It is dark by half past four and the Christmas party season is nearly here, so security teams are about to get busy. A team in matching, smart kit with your company name on it looks organised before anyone says a word. Our Security page has it all in one place, and here is how we'd put a team together.
Smart Basics For Door And Patrol
Start with a polo in Black or Navy (£10.65, or £9.59 with a free trade account) or a sweatshirt (£20.39). For wind and rain on patrol, a softshell jacket is £27.59, and a beanie is £7.29 for the coldest nights. These prices include a vinyl logo on the front. If you'd like embroidery on the polos, tell us and we'll quote it.
Security Vests With An ID Window
The Result Safeguard security vest is a heavy-duty polycotton vest with plenty of pockets, reflective bands and a window for your ID. It comes in Black, Navy, hi-vis orange or hi-vis yellow, in sizes S to 3XL, at £22.07 with your logo on the front (£19.87 with a trade account). For nights on the door there is also a Yoko padded security jacket in Black or Navy, S to 3XL, at £53.52 (£48.16 with a trade account).
Licences And ID, In Plain English
We print and embroider clothing, we aren't licensing advisers, so check the rules for your own team. The SIA's guidance says a licence is generally needed for door supervisors, security guards, CCTV operators and key holders, and licence holders working under a contract for services are required to display it. A vest with an ID window gives your team a tidy, consistent place to do that. Event stewards don't need a licence just to direct people to seats, toilets or first aid, but refusing entry or removing people does. The full details are on the SIA guidance page on GOV.UK.
Hi-Vis For Stewards And Car Parks
If your team is around traffic, queues or crowds in the dark, hi-vis does the talking. A hi-vis waistcoat is £7.43 with your logo (£6.69 with a trade account), a hi-vis polo is £22.79 (£20.52), and a Portwest hi-vis bomber jacket is £47.11 (£42.40). How visible your kit needs to be depends on your risk assessment and the venue, so check that first.
Guarding A Building Site?
If your team works on a site with rules about head protection, you can add a hard hat with your company name on it. It can't be embroidered or heat pressed because of its rigid shell, so we add your logo as a printed sticker applied cold. It is £19.45, or £17.50 with a trade account. More in our post on hard hats with your logo, and boots, gloves and glasses can go on the same order from our safety gear page.
Three Ready-Made Security Kits
If you'd rather not pick item by item, the Security page has three kits made from the same garments. Prices include a vinyl logo on the front of every item, and you choose colours and sizes when you order.
Door & Patrol Kit: 3 polos, a sweatshirt, a softshell jacket and a beanie for £87.23 (£78.51 with a trade account).
Hi-Vis Steward Kit: 2 hi-vis waistcoats, 2 hi-vis polos and a hi-vis bomber jacket for £107.57 (£96.81 with a trade account).
Security Vest & Jacket Kit: 2 security vests, 2 polos and a padded jacket for £118.97 (£107.07 with a trade account).
Want a different mix, or embroidery on some of it? Tell us what you need and we'll quote it.
Embroidered Or Printed?
Embroidery is the smart, long-lasting choice for polos that get washed a lot, and vinyl keeps costs down on vests, jackets and bold names. You can see our embroidered polos for Spritz Harbor Bar and Security on the Our Work page. Our guide to embroidery, vinyl or DTF explains the difference, and our care guide keeps it all looking sharp.
Order Before The End Of November
Digitising your logo is free on every embroidery order placed before the end of November 2026. From then it is £35, as we explain in our post on the digitising fee, so if you want embroidered polos for the winter season, now is the time. There is no minimum order and most jobs are ready in 48 hours. Volume discounts apply automatically: 5% off from 10 items, 10% off from 25 and 15% off from 50.

Questions
What should a security team wear?
Most teams settle on a polo or sweatshirt, a security vest or padded jacket on top, and a softshell or beanie for cold nights. Hi-vis suits stewards and car park teams. We can put your company name or logo on all of it.
Can you put my company logo on security vests and jackets?
Yes. Our kit prices include a vinyl logo on the front of every item. If you would like embroidery on polos or other garments instead, tell us and we will quote it.
Do event stewards need an SIA licence?
The SIA says no licence is needed for stewarding duties such as directing people to seats, toilets or first-aid points, but refusing entry or removing people does need one. We are a clothing printer, not licensing advisers, so check the SIA's guidance on GOV.UK for your own situation.
Can you embroider a hard hat?
No. A hard hat has a rigid shell, so it can't be embroidered or heat pressed. We add your logo as a printed sticker applied cold instead. Our hard hat is priced from £19.45, or £17.50 with a trade account.
Is there a minimum order, and does digitising cost anything?
There is no minimum order. Digitising your logo is free on every embroidery order placed before the end of November 2026; from then we charge £35 for digitising. Volume discounts apply automatically: 5% off from 10 items, 10% off from 25 and 15% off from 50.
Can I add new staff to my order later?
Yes. We keep your logo files on file at no charge, so matching kit for a new starter or a seasonal team is quick to arrange.
