Aprons are increasingly used in catering, baking, hotels, and various industrial environments, effectively providing waterproofing, oil resistance, and safety protection.
If you are a procurement manager in a particular industry, selecting the appropriate aprons for your industry is essential. Based on our decades of experience communicating with various clients, this article introduces five key considerations for wholesale aprons.
1. Functional Material Selection (Based on Industry)

If you work in a manufacturing plant, the aprons you choose must be stain-resistant, waterproof, and may even require anti-static and flame-retardant properties.
Here are apron recommendations for different industries:
Kitchens, restaurants, slaughterhouses, fish processing, other processing factories: PVC aprons
Barbecues, picnics: Coated nylon aprons
Chemical, electronics, dyeing, electroplating: Rubber aprons
Hotels, high-end clubs: Silk, cotton-linen aprons
2. Apron Manufacturer Selection
Once you have determined the type and material of aprons you need, selecting the right apron manufacturer is crucial.
Priority criteria:
• Companies with extensive production and logistics experience.
• Preferably manufacturing facilities rather than trading companies (to reduce costs).
• Possession of production qualifications.
• Design capabilities.
• Excellent after-sales service and a reliable team.
3. Customized Aprons

Typically, we need to print patterns or brand logos on aprons, which requires the apron supplier to have design and customization capabilities.
4. Minimum Order Quantity and Price
Wholesale aprons have minimum order quantity requirements. Select suppliers based on the quantity you need to wholesale. If the order quantity is under 1,000 sets, this can be handled through e-commerce platforms or local apron manufacturing factories.
If the wholesale quantity exceeds 1,000 sets, you can choose manufacturers from other countries, which may offer more competitive pricing. Please contact us for relevant quotes.
5. Delivery Dates and Logistics
When sourcing aprons globally, delivery dates can be controlled within 1-2 months. Local procurement can be completed within 2 weeks.
Schlussfolgerung
Finally, please do not forget to conduct supplier qualification inspections, including video factory inspections, third-party testing agency inspections, and on-site visits.
