Planning your school uniforms order for Groningen
A school uniforms order for Groningen should be planned backwards from the selling season. Four seasons; peaks include Sinterklaas, Christmas, summer sales and festivals such as Keti Koti. For school uniforms specifically, orders are placed 4–5 months before term starts; reorders follow before each term. Our lead time is 45–70 days including shade approval; 30 days on repeat orders, plus sea transit of about 20–30 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of school uniforms in Groningen include education authorities and tender suppliers, private schools and chains, uniform retailers and donor and NGO programmes. In Groningen, they usually order 1,000–3,000 pieces per item per school or tender; small schools can be grouped in one order and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Groningen
Colder months in Netherlands reward heavier weights and blends. For school uniforms we propose Poly-cotton drill and twill 180–240 GSM for the core range and acrylic knit for sweaters, cotton pique for PE polos for the cold-weather edit.
Sizes: Ages 4–18 or height-based chart in centimetres; adult sizes for staff uniforms. Colours: School shades matched by lab dip and shade-card approval; stripes and checks woven to design.
