Prioritise clear identification

Volunteer jackets should make members easy to identify at events. Define the main colour, contrast colour and logo placement so the design remains recognisable at a distance.

Choose function for the activity

For long outdoor duties, compare wind protection, water repellency, weight and movement. The best option depends on the event environment and expected wear time.

Confirm sizes early

Collect sizing information early and leave a small buffer for new members. Standard lead time is 3–15 working days, so a fixed event date should be planned around artwork and size confirmation.
