There’s a moment that happens in every well-run café, restaurant, or hotel — a guest walks through the door, takes in the space, and within seconds forms an impression that will colour their entire experience.

The lighting, the décor, the smell of something good from the kitchen… and the staff. How your team presents themselves says everything about the kind of establishment you run.

That’s something we think about a lot here at Custom Embroidery. And when it comes to the hospitality industry, one of the most underrated pieces of the uniform puzzle is the humble apron. Custom Embroidery specialises in branded hospitality and catering uniforms across Ireland.

An apron is more than just protective workwear. In a hospitality setting, it’s a statement. It tells your guests that the person serving them takes pride in what they do. A clean, well-fitted, branded apron signals professionalism without saying a word.

Whether you’re running a boutique hotel breakfast service, a busy gastropub, a coffee shop on the high street, or a catering team working events — the right apron pulls the whole look together.

Today we are going to do a deep dive into our range of coloured bib aprons. The Premier brand are market leaders in coloured aprons as they carry a huge range of colours that will complement any colour scheme.

The Premier Colours Bib Apron

The Premier Colours bib apron comes with a pocket or without. A bib apron with a pocket – 50 colours (PR154) and without a pocket (PR150) in 60 colours. It offers full front coverage, a clean silhouette, and the kind of durability that holds up through long shifts and wash after wash. Whether your team is front-of-house or behind the bar, this bib apron keeps everyone looking sharp and professional all day.

Let’s Take a Look at the Various Colour Options

It comes in a fantastic range of colours, so whether you’re working with a neutral palette, a bold brand colour, or something that complements your interior design, there’s an option that fits. Think deep navy for a sophisticated bistro feel, crisp white for a fine dining aesthetic, or forest green to bring warmth to a café setting. The possibilities are genuinely exciting.

Add Your Logo — Make It Yours

This is where the magic really happens. Every apron we supply can be professionally embroidered with your logo, business name, or crest. Embroidery is durable, it looks premium, and it elevates even a simple apron into something that genuinely represents your brand.

We work with you to get the placement and sizing just right — whether that’s a small chest logo for a subtle touch, or something bolder that makes a real statement.

Our minimum order is 20 items, which makes it accessible for small teams as well as larger operations. And if you’re not sure where to start, get a quick quote and we’ll walk you through the options.

A Word on Colour

Colour is one of those things that seems like a small decision but makes a huge difference in practice. Your apron colour should:

• Complement your interior — think about the walls, furniture, and overall feel of your space
• Align with your brand identity — if your logo uses specific colours, carry them through to the uniform
• Be practical — lighter colours look stunning but may require more frequent laundering; darker tones are more forgiving on a busy shift

Our range covers everything from classic black and white to earthy tones, deep jewel colours, and more — so there’s genuinely something for every kind of venue.

Pair It Up

A great apron deserves a great base layer. We always recommend pairing your aprons with the Premier PR200 and PR300 poplin shirts and blouses for a truly cohesive uniform, or the Premier polo shirt.
