Customization & Care

Yes. Prior to producing any custom order, Spectrum will produce a virtual proof for your approval. Only after you have approved the placement, size, and colors of your custom imprint will Spectrum begin producing your order. Once virtual proofs have been approved and order production begins, Spectrum cannot alter your order. 

Set up fee and artwork fee represent two distinct costs involved in custom order production. Set up fee is the unavoidable cost associated with the time and material required to prepare a machine for production of your logo. Artwork fee is associated with vectorizing your logo so it may be used for heat transfer, screen print, UV print, or Laser engraving. You may avoid artwork charges by providing your own vectorized file.  

Digitization is the process of converting your logo to DST form, a file readable by embroidery machines. You may avoid digitization fees by providing your own DST. Please note, DST quality can vary and greatly affects embroidery quality and therefore Spectrum cannot be responsible for the integrity or quality of any customer-provided DST or for final products using customer-provided DST. Spectrum may suggest re-digitizing your provided DST in the interest of a high quality final product. 

What is the recommended care and maintenance for Spectrum scrubs?

Washing instructions are provided on the label and or hangtag for each style of Spectrum scrubs. We recommend to pre-wash before wearing for first time. To keep scrubs looking vibrant and extend the life of the fabric, we also recommend to machine-wash on a gentle cycle, using cold/cool water temp and with other like colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed. To dry, use settings of low to medium heat and remove promptly. A cool iron can be used when desired.

Spectrum UltraSmart Lab Coats should be washed in accordance with the guidelines for the environment in which they are being worn. For general use and where cleaning protocols are not required, Spectrum recommends dry cleaning or home washing with like colors in warm water, no bleach. Dry on medium heat or line dry naturally and iron as needed on medium settings to maintain a crisp, professional look.

Silvadur™ Antimicrobial Finish is a microbial control technology that provides long-lasting freshness and reliable protection against unwanted bacteria that can cause unpleasant odors, decay and discoloration in fabrics. Silvador™ combines the efficacy and safety of silver with an innovative polymeric delivery system that delivers silver ions onto fabric surfaces in a controlled manner when undesirable bacteria is present and remains on the fabric through 50 washings or more. This antimicrobial finish is available on Spectrum’s UltraSmart Lab Coats and our WYND scrub line.

At Spectrum, we use Madeira Polyneon 100% polyester thread, which is extremely durable and maintains vibrant color wash-after-wash, making it the ideal thread for embroidery on scrubs and other uniforms. We recommend turning decorated scrubs inside out during the wash and dry process to further extend the lifetime of both the scrubs and any decoration.
