Custom branding for performance fabrics and high-wear gear

Sportswear decoration is its own discipline. Wrong method on wrong fabric and you'll be replacing kits mid-season.

Full-colour sublimation. The gold standard for cut-and-sew jerseys, shorts, socks and training tops. Dye is fused into the fabric, so there's no peel, no crack, no fade. Lets you run multiple sponsor logos and complex club designs in full colour at no per-colour cost.

Embroidery. The right call for performance polos, caps, beanies, hoodies and team jackets. Survives washing, projects a quality club image.

Heat transfer (industrial grade). Use HD or sportswear-grade transfers on stock performance fabrics where sublimation isn't possible. Avoid cheap vinyl, it cracks within weeks on stretchy fabrics.

Laser engraving and pad print. Permanent decoration for stainless drink bottles, shaker bottles and metal medals. Pad print suits plastic bottles, mugs and event giveaways.

Our recommendation: sublimation for cut-and-sew team kits (no logo limits, longest life), embroidery for polos and caps, laser for drinkware. Match the method to how the item gets used and washed.

Team kit orders, season timing and bulk supply

Sport and fitness buyers usually order in three modes:

Custom team kit rollouts. Fully cut-and-sew sublimated kits with your club design and sponsor logos. Offshore production at 4–8 weeks plus shipping. Plan against your season start date. Order at least 10 weeks before round one to avoid express freight.

Branded stock items. Locally stocked drinkware, apparel, caps and accessories in 7–14 working days. Suits gym retail merch, event giveaways, training-shirt top-ups and ad-hoc orders.

Ongoing season resupply. New player kits, replacements for damaged or lost items, junior development pack reorders. Artwork files held and pricing locked, so club registrars and team managers can reorder in minutes.

Pricing scales with quantity. No hidden setup or freight fees. Volume discounts kick in early on team kit orders, sponsor-paid rollouts and multi-team association orders.
