Dear All,
I am trying to find a source for disposable yellow boiler suits. They do not need to be 'hi viz'.
I need approx. 1000 to begin with.

Any pointers/contacts/manufacturers greatly appreciated.
Regards
Andy

We are a confectionery manufacturer and colour code all equipment etc. by production area. In this instance, yellow represents the 'nut contaminated' production facility. We are precious about our 'nut free' status and segregate everything. More info at www.kinnerton.com if interested.

We already use 2 piece yellow cotton suits, and I am looking at options as the cotton suits get laundered every shift.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Regards
Andy

Hi Andrew

Ever thought of buying white boiler suits and getting them dyed. We just carried out a similar process with white laboratory coats, we had our laundry company dye several red so we could use them to identify Visitors.

just give them to my wife... she'll make sure they come out of the wash a different colour... ;-)

I don't think disposable overalls will wash very well though, and disposable is what the original poster wanted.

You may have already done this, but have you spoken to your current supplier ?

As for contacts, none specific, but I would contact the likes of Microgard or Dupont for example to see if they could be of assistance.

Arco have a range of disposable items that are colour coded, however they are disposable plastic apron and I am assuming that you are after a full garment. They also sell an item that is labelled as a food industry coat with trim (yellow is just one of the colours) by a company called work king
