Description
The Big Accessories APR53 is a 30-inch full-length bib apron in 65/35 polyester/cotton twill with two front patch pockets, an adjustable neck strap, and waist ties. The two pockets hold pens, order pads, and small tools, and the 30-inch length covers from chest to below the knee for full front protection. Kitchen staff, BBQ teams, craft workshops, brewery tasting rooms, and promotional cooking events use the APR53 as a durable decoratable blank that resists stains and wrinkles through commercial laundering cycles.
Screen printing is the primary decoration method. The 65/35 poly/cotton twill holds plastisol ink on the flat bib panel for restaurant logos and event branding, though poly-block or low-bleed ink is recommended to prevent dye migration from the polyester content. DTF transfers bond to the poly/cotton face for full-color artwork. Embroidery works on the upper bib area with cut-away backing for chef names, monograms, and restaurant branding. Heat transfer vinyl for individual names on small-run hospitality orders.
