Small Team Uniforms (5-10 People): What to Order First (Melbourne Tradies)

For a 5-10 person team, the best first uniform order is 2-3 tees per person + 1 cap per person, then add hi-vis/polos/outerwear depending on job requirements. With no minimum orders, you can start small and reorder as staff change.

If you’re running a 5-10 person crew, you’re in the sweet spot: big enough that uniforms matter, small enough that a massive order is a waste of money. Here’s the best way to order uniforms for a small team without getting stuck with boxes of the wrong sizes.

The best first order (simple, cost-effective)

Per person:

  • 2-3 tees (rotation is everything)
  • 1 cap (instant branding, one-size)

Why this works:

  • Tees are worn constantly
  • Caps make the crew look like a crew
  • Easy to reorder later when staff change

Add-ons (only if your work requires it)

Hi-vis: if site rules demand it

Polos: if you’re customer-facing and want a clean look

Winter gear: hoodies/jackets for early starts

How to handle sizing (so you don’t waste money)

The smart move:

  • Order one test size if you’re unsure
  • Or confirm by measuring a tee you already like

See: workwear sizing guide.

Reorders (the reason no minimums matters)

Small teams change constantly: new starters, replacements, seasonal gear.

That’s why uniforms with no minimum quantity is a game changer you can reorder what you need, when you need it.
