How to Find a Custom Uniform Manufacturer for a Startup

Finding a custom uniform manufacturer for a startup is all about finding the perfect fit. If it's not the right fit, then it won't work in the long run. And, I never recommend that a brand work with the first uniform manufacturer they talk to. Finding your supply chain partner is more of a numbers game, and the truth is, you definitely always want to have a backup or a plan B.

But if you want to try to solve your supply chain problems on your own without my guidance, this article will teach you how to stop searching for terms like uniform manufacturer near me and start looking for the best uniform manufacturers around.

 

What this article will cover.

● Where to find startup-friendly uniform manufacturers

The Goldilocks Method

Remember Goldilocks and the Three Bears? The childhood story about a young home invader making herself comfortable in a bear family's house? She ate their porridge (one too hot, one too cold, one just right), sat in their chairs (one too big, another too small, the last just right), and slept in their beds (one too hard, one too soft, one just right).

When you start building your supply chain and approaching custom clothing makers for startups, you want to be Goldilocks, meaning, be picky and make sure they are just right for your brand. Remember what works for another brand may not work for you.

So, in order to be able to be picky and not just settle for any uniform manufacturer that agrees to work with you, you need a decent list of potential clients.
