Trending: Solids
We are seeing a growing trend of facilities moving from prints to solid colors. Many hospitals and medical offices are using specific colors to identify a job or department. (This is a great starting place for team building!) Scrub color specific departments also makes is easier for staff with specific duties to be identified. To these facilities who want to identify their staff by uniform color, may we suggest you go with what we call "Core Colors".
"Core Colors" are a group of colors that each manufacturer has selected to remain in their line long term, so you don't have to worry about not being able to dress new hires throughout the year. (There is nothing worse than having all your staff in a color and a couple of months down the road, the color is no longer available.) These core colors are also stocked in higher quantities to prevent back orders or delays in shipping. (When you have a new hire, they need their uniforms right away.)
The core colors are also made in a wider variety of body styles in tops, pants and jackets than the other colors. This ensures that even though a staff member is limited to one color for their department, they still have a wide selection to choose from to reflect their personal style.
Many of the brands have the same colors in their core line up, so that expands the field of choices even more. One word of warning, a color such as navy blue from one manufacturer may be a bit different than navy blue from another manufacturer; so we suggest you have your top and pant from the same line to ensure a perfect match.
