With Halloween just around the corner, it’s high time to start thinking about costume and party ideas! PK Safety receives quite a bit of business from Halloween party-goers during this time of the year, and we’re always amazed by the creative uses people find for our products. In this post, we’ll review a handful of items that have been popular in the past.
Construction worker costumes seem to be a hit because they’re comfortable and can be put together right out of the box. Start with a work shirt and jeans, then pick your favorite model from our wide selection of safety vests. Top it off with the hard hat of your choice and a pair of safety boots and you’ll wind up with the most authentic costume at the party with minimal fuss.
If you’re a little more crafty and a little less rushed, a DuPont 1414 Tyvek Coverall Suit is the only way to go. Though these white plastic jumpsuits can get warm, their built-in hoods and gray booties make them ideal for astronaut costumes. Creative customers have also repurposed this suit into a Hazmat crew costume, and we’re sure that there are many other possibilities.
If you should decide to assemble a Hazmat suit or are looking for a novel Halloween party decoration, be sure to have a look at our caution and biohazard tapes. This stuff can be incorporated into everything from zombie costumes to punch table centerpieces. We also enjoy using it around the office.
PK Safety wishes you a safe and happy Halloween! Be sure to drop us a line if you use any of these ideas or come up with new ones!

In the weeks leading up to Halloween, we received lots of orders for DuPont 1414 Tyvek Coverall Suits. These make great costumes for everything from space explorers to hazmat clean up crews. Over the years we have seen some really creative uses! With all of these orders have come many questions about sizing.
The size chart is fairly straightforward, just find your height and your weight, and where the two intersect will be your size. It is important to keep in mind that if you are using Tyvek suits for industrial purposes you may want a little extra breathing room for moving around. For the purposes of a costume, you may want them to be a little more form fitting.
When discussing the sizing of Tyvek suits for the purposes of Halloween costumes, it is important to note that DuPont only makes adult sizes. They do not come in kid’s sizes and the smallest size made is a small. That being said, we have had customers order the DuPont Standard 1412 Tyvek Coverall Suits to make kid’s space suit costumes. This typically requires quite a bit of modification like cutting the arms and legs shorter and duct taping some of the extra material together. It is possible, just know that they are not made for kids.
When you receive your Tyvek suit order, you’ll want to check the size. To do so, unzip the suit. Sewn into the seem will be a tag with the size printed on it. This way you know that you have the right size! Usually our customers find that their suit fits well if they have ordered from the sizing chart.
If you have any further questions about sizing, feel free to contact us and ask! I hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween!
