Find it. Love it. Wear it. Branded hi-vis and workwear is where safety compliance meets brand presence — the vest on the site manager, the polo on the field crew, the softshell on the utilities team at 6am. Sense2 has been briefing custom workwear for Australian construction, government, events and resource-sector teams for 30 years, with AS/NZS 4602.1-compliant ranges, thousands of 5-star Google reviews, and the kind of embroidery register that makes a fleet of forty crew shirts look like one considered brand.

Best for

Choose high-vis & workwear if your moment is construction and trades crews, utilities, councils and field services or event crew, stage and production teams.

Construction and trades crews

Day/night taped hi-vis polos in 175gsm cooldry for summer sites; pair with a taped softshell for early starts and a structured cap with embroidered logo. Name embroidery on the right chest keeps the set personal without looking messy.

Utilities, councils and field services

Two-tone hi-vis shirts with reflective tape read beautifully at distance and photograph well for community-facing campaigns — the uniform becomes part of the brand when the colour story is right.

Event crew, stage and production teams

Non-taped hi-vis vests over branded tees work for bump-in, bump-out and back-of-house. Order one size up for layering over hoodies in winter loadouts.

Mining, resources and FR-required sites

Flame-resistant and hydrocarbon-sector workwear with certified tape — briefed through our resources-sector specialists with full compliance documentation for your HSE file.

Corporate site visits and brand activations

A beautifully embroidered hi-vis vest over a crisp white shirt is the moment a CEO walks a new site. Keep a kitted set of five in the office for last-minute visits — we can hold stock for call-off.

Our field team kit arrived beautifully folded, name-embroidered and ready to hand out at the Monday toolbox. The Sense2 team understood our brand colours so precisely that the hi-vis felt like an extension of the campaign, not a safety afterthought.

Perth resources sector

We reorder our crew polos every season and the embroidery register is always exact — same thread, same position, every shirt. Delivery lands a few days ahead of when we need them, every time.

Claudia · People Experience Lead
nationwide infrastructure services brand

The size-run samples arrived in 48 hours and saved us a rollout headache across four states. Considered at every touchpoint — exactly what we'd hoped for from a branded workwear partner.

How to choose

Start with the compliance requirement — that's the decision that drives every other choice. AS/NZS 4602.1 Class D is day use, Class N is night, Class D/N is both (day garment with retroreflective tape to AS/NZS 1906.4). If your team works near traffic, on a rail corridor, or after dusk, you need taped garments. Your safety officer will tell you which class the site requires; we'll match the stock. Then think about fabric weight and climate. A 175gsm cooldry polo breathes beautifully on a Brisbane summer site; a 210gsm drill shirt holds up to Melbourne winter wear. Softshell jackets (with or without hi-vis panels) handle early-morning field work and look considered at community events. For heavy trades, cotton drill and poly-cotton blends take embroidery cleanly and survive the wash cycle a crew shirt lives through. Branding method is almost always embroidery for workwear — it survives industrial laundering, reads premium against hi-vis fluoro, and the thread doesn't peel off the way transfers can after a hundred washes. Left-chest logo is standard, right-chest name embroidery is the touch that turns a uniform into a brand. Screen print works for event crew tees and higher-volume budget runs; sublimated panels work on polyester polos where you want a full-colour back panel. On sizing — always order a size-run sample set before the full rollout. Australian workwear sizing varies between suppliers, and a fleet of forty shirts in the wrong fit is a conversation nobody enjoys. Our size-run samples ship in 48 hours; your team tries them on, you send back the size sheet, we press go. Finally, think about name sets and replenishment. If your crew rotates, set up a stored artwork file with your logo digitised once and a standing order for singles and small top-ups. That's the rhythm we run with our long-standing infrastructure and utilities clients — one call, one email, new starter kitted by Friday.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb: at 25 units with left-chest embroidery, a hi-vis polo sits around AU$32-$48, a taped drill shirt AU$45-$68, a hi-vis vest AU$18-$38, and a branded softshell jacket AU$75-$140. At 100 units those drop 15-25%. Right-chest name embroidery adds AU$4-$7 per unit. Digitising is a one-time fee around AU$55-$85 depending on logo complexity. Screen print setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once off.

Frequently asked questions

Is your hi-vis workwear AS/NZS 4602.1 compliant?

Yes — our hi-vis range includes AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 compliant day (Class D), night (Class N) and day/night (Class D/N) garments, with retroreflective tape to AS/NZS 1906.4. Compliance class is clearly flagged on every stock line so your safety officer can sign off without back-and-forth. Full compliance documentation is available on request for your HSE file.

What's the minimum order for branded workwear?

25 units is the typical MOQ for embroidered hi-vis and workwear, 50 for screen print, and as low as 10 for pre-decorated stock lines. Name-embroidered sets can be run down to single units once your logo is digitised with us. For multi-state rollouts at 100+ units, expect 15-25% off the 25-qty tier.

How long does branded workwear take to produce and deliver?

Standard lead time is 10-15 business days from artwork and size-run approval. Stocked decorated lines ship in 3-5 business days on express for urgent site mobilisations. Size-run samples are in your hands within 48 hours Australia-wide so your crew can try-before-commit.

What branding methods work best on hi-vis and workwear?

Embroidery is our first recommendation for workwear — it survives industrial laundering, reads premium against fluoro, and the thread doesn't peel. Left-chest logo is standard, right-chest name embroidery is the considered touch. Screen print suits higher-volume event tees, and sublimated panels work for full-colour back designs on polyester polos.

Can I order a size-run sample before committing to the full order?

Yes — size-run samples ship Australia-wide within 48 hours. Your team tries on the fit, we review the size sheet together, and the full order goes into production. After 30 years of workwear rollouts, we know Australian sizing varies between suppliers, and a size-run sample is the difference between a clean rollout and a reorder.

Do you offer flame-resistant or mining-sector workwear?

Yes — we supply FR-rated and hydrocarbon-sector workwear briefed through our resources-sector specialists, with full certification documentation. We've kitted teams across WA, QLD and SA resource sites with compliance packs sized for multi-year programs.
