Affinity Apparel

You receive a dedicated account manager, a company mobile ordering portal, and consolidated invoicing. Your online catalog can be built to suit your needs and if you needed a branded look, they do offer company logo options.
Aramark
Aramark, headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, goes above just a uniform program. Aside from uniforms, they also operate in food services, facilities services, and additional services, depending on industry.
Aramark’s uniform offering includes options to rent, lease, or direct purchase. One of the key differences with their purchase program is that it acts more like a consumer web shopping experience. An employee will upload their company logo and shop for whatever they want to purchase. Unlike some of the other uniform providers, Aramark isn’t offering a truly personalized program to their clients. Instead, they offer more of an open catalog of options an employee can choose from.

- corporate identity uniform programs
- entrance and logo mats
- restroom supplies
- first aid
- safety

Cintas, like Aramark and Unifirst, will offer you the ability to rent or purchase a uniform through a uniform program. Cintas uniform programs can include suiting, shirts, pants, accessories, outerwear, culinary, scrubs, headwear, and workwear.
Unifirst
Located in Wilmington, MA, Unifirst falls into the same category as Cintas and Aramark. Unifirst offers various uniform programs, as well as industry solutions and facility service solution.
