Branded Apparel

Branded Apparel for Canadian Teams

Battlefield Advertising sources and decorates apparel for staff uniforms, event teams, retail and corporate gifting, with embroidery and printing handled by vetted suppliers across Canada.

Apparel that represents your brand on and off the clock

Branded apparel covers a wide range of needs, from a small run of polos for an office team to seasonal uniforms for a crew working outdoors, to event t-shirts for a one-day activation. What stays consistent across all of it is the need for the right product for the wearer, accurate sizing, and decoration that holds up to regular wear and washing.

Battlefield Advertising sources apparel through the Proforma network, which includes brands suited to office wear, outdoor and trade work, retail and athletic fit, along with decorators experienced in embroidery, screen printing and heat transfer. Orders can be a one-time run or an ongoing program with sized inventory managed for a growing team.

How an apparel order works

1

Confirm the wearer and use

Office wear, outdoor work and event apparel call for different fabrics and fits, so we start with who is wearing it and where.

2

Choose products and sizing

We shortlist apparel options and help confirm a size run for the team, including unisex and fitted options where needed.

3

Approve decoration proof

Before production, you see a mockup showing logo placement and decoration method, embroidery, screen print or heat transfer, on the chosen apparel.

4

Produce and distribute

Approved orders are produced and shipped to your office or, for larger teams, sorted by size and shipped to individual staff through fulfillment.

Decoration methods for apparel

  • Embroidery: durable, professional finish well suited to polos, outerwear and headwear with simple logos.
  • Screen printing: cost-effective for larger runs of t-shirts and event apparel, especially with one or two colours.
  • Heat transfer and digital printing: good for small runs, names and numbers, or full-colour designs that screen printing cannot reproduce easily.
  • Combination decoration: a logo embroidered on the chest with a larger printed design on the back is common for event and team apparel.

Choosing the right fabric and fit

Apparel that looks right in a catalogue does not always hold up to how it will actually be worn. A cotton t-shirt that is comfortable for an office event may not be the right choice for a crew working outdoors in winter, and a fitted style that looks sharp on a model may not suit a team that wants a more relaxed, unisex fit across the board.

Battlefield works through these questions as part of sourcing rather than leaving them to guesswork: how often will the apparel be worn, will it be washed regularly, does it need to meet any safety or visibility requirements, and does the team prefer a consistent fit across genders and sizes or a more tailored option. These details narrow the catalogue down to a shortlist that fits the budget and will hold up to the way it is actually used.

Ongoing apparel programs

For businesses that order apparel more than once a year, whether that is seasonal uniforms, new-hire kits or annual event shirts, an ongoing apparel program keeps sizing records, decoration specs and supplier details on file so each new order does not start from scratch. New staff can be added to an existing program with the same logo placement and fabric as the rest of the team, and seasonal reorders reference the same specs as previous years.

This is especially useful for businesses with staff turnover or growth, where uniforms need to go out on a rolling basis rather than as a single annual order. Combined with promotional fulfillment, sized inventory can be held and shipped to new staff as they are onboarded, so apparel becomes part of the onboarding kit rather than a separate request each time.

Apparel programs by use case

Corporate uniforms keep staff looking consistent across an office, retail location or service team.

Event and trade show teams use branded apparel to stand out and stay identifiable on a busy show floor.

Trades and construction crews rely on durable, hi-vis or weather-appropriate apparel decorated to hold up on site.

Recognition and retail gifting use higher-end apparel as a milestone gift or staff reward.

Branded apparel: frequently asked questions

Can you manage sizing for a large team?
Yes. For larger orders we help confirm a size run across the team before production, and for recurring programs we can keep sized inventory on hand through fulfillment so individual items can be reordered or replaced without a new bulk run.
What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?
Embroidery stitches the logo into the fabric, giving a durable, professional finish best suited to simpler logos on polos, outerwear and headwear. Screen printing applies ink to the surface and is more cost-effective for larger runs or designs with more detail.
Can apparel be shipped directly to individual staff?
Yes. For teams spread across multiple locations or working remotely, apparel can be sorted by size and shipped to individual addresses through the same fulfillment process used for kits.
Do you offer hi-vis or safety-compliant workwear?
Yes. The apparel catalogue includes hi-vis and safety-rated options suited to construction, trades and outdoor work, decorated with the same embroidery and printing methods used for office and event apparel.
