Step 1

Choose the Right
Apron Style

Start with how your employees work. Think about coverage, comfort, what they need to carry, and how long they'll wear the apron during a typical shift.

Bib Aprons

Best for: kitchens, bakeries, cafés, food preparation and general restaurant use.

Good chest-to-waist coverage with plenty of visible space for a logo.

Waist Aprons

Best for: servers, bartenders and front-of-house staff.

Lightweight and easy to move in when full upper-body coverage isn't necessary.

Crossback Aprons

Best for: employees who wear aprons for extended periods.

Crossback straps distribute weight differently than a traditional neck strap and can improve comfort during long shifts.

Think About Pockets

Consider: what employees actually carry throughout the day.

Pens, order pads, phones, towels and tools can make pocket size and placement surprisingly important.

Practical Tip:

Don't choose an apron based only on appearance. A comfortable, functional apron is more likely to be worn correctly throughout the shift — and that helps your entire staff maintain a consistent, professional look.

Plan Your Quantity

Custom apron pricing generally decreases per apron as order quantity increases. Before deciding how many aprons to order, consider current staff as well as replacements, new hires and future needs.

Current Staff

How many employees need aprons right now?

Replacement Inventory

Will you want extras available for stains, damage or normal wear?

New Employees

Could adding a few extra aprons now prevent a small reorder later?

Multiple Teams

Can locations or departments be combined into a single order?
