Southampton T-Shirt Printing and Workwear

Southampton has been one of Britain's great ports for centuries. The Mayflower set out from here in 1620, the Titanic sailed from the city's docks in 1912, and today Southampton is the UK's busiest cruise port as well as a major container terminal. That maritime economy, two universities and a lively city centre keep local businesses busy all year. We supply printed t-shirts, embroidered workwear and branded merchandise to Southampton companies, ship crews and sports teams.

What we print

Clothing for Southampton's docks, venues and teams.

Workwear for port and logistics teams

Embroidered polos, sweatshirts and waterproof jackets give port, logistics and marine engineering teams a professional look that copes with the weather on the waterfront. Our guide to the best waterproof jackets to brand compares the options.

Uniforms for hotels, bars and restaurants

Cruise days bring thousands of visitors into the city, and venues around Ocean Village, Oxford Street and Bedford Place need staff who look the part. Hospitality workwear, aprons and embroidered shirts keep a team consistent through a busy season.

University and club kit

Students at the University of Southampton and Solent University order society hoodies, varsity kit and freshers t-shirts every year, and local sports clubs use printed sportswear for training and match days.

From the waterfront to the city centre

The Southampton International Boat Show fills Mayflower Park every September, and exhibitors, crews and event staff need clothing that is clearly branded from a distance. Bulk printed t-shirts, tote bags and printed lanyards work well together for a stand, and telling us the show dates when you order lets us plan the turnaround around them.

For companies in the city centre and on business parks out towards Eastleigh and Chilworth, a consistent uniform matters as much as the logo. Embroidery starts from just 8 units, so a growing team can reorder a handful of polos at a time, and our guide to the best workwear garments explains which pieces last longest.

Local brands and makers usually start with screen printing, which is recommended from 20 units per design and gives Pantone matched colour that stays bright wash after wash. Every order comes with a free visual proof, so you can see exactly how the print will sit on the garment before anything is made.
