Why Your Hotel Uniforms Should Be a Mix of Stock and Custom-Branded Items

Balancing Flexibility and Branding with Hotel Uniforms

When it comes to hotel uniforms, the key is finding a balance between stock items and custom pieces that reflect your brand. At Henry & Gray, we understand that while custom uniforms are a great way to showcase your hotel’s identity, most hotels need the flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and quick lead times that come with stock items.

By combining the two, you can achieve the perfect mix of functionality, style, and brand identity—all while meeting your operational needs.

The Benefits of Stock Items

Stock items from premium brands are an excellent choice for most of your hotel staff uniforms. They offer several key advantages:

• Flexibility: Stock items allow for easy ordering and reordering, ensuring you’re never caught without the right size or style.

• Quick Lead Times: With pre-made garments, you can have uniforms delivered quickly, which is crucial for hotels with tight timelines.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Stock items are often more affordable than custom garments, giving you more flexibility with your uniform budget.

Adding a Touch of Custom Branding

While stock items form the backbone of your uniforms, custom branding adds the finishing touch that aligns with your hotel’s unique identity. Custom digital print ties, scarves, pocket squares, and embroidery ensure your uniforms look cohesive and premium, while subtly reinforcing your brand image.

These custom touches elevate your staff’s appearance without compromising on the practicality of stock items.

Why the Mix Works

• Brand Identity: Custom branding, like embroidered logos or digital prints, helps your hotel stand out without the need for custom-made uniforms for every item.

• Operational Efficiency: Stock items are ready to go, ensuring your hotel staff have functional and well-fitting uniforms, while custom items can be added for a branded edge.

• Cost and Time Savings: Customising key items (like ties or scarves) and relying on stock options for the bulk of the uniform allows for cost-effective solutions with quicker turnaround times.

The Best of Both Worlds

At Henry & Gray, we believe in offering the best of both worlds—custom uniforms and premium stock apparel items. This approach provides the flexibility and efficiency of stock while maintaining the tailored, polished look that your hotel needs.
