Custom scrubs & lab coats · department colours
Scrub tops, pants, scrub jackets and lab coats cut, sewn and embroidered in one factory, one colour per department. Each colour is a line on a register you sign, and every facility re-orders from that line.
01By buyer
One scrubs program, several buildings, one colour for each department.
Wards, theatres and emergency look the same in every building; names are embroidered and packed per person, department and facility.
A new clinic orders from the colours and styles already on your register, so it opens in the same scrubs as the others.
Porters, housekeeping, catering and facilities staff go on the same register as clinical colours, so every role in the building keeps its own colour.
Private label medical scrubs and scrubs wholesale under your woven labels, with your core colours held in fabric reserve for every re-order (how re-orders match).
02Department colour register
One record of which colour each department wears. Every later order, at every facility, is made from it.
A Pantone reference, or a garment your staff wear today. If that garment is faded, an unworn piece or the Pantone becomes the target.
Up to 3 options per colour on your fabric, each tested against chlorine before you see it (the test).
The whole set side by side under D65 daylight, so theatre sits next to emergency and wards next to outpatient. Approved once.
The colour lab keeps the retained lab dip. You keep its twin, and each facility can request its own set.
Example department colours — yours are lab-dipped to your Pantone.

The account manager keeps styles, facilities and staff lists current. The colour lab technician keeps the retained lab dips and the dye-lot records behind each line.
A new colour, facility, fabric or style opens a new version that you sign again. Earlier versions stay on file, so any past order traces back to its register.
A signed copy of every version, the twin swatches for each colour, and the lab-dip test results behind each line.
Hospital or contract laundry, often with chlorine disinfection, or washing at home. The route decides the fabric, the tests run on each colour and which decoration test applies (laundering).
This sets the lab dips and the register layout.

05Re-orders
Once the register is signed, every facility orders from it, directly or through head office.
Department, colour code, style, sizes and names. The account manager confirms back which line and version it is made from.
Core colours of an active program are held for 24 months, so a re-order starts from fabric already here and stays on the re-order lead time.
Every roll batch is read against that colour's retained lab dip. Fabric outside tolerance is held back, re-dyed or replaced, and you hear before cutting if the ship date moves. Method and tolerance: colour continuity.
Within one order, a department's tops and pants are cut from the same fabric and dye lot, recorded against the retained lab dip.
CAD pattern and marker files kept for your program, so this medium is the first order's medium.
Logos run from the program's set-up record; names from the facility's staff list, with a spelling proof signed first.
Per person, grouped by department, in cartons labelled for the facility.
A new register version; on register colours with fabric in reserve, it opens on the re-order lead time.
Lab-dipped, approved next to your existing set, given its own retained lab dip and twin, and added as a new version.
Every facility orders from one register.Every colour has one retained lab dip.
06On the ward
New scrubs go onto a ward where staff already wear earlier batches. Each facility can confirm the new batch on delivery day, without waiting for head office.
The nurse manager holds a new garment against the twin, in daylight, and sees the same reference the colour lab used.
Wards · RLD-WRD
Twin · register v3
Every re-order ships with the spectrophotometer reading of its fabric against the retained lab dip: a written result for each colour in the delivery.
Each carton carries PO, style, colour, dye lot, facility and department, plus name, size and site on packs made per person.
Each order confirmation names the register line and version it was made from, the same entry as the garments already on the ward.
Laundered garments look different from unworn ones of the same dye lot; the twin and the reading separate laundering wear from a colour difference.

08Hospital laundering
Hospital scrubs are washed hot, often by a contract laundry and often with chlorine-based disinfection. Each program is built to that routine at three levels.
Grade ≥ 4
Tested on every lab dip before you see it. A shade below grade 4 is re-dyed with a new recipe and tested again, so every option in front of you has already passed.
≤ 3%
A medium bought this year still fits like a medium after months of laundering, so wear-trial sizes stay right.
× 50
ISO 15797 for industrial laundering or ISO 6330 for home washing, at sample stage. Industrial programs re-test on pre-production pieces before bulk release. Pass criteria: work shirts page.
The colour lab technician runs the lab-dip tests. Line QC checks first pieces against the approved sample. The QC manager releases bulk (the seven steps).
The lab-dip test result for each department colour, before and after wash photos, and the wash test record for each logo.
09Fabrics
Bought from mills in the colour you approve at lab-dip stage.
For scrubs that go to a hospital or contract laundry. Polyester keeps strength and shape through industrial cycles; cotton keeps it comfortable over a long shift. Stain-release finish on request.
Movement in every direction, a softer hand and a closer fit, for comfort-first programs and brands that sell on fit.
Heavier, holds a coat's shape and covers well. A different fabric, so each lab coat colour keeps its own retained lab dip.
Every department colour is tested for chlorine fastness and shrinkage before it is offered (laundering).
Tested textiles for skin contact are available, with the fabric certificate supplied with the order.
