How we work

A straightforward, reliable process designed to get your branded workwear to you efficiently and without complications.

STEP BY STEP

Our simple, reliable process

From initial enquiry to delivery, here's what you can expect when working with Smarten Up.

1

2

Discuss your requirements

We start with a conversation about what you need—garment types, quantities, logo specifications, and timing. No pressure, just a straightforward discussion to understand your requirements.

Garments sourced

We source quality garments from our network of trusted UK suppliers. Most items are available for next-day delivery, keeping your order moving without unnecessary delays.

3

Embroidery production

Using digitised artwork, we reproduce your logo with precision and consistency on every item. Your garments are then passed to our experienced embroidery machinist.

5

Quality inspection

Every finished garment is inspected before dispatch. We check stitch quality, positioning, and overall finish to ensure everything meets our standards.

Dispatch and delivery

Your order is carefully packaged and dispatched. We provide tracking information so you know exactly when to expect delivery.

TURNAROUND TIME

When can you expect your order?

Our typical turnaround time is 10-15 working days from artwork confirmation to dispatch. This depends on:

  • Order size and complexity

  • Garment availability from suppliers

  • Number of embroidery positions per garment

  • Any specific requirements or customisations

For urgent orders or specific deadlines, let us know upfront and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline.

CLEAR COMMUNICATION

We believe in keeping you informed throughout the process. You'll receive:

​

  • Order confirmation with expected timeline.

  • Updates if anything affects your delivery date.

  • Dispatch notification with tracking details.

  • Follow-up to ensure satisfaction.

COMMUNICATION

No surprises, just reliable updates

We understand that when you're ordering workwear for your team, you need to plan around delivery dates. That's why clear communication is central to how we work.

​

If there's ever an issue that might affect your order, such as garment availability or unexpected complexity, we'll let you know immediately and discuss options.

​

No chasing required. No wondering where your order is. Just straightforward, professional service from start to finish. Contact us today to learn more about our processes and services.

ONGOING ORDERS

Simplified repeat ordering

Many of our clients place regular monthly or quarterly orders. We make the process as simple as possible.

STORED ARTWORK

Your logo digitisation is stored on file, ready for immediate use on future orders.

QUICK REORDERS

Repeat orders can often be processed faster as setup work is already complete.

CONSISTENT RESULTS

Every order uses the same specification, ensuring identical branding every time.
