Looking unique and professional is a significant factor in getting hired. However, most medical offices cannot afford uniforms for their employees. Thus, personalizing your clothing with logos, patches, and pins improves your image and showcases your team spirit. Customizing your uniform can be affordable, fun, and accessible.
1. Add a Logo
A custom logo is an inexpensive way to personalize your uniform and build recognition for your clinic. Before starting a project, do your research and find the ideal logo for your clinic. A logo design should have 3 to 5 colors with clear, stylish fonts.
2. Insert a Patch
Patches are an excellent way to display team colors or a mascot symbol. Your patch should be made of quality, washable material that will not lose shape over time. Remember to choose colors that complement the color of your uniform.
3. Make a Pin
A pin may be the simplest way to personalize your clinic’s uniform. Again, make sure you choose colors that complement the color of your uniform. A pin can also adhere to additional information about your practice on a tag that hangs at the base of your shirt collar. Your front name badge should always match the emblem of your clinic’s logo.
4. Scrub Caps
Most medical offices have a logo on their scrubs cap. If you want to make your cap more distinctive, you can purchase a cap with different colored bills. This will enable you to choose from various colors to match your scrubs. You can also wear personalized scrub hats by choosing caps with unique logos and patches.
5. Name Badges
Name badges are essential in creating a uniform look for employees at the front desk and inpatient care areas. Although some people skip wearing name badges, wear them to show professionalism. Avoid putting your last name on the badge, as this can seem too formal. Instead, use your first and last initial.
6. Aprons
Aprons are an excellent way to personalize a medical office uniform with a logo or patch. Your uniform apron should be made of thick material and not limited to one color, so you have options if you spill something on it.
7. Embroidery
Embroidery is an excellent way to create a unique look for your uniform and worn over your white coat. You can embroider personal information on the side of your universal wear scrubs. Embroidered patches are also a great way to personalize a medical office uniform with a logo or patch.
8. Choose the Right Size Scrub
Choosing the right size scrubs to fit you perfectly will make you look more presentable while improving your comfort. Don’t just pick a uniform that fits now because it might not fit in a few months if you lose or gain weight. The detailed lab coat size chart shows how to measure a perfect fit.
As a final note, remember that you need to wear comfortable shoes and clothes that are breathable and made of natural fabrics. You should also wear hairnets and caps during the workday when appropriate.
