Start with the intended use
Running, basketball, football, school activities, brand promotions and corporate events call for different fabrics, cuts, sleeve lengths and artwork approaches.
Choose fit and features together
Quick-dry tees suit active events; V-neck or colour-block jerseys suit teams; vests, long sleeves and hooded layers can serve different sports and seasons.
- Consider quick-dry, breathable, stretch or UV-protective fabrics
- Match the neckline, sleeve and silhouette to the activity
- Reserve space for a logo, team name, sponsor or player number
- Confirm colours and artwork before production
Confirm artwork and production details
Custom sportswear orders generally start from 30 pieces. Timing depends on the garment, decoration method, artwork complexity and quantity, so share clear artwork, a size breakdown and your required date early.
