Uniform Top-Ups for New Staff After a Bulk Order: Which Track Applies Below 50?
A top-up for new staff on an existing uniform style goes on MTM from 1 when it is fewer than 50 pieces, measured per person against the sealed style, and on bulk from 50 when 50 or more pieces in that style are re-ordered in graded sizes. The other choice is to hold spare sizes from the original run, which is the safety stock approach: stock on the shelf against uncertain demand.

Which top-up route fits which situation?
- Fewer than 50 new staff: MTM from 1 — Per-person measurements against the sealed style
- 50+ pieces in one style: Bulk from 50 per style — Graded size breakdown, same sealed sample
- Spare sizes held from the first run: Safety stock (your shelf) — Ordered inside the original bulk
- Clocks (both tracks): Sample 7–14 · production 14–21 — A repeat of a sealed style may skip the sample
What must stay identical between the bulk run and a top-up?
- Cloth code (and ask about the dye lot in writing if the original lot is no longer on the shelf)
- Construction: fused / half canvas / full canvas
- Your label, trims and button code
- The sealed sample reference from the original bulk
Does a top-up start a new clock?
Yes. Each top-up PO has its own lock. A repeat of an already sealed style may skip the sample step and go to production 14–21 days after lock; a changed style needs a sample, 7–14 days. Production days are not delivery days.
"Under 50 pieces in a style goes on MTM from 1, measured per person against the sealed style; 50 or more stays on bulk from 50. Both run sample 7–14 and production 14–21. Est. 2009."
