Profitable.
Perm-A-Pleat uniform shops pay a financial return to the school each month based on that store’s gross turnover
No Cost Transition.
Perm-A-Pleat makes sure the transition to an outsourced uniform shop is a hassle-free and cost-free exercise ...and not just from a financial point of view.

Better Quality, Better Systems, Better Stocked.
Perm-A-Pleat garments are designed to withstand the punishment dished out by the toughest customers of all – kids. Our garments are individually inspected for quality before leaving our National Distribution Centre.
