02

Approve mockup & swatch

We send a digital mockup, a quotation against the published tiers and a lab dip for your colour.

03

Confirm and deposit

Payment terms are stated on the quotation. Production is scheduled once the deposit is received.

04

Produce, check, dispatch

Cutting, sewing, decoration and packing in-house. Bulk is checked against your signed swatch under D65 light.

What counts as artwork approval

Production time is quoted from the moment you approve the digital mockup and the colour standard, not from the first message. That distinction protects both sides: it means a late artwork change does not silently eat into the production window, and it means we cannot blame an unspecified delay on you.

Send a vector file if you have one. If you only have a photograph of a badge, send it anyway — we will tell you whether we can redraw it cleanly or whether a woven badge is the better route. A crest with small text or gradients often needs that conversation before a sample is cut.

The colour standard, step by step

First we make a lab dip for your colour on the actual fabric. You sign one card; we keep one. On the card we write the Pantone reference, the fabric code, the dye lot, the date and your account name. Cotton and polyester get separate cards even for the same colour reference, because they do not take dye identically.

Before bulk ships, finished garments are compared with that card in a D65 light box. Grey scale 4 or better is the acceptance threshold; anything below it goes back for re-dyeing. Where a spectrophotometer is in use we work to delta E CMC(2:1) ≤ 1.0, and we tell you which method applies to your order rather than quoting a number we cannot measure.

The card is filed under your account and colour code for 24 months. When a new starter joins or a club gains a member, the top-up starts from that card, not from somebody's memory or an old chat thread.

What we will not promise: a reorder from an unchanged dye lot, a perfect Pantone match, or an invisible colour difference. A 20-piece top-up means a new dye lot, and dyeing, finishing and washing all move colour. We promise a recorded standard, a measured check and a re-dye when the standard is not met.

Sizes and labels

Our men's / unisex blocks grade S–5XL, the women's block XS–3XL and youth 4XS–M (120–160 cm). We can replace Asia-graded labels with US or EU size labels on request. A downloadable size-chart PDF is being prepared; until it is ready we send the measurement sheet for the exact style with your quote.

Do not assume a letter size is transferable between grading systems. An Asia 5XL and a US 5XL are not the same garment. Ask for measurements before a large rollout.

Order questions

What is the real minimum?

5 pieces for custom production, 2 pieces for undecorated stock blanks. Sampling at 1–4 pieces is a normal first step, priced separately.

Ask us on WhatsApp
How long does production take?

We quote production from artwork approval. The 10–15 day figure used across this site is a planning number that still needs to be confirmed against current capacity before launch — ask us for a firm date against your quantity.

Ask us on WhatsApp
Do I have to pay a deposit?

Payment terms are confirmed on the quotation, not on the website. Ask us and we will state the deposit, balance and accepted methods in writing.

Ask us on WhatsApp
What does DDP mean on your site?

Delivered duty paid — but the shipping term, carrier and paperwork depend on destination and volume. We quote it per order rather than publishing a blanket promise. Please confirm the Incoterm you need before a PO is issued.
