Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for chef aprons?
1 piece. Order a single apron with your chef name or restaurant logo, or a full team uniform batch. Same pricing per piece either way, no minimum quantity requirement.
Are your aprons safe for commercial kitchen use?
Yes. 100% cotton canvas is the industry standard for commercial chef aprons because pure cotton handles heat better than polyester blends, does not melt near open flame, and naturally absorbs minor splashes without staining permanently.
Can I add a chef name in addition to the logo?
Yes. Common layout: restaurant or culinary logo on center chest, chef name or position embroidered below or on the side. Same per-piece price whether you order one personalized apron or twenty with different names.
How should I wash and care for the apron?
Machine wash cold below 30 degrees Celsius with similar colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Iron at medium heat avoiding the embroidery. Pre-wash before first use to reduce initial shrinkage. Cotton canvas softens beautifully with each wash and remains durable for years.
