Break Free from Costly FR & Workwear Contracts

For many companies, flame-resistant (FR) uniform rental programs from providers start out looking convenient. You get consistent deliveries, laundry service, and “easy management.”

But over time, the true costs show up: hidden fees, long-term contracts, missing garments, and poor quality control that drain your budget and frustrate your crews.

At Novarlo, we specialize in helping companies transition away from expensive rental contracts and take back control of their safety programs while staying compliant with OSHA 1910.269 and NFPA 70E.

Here’s how we help you reduce exit costs, minimize downtime, and move toward ownership-based FR protection that actually saves money.

Why Other FR Programs Fall Short

Companies in these programs share the same story:

Problem	Result
Long-term contracts with hidden fees	You’re locked in for years, often paying penalties to leave.
Poor quality or inconsistent sizing	Crews receive mismatched gear that fits differently every time.
Delayed repairs or missing garments	Employees go days without replacements — or pay out of pocket.
High “lost/damage” charges	You’re billed full retail for garments that disappear in laundry cycles.
Limited choice or customization	Workers get assigned generic gear that doesn’t reflect your brand or comfort preferences.
Cost creep over time	“Service fees” and “replacement fees” quietly inflate your annual spend.

These problems aren’t isolated they’re built into the rental model itself.
Every missed delivery, every garment swap, every replacement charge adds up.

That’s where Novarlo’s FR Freedom Transition Plan comes in.

How Novarlo Helps You Exit a Costly FR Program

You don’t have to absorb every penalty or wait five years for a contract to expire.
Novarlo provides flexible transition solutions that minimize cost, downtime, and compliance risk when moving away from other programs.

Phased Conversion Strategy
Instead of breaking your contract all at once, we help you transition departments or crews in stages.
As existing garments age out or reach the end of their wear life, those users switch to Novarlo-supplied FR apparel. This gradual rollout helps you avoid “early exit” penalties by letting portions of your contract naturally expire while introducing new gear where it’s most needed.
Result: Reduced buyout cost, smoother adoption, zero interruption.

Credit & Trade-In Incentives
To offset your remaining rental costs, Novarlo offers store credit, rebates, or discounts when you provide documentation of your current FR program.
These credits directly reduce your upfront spend and help balance out any exit fees. It’s a practical, low-stress way to transition without financial strain.
Result: Partial reimbursement for what you’ve already paid into the system.

Bulk Purchase Discounts
For companies with large crews, Novarlo extends bulk pricing and managed account terms helping absorb the initial hit of switching to a direct-purchase model.
If your buyout fees are modest (under 15% of your annual cost), bulk pricing can completely offset the loss. Plus, you’ll own your gear outright no more recurring laundry invoices or rental fees.
Result: Long-term savings and predictable budgeting.

Custom-Branded Garment Replacement
Worried about losing your embroidered or logoed uniforms?
No problem, Novarlo provides custom re-embroidered garments with your logo, department, or safety branding.
We replicate your current uniform look and ship directly from Madison Heights, Michigan, ensuring minimal downtime and zero confusion among your crews.
Result: A seamless supplier switch that keeps your brand identity consistent.

Consulting & Contract Review
Our safety specialists can review your contract to identify:
            Overbilling or laundry discrepancies
            Unreturned garment disputes
            Missing item documentation
            Hidden clauses that allow early termination

We’ll help you negotiate early release or partial credits where applicable.
You’ll walk away informed, empowered, and ready to move forward with a model that puts your team first.
