Joe Greco, MSOD who is President of Greco Apparel talks about how Greco Apparel works with clients who are required to manufacture garments in union factories.

Our clients will ask us about if Greco Apparel is capable of using factories with unionized labor so we wanted to record a short video to explain our capabilities to fulfill on clients demands of producing garments in factories that are unionized.

There are still Union Manufacturers in the United States. As long as these union factories are price competitive, there is still no difference for demands of quality and production no matter if it is a union factory or not.

Clients will need to understand that will pay a little more for union factories, but certainly not an issue. Greco Apparel has manufactured uniforms for delivery service DHL who has union drivers, so it was required that the uniforms be manufactured in union factories which we were able to source effectively.

Call us at 215-628-2557 if you have questions about producing garments in Union factories.

Our clients often ask us about if Greco Apparel manufactures uniforms for defense contracts so we wanted to record a short video to explain the types of defense contracts we have manufactured in past as well as our qualifications like National Defense Industrial Association.

Certainly credibility is important when being qualified for defense contracts. These components include quality, social, safety compliance, and fare treatment of employees.

Our factories are audited by independent certification firms to ensure compliance. These independent certification firms will look for things such as well lit and accessible exit signs, fire extinguishers, and event interview employees to confirm that they are indeed paid overtime.

Workers need to be safe, as it is not only for qualification but also just good business to take care of people doing production.

There is an annual certification process, inspectors will work with you to make corrections, but clients will discontinue to work in a specific factory if these qualifications are not met as it is bad for their employees and bad for their brand reputation.

Call us at 215-628-2557 if you have questions about manufacturing defense contract uniforms.

Our clients often ask us about if Greco Apparel manufactures uniforms for security industry so we wanted to record a short video to explain the types of scrubs we make for the security industry such as police uniforms, security guard uniforms and police uniforms.

Things to keep in mind when making security guard shirts are that you want shirt to look like crisp uniform. This can be accomplished with stitch pleats so shirts look freshly pressed. Typically, high content of polyester so shirt is easy to wash. May be stain release treatment on there so can be cleaned without much problem. Security guards must look acceptable at all times.

Color is another item to be conscious about while manufacturing security guard uniforms. More specifically, color consistently as all blue shirts need to be same type of blue, which is measured according to color standards not just naked eye.

The cliche is for uniforms to look uniform. Blue shirts all look same color blue according to color standards, so we use digital photography equipment. This allows us to deliver on what is expected by client and monitored on ongoing basis.

Shirts for security guards are very similar to shirts manufactured for correction facilities. We have had the honor of manufacturing uniforms for states of Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania as well as cities of Cincinnati and Los Angeles. LA police departments use wool products which are comfortable even in heat.

Tradition, performance, looking good as well as cost are all factors typically when making police uniforms. There is not one standard product, police will have variety of different uniforms from SWAT team to people working at desk. Officers and patrol people will also have different uniforms. This depends on the style that organization is adopting, which can change over time.
