Card Factory

Following a wearer trial, the rollout of their new and bespoke uniform took place in April 2022, creating a consistent approach for all colleagues and stores. Colleagues were extremely happy with the new look.

Card Factory was looking for a new uniform that would showcase its brand, using key elements of the colour palette and logo, whilst being comfortable and well-fitting for colleagues working in a busy retail environment.

Murray carried out a comprehensive wearer trial as part of our Fully Managed Service, which allowed us to gather feedback and apply any amends to ensure a perfect uniform fit and style for the business. The client was extremely happy that the final uniform matched what was delivered during the wearer trial.

Murray delivered a uniform with bespoke detailing that offered great quality and fit. For example, we worked with the business to provide a new innovative design for the retail jacket.

We also delivered a menopause-friendly T-shirt that is breathable and allows for stretch to ensure colleagues are comfortable.

In discussion with the colleagues in the wearer trial, we also added a dropped hem to both garments to ensure the fit was accommodating when colleagues were stretching/reaching during replenishment tasks.

Card Factory colleagues were passionate about ensuring that the old uniform wasn’t sent to landfill. We worked with the Card Factory project team to implement a multi-recycling unit scheme during the new uniform rollout, so 100% of the old uniform could be returned, recycled and repurposed.
