The Most Common Uniform Mistakes Businesses Make After the Summer Break

2 February, 2026 by Arun Marappan

As businesses return from the summer break, uniforms are often one of the first things addressed. New staff, upcoming projects and renewed sales activity all drive the need for updated apparel. However, this period is also when many costly and avoidable uniform mistakes occur.

Across Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley, Burwood, Mulgrave, Clayton, Springvale, Dingley and Noble Park, the most common issue is rushing decisions. Businesses often reorder without reviewing what still works, what needs updating, or whether the garments are suitable for summer conditions. This leads to inconsistent presentation and unnecessary replacement costs.

Another frequent mistake is using the same decoration method across every garment simply because it appears cheaper or easier. Different garments serve different purposes. A decoration method that works on a polo may not suit a cap, hoodie or promotional item. This approach often results in poor durability or an unprofessional finish.

Brand colour accuracy is also overlooked. After time away, logos are reused from old files without checking colour consistency or file quality. Low resolution artwork and incorrect colour matching reduce brand impact and can affect credibility, particularly for customer facing teams.

Businesses also underestimate timelines. Summer ordering often coincides with peak demand. Leaving uniform decisions too late leads to rushed production, limited garment availability and compromised outcomes.

The most effective approach is to treat uniforms as part of business planning rather than a last minute task. Reviewing garment types, decoration methods, quantities and delivery timelines early prevents errors and protects brand presentation.

At Fully Promoted Glen Waverley, we work with businesses across Mount Waverley, Clayton and surrounding suburbs to ensure uniforms are fit for purpose, seasonally appropriate and aligned with long term brand goals.
