Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about customizing aprons with RB Advertising.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom aprons?
There is no strict minimum order quantity. We accommodate single customized sample pieces, small batch orders (5–20 pcs) for boutique cafes, and large corporate bulk runs (100–5,000+ pcs) for restaurant chains. Volume tier discounts automatically apply at 10, 50, 100, and 500+ pieces.
Can we personalize individual staff or chef names on each apron?
Yes! We frequently customize aprons with individual employee names, titles, or station designations (e.g. "Head Chef Marco", "Barista Ana") positioned neatly on the chest or pocket. You can supply your staff list in an Excel or CSV file.
Should I choose embroidery or DTF printing for our aprons?
Embroidery is ideal for solid 1-to-5 color corporate logos, chef monograms, and upscale restaurants because threaded stitching withstands high-heat commercial washing and never cracks. DTF printing is best for complex designs with gradients, multi-color illustrations, or photographic graphics on dark fabrics.
How do cross-back aprons compare to traditional neck-strap bib aprons?
Traditional neck-loop bib aprons exert downward weight on the back of the neck when pockets are loaded with tools and phones. Cross-back (X-back) aprons route the straps across both shoulders and criss-cross at the back, distributing weight evenly and completely eliminating neck tension during 8 to 12-hour shifts.
What is your standard turnaround time, and is rush production available?
Standard turnaround is 3 to 7 business days following digital mockup approval and payment deposit. For urgent events, trade expos, or restaurant grand openings, we offer expedited rush production (1 to 2 business days) for a modest rush surcharge.
Can I customize pocket placements, towel rings, and strap hardware?
Yes! Because we cut and assemble aprons in-house, you can specify custom pocket dimensions (e.g. tablet pockets, pen/thermometer slots, phone pouches), metal eyelets, antique brass hooks, and towel loops.
Are your apron fabrics machine washable and stain-resistant?
Yes. Our poly-cotton twill and heavy canvas fabrics are commercially pre-shrunk and treated for stain release. For aprons with genuine leather straps, we engineer detachable snap-button or clip-on systems so the fabric body can be machine-washed while preserving the leather.
How do you deliver orders across the Philippines?
We provide nationwide shipping via LBC, J&T Express, Shopee, and Lazada with full tracking. Local delivery is available in Tagum City, Davao City, and Cagayan de Oro. You can also pick up directly at any of our 5 branch locations.
What payment terms and methods do you accept?
We accept GCash, Maya, Bank Transfer (BDO, BPI), Cash, and major Credit Cards. Standard custom orders require a 50% downpayment to begin production, with the 50% balance settled upon completion before shipment. Corporate 30-day billing terms are available for accredited corporate accounts.
What Food & Hospitality Clients Say
