Explore discount school uniform suppliers

If you're looking to offer standard uniforms for the schools in your community, wholesale school uniform companies or suppliers of discount school uniforms are a good bet.

I recommend: Shirt Supplier accepts school and government purchase orders and also supplies wholesale school uniforms to the public. AllHeartKids offers everyday low prices on such popular school uniform brands as Dickies and French Toast.

Offer fashion-forward designs

Most school uniform manufacturers have branched out beyond the basic button-down shirt and trousers for boys school uniforms and cardigan and plaid skirt for girls school uniforms. Yes, school uniforms need to be . . . well . . . uniform, but there's nothing wrong with a little variety to keep things interesting.

I recommend: Cookie’s offers a wide variety of school uniforms – even high school uniforms – plus accessories like belts and shoes. French Toast is a school uniform superstore that has plenty of styles for children of all shapes and sizes.

Get in the school spirit with logo wear

Logo wear has become a popular offshoot of school uniforms, offering students a way to show a sense of pride in their school and their community.

I recommend: Dennis Uniform provides a variety of ways to translate a logo onto apparel, such as heat transfer, embroidery, and appliqué, among others. Ibiley School Uniforms also offers logo wear and a nice selection of school uniform styles.

Explore other niches

Once you've entered the school uniform game, you may want to consider other custom apparel areas, such as uniforms for the medical industry.

I recommend: Custom Uniform Company supplies school uniforms as well as apparel for restaurants, the military, hotels, and more. Jasco Uniform focuses on the medical industry.
