Approved by your nurses
Nothing goes into bulk until your team has worn the sample and agreed it works. That approved set then becomes the reference for every seam, pocket and colour in the full order.
Custom Nursing Uniforms Supplier
Request a quoteCustom nursing uniforms engineered for active shifts
A nurse can walk miles in a single shift, lifting, turning and bending at every bed, so a uniform that pulls across the back or rides up at the hip gets noticed fast. Benjima makes nursing uniforms for hospitals, care homes and staffing agencies, with the fabric, fit and pockets decided by you.
We look after the whole programme for you: patterns and size grading, fabric sourcing, sampling, bulk sewing, inspection and delivery to your wards or stores. One account manager stays with your order from the first enquiry to the final carton, and every choice that changes how the uniform looks or performs comes to you before anything is cut.
That matters because a uniform issued to hundreds of nurses is hard to change once it is out. A tunic that shrinks after a hot wash or a pocket that sags under scissors becomes everyone's daily irritation. We find those problems on the sample, while fixing them is still easy.
Custom nursing uniform samples tested before bulk sewing
Every nursing uniform order begins with a pre-production sample, usually ready in 7 to 10 business days. Give it to a few nurses, let them wear it through a real shift, put it through your laundry and listen to what they say about stretch, pockets and comfort before bulk.
The sample shows the real fabric, the true colour, the pocket layout and the fit in the sizes you pick. Once your team signs it off, it becomes the standard every bulk piece is measured against, so the tunics that reach your wards feel like the ones your nurses already approved.
Watch a nursing uniform move from fabric to ward
The video follows a nursing uniform order through our workshops: fabric inspection, pattern cutting, sewing the stretch panels and pockets, adding labels and piping, and the final check before each set is folded and bagged. It is the same route your order takes, with photos sent to you along the way so nothing is a guess.
Uniform decisions usually involve more than one person, from the ward manager to procurement and infection control. Share the video with them before you order and use it to agree on what matters most to your staff, whether that is the stretch in the fabric, the depth of the hip pockets or the colour of the trim.

Why hospitals order our custom nursing uniforms
Samples your nurses can wear first, fabric that survives the hospital laundry, and one manager per order.
Made for laundering
Fabrics are chosen to handle hot commercial washing without pilling, fading or twisting at the seams, so uniforms still look neat and professional after months of long shifts and repeated washing.
Small trials before big rollouts
Orders start from 50 sets per style, which lets you run a fit trial on one ward before rolling the uniform out across the whole hospital or every site in your group.
Kitted and labelled for wards
Finished uniforms can be sorted by ward or by person and packed in name-labelled bags, so managers can hand them out without opening cartons and counting sizes on the floor. Labels can also carry ward codes or staff numbers.
Built for a year of hospital laundry
A nursing uniform proves itself after months of shifts and hot washes, not on the day it arrives. That is why fabric is tested on the sample for shrinkage, colour fastness and pilling where arms rub the body, so problems show up before bulk.
Pocket corners are bar tacked, pocket bags are double stitched, and the fluid-resistant finish still lets the fabric breathe through a long shift. The aim is a uniform your nurses can forget they are even wearing.

Nursing uniforms for every ward role
Choose the styles your teams need. Each one can carry your colours, trims, labels and department badges on request.
Stretch scrub sets
Tops and trousers with four-way stretch for nurses who bend, lift and walk all shift.
Concealed-zip tunics
A classic hospital tunic with a hidden zip front, contrast collar trim and two hip pockets for everyday ward work.
Ward sister
A sharper tunic with deep contrast piping, epaulette loops and a reinforced badge tab for senior staff.
Maternity
Pleated tunics with adjustable side tabs, so expecting nurses stay comfortable as their shape changes.
Paediatric prints
Soft tops with cheerful printed motifs that help children feel calmer on the ward.
Cardigans
Knit button-front cardigans that resist pilling and keep night-shift nurses warm between rounds on cold wards.
Your hospital's colours, rank trims and labels throughout
A patient should be able to tell who is caring for them at a glance. We can add colour-coded piping at the neck and sleeves to show seniority, department badges by embroidery or heat transfer, and woven neck labels with your hospital or agency name, so roles are clear on a busy ward.
If you already have colour codes, we match them closely and keep tunics, trousers and jackets consistent across every reorder. If this is a new programme, we can help you set out a simple scheme. Every label, badge and trim is checked on the sample alongside the fabric and fit.
Most hospitals start with one core uniform and add specialist styles once the first rollout has settled. Your patterns, colours and label artwork stay on file, so issuing uniforms to new starters or reordering a busy size takes a message rather than another round of sampling.
How do you choose nursing uniforms your staff will like?
The right nursing uniform is the one your nurses stop noticing halfway through a shift. Before you order, settle three things: the fabric and how it washes, the fit across your team, and the pockets and details nurses use every hour. Get those right first.
Fabric that handles shifts
Four-way stretch blends move with the body when nurses lift or crouch, while lighter woven fabrics feel crisp and cool on warmer wards. Whatever you choose should survive hot commercial laundry at up to 75°C without shrinking or pilling, because most uniforms are washed after almost every shift.
- Choose stretch scrub sets for wards where nurses lift and move patients.
- Choose crisp tunics for outpatient clinics and front-of-house roles.
- Ask for a fluid-resistant finish if splashes are part of daily work.
Fit for everyone
Your nurses come in every shape, so offer a contoured and a relaxed fit in the same design. Sizes run from XS to 5XL with petite and tall lengths, all graded from one approved pattern, so every size feels consistent.
Ask your nurses what annoys them about their current uniform. Their answers usually write the specification for you.
Pockets that work
Nurses carry scissors, penlights, phones and notes all day, and the wrong pocket either sags or digs in. Reinforced scissor holsters, penlight sleeves, deep hip pockets and a zip phone pocket can all be added. Your sample shows exactly where each one sits, so you can move it before bulk.

Comfort your nurses feel by hour twelve
A uniform is judged by how it feels late in a shift. These are the four things we check on every nursing order.
Stretch where you bend
Four-way stretch fabrics and side vents give room at the shoulders and hips, so lifting and crouching never feel restricted.
Fresher through a long shift
An antimicrobial treatment helps limit odour building up in the fabric, so the uniform still feels clean late into the day.
Breathes under pressure
Moisture-wicking knits move sweat away from the skin while the fluid-resistant finish keeps splashes from soaking through.
Holds its shape
Hot-wash safe fibres keep colour, size and seams in place, so uniforms look tidy months after issue.

One supplier for tunics, scrubs, trousers and layers, so colours, fits and labels match across every ward and site.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom nursing uniforms?
Our minimum is 50 sets per style, which is low enough to run a fit trial on one ward before you commit to the whole hospital. Sizes from XS to 5XL can be mixed within that order, so a small first batch can still cover your full team. Send us your roles and quantities and we will confirm the exact numbers for your styles.
Can our nurses trial samples before we order?
Yes. Pre-production samples are usually ready within 7 to 10 business days. Your nurses can wear them through real shifts and put them through your laundry, then tell us what to change before bulk production begins. Any change is made on a new sample first.
Which fabrics work best for long 12-hour nursing shifts?
Most teams prefer four-way stretch blends or moisture-wicking twills. They move with the body, breathe well and handle hot hospital laundry. We send swatches and explain how each option affects feel, durability and price before you decide.
How long does bulk production take for nursing uniforms?
Bulk orders take 18 to 25 business days after you approve the sample. You get dates for each stage with your quote and photos as work moves along. If you need regular top-ups, staggered deliveries can be planned in advance.
Can you match our hospital's existing colour codes?
Yes. Send us your colour references and we match them on the sample, so you can check them in your own lighting. Once approved, the same colours are used for tunics, trousers and jackets, which keeps your teams consistent across every reorder and every site you supply.
Can you add rank piping and department badges?
Yes. Colour-coded piping, embroidered or heat-transfer badges, woven labels and barcode hang tags can all be added. Each one is shown on the sample first, so you can check placement and colour before bulk.
How do you check quality on nursing uniforms?
Garments are checked to AQL 2.5, with in-line checks during cutting, sewing and pressing and a final audit before packing. We look at seam strength, colour fastness, pocket reinforcement and measurements, so problems are caught at the station where they happen rather than after your order has shipped.
How do you ship bulk orders to other countries?
We ship by express air or ocean freight, depending on your timing and budget. Door-to-door delivery with duties paid is available, and we prepare the import paperwork your customs agent needs, so the uniforms arrive without extra work on your side.
