Plan a new-year uniform refresh in four steps: count who needs shirts and how many each, lock one clean logo file and one simple layout, pick one or two shirt colors, then order everything in a single crew pack so every shirt matches. LuxPort Print Co in San Antonio prints custom work shirts with no minimum order and no design skills needed, and crew packs include front and back printing at the listed pack price.
Why refresh uniforms at the start of the year?
January is a natural reset: faded or mismatched shirts get replaced, new staff get the same look as everyone else, and the business looks sharp for the year's first customers. A consistent uniform also gives employees one clear standard for what to wear.
Over a year, people join the team, roles change, logos get adjusted, and one employee's shirt can look quite different from another's. A new-year review helps a small business choose one recognizable look instead of making separate design decisions whenever someone needs another shirt.
This does not require a complete rebrand. Often the useful change is straightforward: one approved logo, clean wording, and standard short-sleeve cotton shirts in a consistent style. Think of the refresh as practical brand housekeeping: preserve what customers recognize and clean up details that have drifted.
Step 1: How many work shirts does our business need?
Count your current staff, decide how many work shirts each person needs in a typical week, and allow a few for new hires. Many small businesses start by planning two or three shirts per person, then adjust based on their schedules.
Start with names and sizes, not pack quantities
Make one list with every team member's name, role, size, and number of shirts. Ask everyone to confirm their size rather than guessing, and identify employees who need a role-specific back line. One accurate roster is easier to use than scattered messages.
Then count shirts, not just people. Six employees receiving two shirts each need twelve shirts; the same six people receiving three each need eighteen. Decide whether to hold a few extras for staffing changes, but keep those separate from shirts assigned to employees.
The 12-shirt Business Starter Pack is one reference point for smaller crews. If your count is higher, review the Business Crew Shirt Packages collection and compare quantities against your actual roster before choosing.
When do we provide sizes and colors?
Collect selections internally before ordering, but the crew-pack size/color breakdown is submitted after the order. You do not have to send everyone's sizes before checkout. Keep the confirmed list handy so your team can submit the breakdown together.

Step 2: Is our business logo and layout ready?
Choose one clean, high-resolution logo file and a simple front-and-back layout. A clear, approved design helps your whole crew represent the same business instead of wearing different versions of its identity.
What belongs on the front and back?
A logo on the front and the business name on the back is a practical starting point. Add a phone number or website to the back if customers may need to contact you later. Avoid crowding every service and contact method into one design.
Thin lines and tiny lettering can be difficult to read when artwork is reduced to shirt size. Focus on logo visibility, clear letters, and comfortable spacing. A shirt needs to identify the company, not reproduce every detail from a large sign.
If you need artwork help or your logo file is missing, the LuxPort team can create it through Have LuxPort Design It. You do not need design skills or finished artwork to begin planning your order.
What should we check on the proof?
Check spelling, each digit of the phone number, the website, logo placement, front and back wording, and print colors. Select one person for final approval so your team is not working from conflicting versions.
A proof is included with every crew pack order and is approved before printing. Treat it as a last review of the actual artwork and wording, not just a quick glance at the overall idea. Consistent approval helps keep the entire team looking coordinated.

Step 3: What shirt colors give everyone one look?
Choose one main shirt color for the whole team, or two colors if different roles need a clear distinction. Keep the same core logo and print layout so both groups still look like one business.
One color makes a uniform plan easy to explain and repeat. Instead of letting each person choose a completely different look, document the agreed color alongside the logo and approved artwork. That record also helps when someone new joins.
Two colors can work for a business with field staff and front-desk employees. You can distinguish the groups while keeping the business name, typography, and print placement consistent. The distinction should clarify roles, not make two unrelated uniforms.
Crew-pack colors and sizes are chosen in the size/color breakdown after the order. Settle the team's decisions first, then send one organized breakdown. A readable, simple print usually communicates more clearly than crowded artwork with competing decorative details.
Step 4: Which crew pack fits our team?
Match your shirt count to a practical crew pack, and check which print locations are included. LuxPort's listed crew packs include front and back printing at the stated pack price.
12 Custom Work Shirts – Business Starter Pack
The 12 Custom Work Shirts – Business Starter Pack costs $155.88 for 12 shirts, or about $12.99 each. Front and back print are included. It works for a business planning one matching order instead of separate designs for individual people.
A twelve-shirt pack could cover six employees receiving two shirts apiece, for example. Base your choice on confirmed sizes and how many shirts each person needs, not just the number of people on your payroll.
24 Custom Contractor Work Shirts – Crew Special
The 24 Custom Contractor Work Shirts – Crew Special costs $311.76 for 24 shirts, or about $12.99 each. Front and back print are included, and 1 spare shirt included. Use your roster to plan the twenty-four crew shirts and decide how to use that spare.

What if we need more or fewer shirts?
For a larger team, see the Business Crew Shirt Packages collection for bigger packs. For just a few staff members, Design Your Own Custom T-Shirt costs $24.99 per shirt for front-only printing or $29.99 for front and back. For example, five front-and-back shirts at $29.99 each total $149.95.
Compare how many shirts you actually need, whether your design uses the back, and whether everyone should match in one coordinated order. The right option follows your staffing plan rather than an arbitrary quantity.
Should different roles or trades get different work shirts?
Keep one core business look for everyone, then add role-specific wording only where useful. A back line such as “Service Tech” or “Install Crew” can distinguish responsibilities without creating a separate visual identity.
Keep the logo, lettering style, and placement consistent even when a back line varies. A customer should recognize your company whether they meet a service employee, an installer, or someone working at the front desk.
Ask whether additional words answer a customer's question. If the label helps someone find the right employee, include it. If it creates clutter, the business name and contact detail may be more helpful.
Track the quantity for each role variation when preparing the order. This keeps all versions connected to the same brand while giving your business an accurate shirt count.

How do San Antonio businesses put the plan into action?
Matching shirts help customers recognize your employees. From service vans crossing Loop 1604 to shops on the West Side, a fresh uniform tells customers who's who the moment your crew walks in.
Assign one person to collect the roster, logo file, design decisions, and final proof approval. Save those details together for future employees. Simple organization helps the team avoid revisiting every design decision whenever another shirt is needed.
