Medical Lab Coats Pricing and Costs

Prepare your budget to absorb the costs of medical lab coats for your staff

Medical lab coats add a sense of professionalism to medical facilities. Most of these lab coats are made of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, which makes these the most inexpensive. Other fabrics, including a special fluid resistant blend, will be more expensive.

When preparing your budget to absorb the cost of medical lab coats, you must consider the type, style and color of the lab coats. Consider the following suggestions to help you gauge medical lab coats pricing and costs:

1. Consider buying men’s medical lab coats.

2. Choose women's lab coats for a tailored look for any woman.

3. Save money by purchasing unisex medical lab coats.

 

Price men's medical lab coats

Men's medical lab coats are made slightly longer than women's lab coats with wider shoulders. If you want people in your facility to have a tailored look, these coats are ideal for the males on your staff. You can expect to pay higher prices (often $5 to $10 per coat) for big and tall lab coats.
Try: Lab Coats Unlimited offers men's lab coats, including a long sleeve white lab coat and consultation coats, for under $40. Add $5 to $25 per coat if you want embroidered lab coats. LabCoatsUSA.com sells a varied selection of discount lab coats. Prices for most of the men's lab coats, including anti-static are under $35.

Order women's lab coats

Women's lab coats are made to accommodate a woman's curves. This style of lab coat is usually based on a woman's dress size for long coats or blouse size for waist length coats. When you order ladies lab coats, expect to pay more for maternity and plus sizes. These often add up to $15 to the price of each coat.
Try: AllHeart sells brand name women’s lab coats. Prices vary depending on the brand name and style you choose. Lab coat embroidery adds about $5 per line to each lab coat. Baby Phat lab coats start at around $25, while prices start at around $15 for Dickies lab coats. Free shipping is offered on qualifying orders. Escrubz.com sells medical lab coats for women. Prices range from $18 to $25.

Consider unisex medical lab coats

Unisex medical lab coats are ideal for facilities that don't have personalized lab coats. These can save your business money because you won't have to purchase a brand new lab coat each time a new staff member begins work. Instead, you can have a former employee's lab coat cleaned and hand it over to the new employee. Should you opt to do this, make sure that you order a varied selection of sizes to accommodate any staff member.
Try: Advance Healthcare Shop sells unisex medical lab coats. Prices start at around $15 for these quality lab coats. This company even offers children's lab coats, which can be used for events like 'Take your child to work' days. White Swan offers unisex medical lab coats, including fluid resistant. You can expect to pay around $25 for most coats; however, fluid resistant coats are around $45 to $50.
