What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Our standard MOQ starts from just 30 pieces per design, making us one of the most flexible B2B apparel manufacturers for startups, seasonal test runs, team kits, and small-batch private label launches. Larger orders benefit from volume pricing.

Do you offer samples before bulk production?

Yes, we provide pre-production samples for your approval. Sample development typically takes 5–7 working days. We ship samples internationally so you can verify fabric, fit, stitching, print quality, and finishing before committing to bulk.

Can I add my own logo, labels and branding?

Absolutely. We offer full private label and custom branding services including embroidered logos, screen-printed graphics, woven labels, printed neck labels, hang tags, barcodes, and custom packaging — everything branded to your identity.

Do you provide private label manufacturing?

Yes, private label is one of our core services. We handle the entire process — fabric sourcing, pattern making, sampling, bulk production, labeling, packaging, and worldwide shipping — all under your brand name with no Rekhi branding on any product.

How long does production take?

Standard production timeline is approximately 7 working days from sample approval, though this varies by order complexity, quantity, and embellishment requirements. Rush orders can be accommodated — please discuss your timeline with our team.

What fabrics and materials do you work with?

We work with a comprehensive range: cotton, polyester, cotton blends, French terry, fleece, mesh, dry-fit, spandex blends, pique, and custom fabrics. Our sourcing team can procure specific materials to match your existing product line.

What embellishment and printing techniques do you offer?

We offer 30+ in-house techniques including traditional embroidery, 3D puff, chenille, woven patches, sublimation, screen printing, DTF, DTG, puff print, crackled ink, metallic foil, holographic transfers, laser etching, embossing, rhinestones, and more.

How do you ensure quality control?

Our 6-stage QC process covers fabric inspection, cutting inspection, in-line QC checks, 100% final garment inspection, packing verification, and shipment approval. Every piece is checked before it leaves our facility.

Do you ship worldwide? What are the shipping options?

Yes, we ship worldwide via air freight, sea freight (FCL/LCL), and international courier services (DHL, FedEx, UPS). We handle all export documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin.

What payment terms do you accept?

We accept bank transfers (TT), letters of credit (LC) for larger orders, and other negotiated payment terms. A 50% advance is typical to initiate production, with the balance due before shipment. We are flexible and can discuss terms.

Can you match a specific color or replicate an existing product?

Yes, we offer color matching services using Pantone references or physical swatches. We can also reverse-engineer existing garments — just send us a sample and we will match the fabric, fit, stitching, and finishing details.

Do you provide design and tech pack assistance?

Yes, our in-house design team can help create or refine your tech packs. If you have rough sketches, reference images, or measurements, we can develop complete technical specifications for sampling and production.

Printing Methods

Printing Methods for Sportswear

Decoration turns a blank garment into a branded product. Choosing the wrong printing or marking method creates cracked logos, stiff handfeel, colour fade, or production delays that no stitching quality can hide. This guide compares common sportswear decoration approaches for B2B buyers working with Rekhi Sports in Sialkot. Since 2003 we have coordinated screen print, heat transfer, embroidery, and related methods across teamwear, activewear, streetwear, and corporate apparel programmes.

Start with end use and wash expectations, then choose method. Do not choose method only because a competitor’s photo looks sharp online. Durability on field kits differs from lifestyle hoodies and from corporate polos that face industrial laundry.

Screen printing

Screen printing remains widely used for solid logos, numbers, and multi-colour designs within practical colour counts. It can deliver strong opacity on suitable fabrics when separations and ink systems are correct. Setup involves screens and colour matching; small one-off designs may cost more per unit than larger runs. Complex gradients and photographic detail are usually better handled by other processes.

Ask about ink type relative to fabric — plastisol and water-based systems behave differently — and about stretch on performance knits. Placement on seams or highly curved panels needs pattern awareness. Approve a decorated sample before bulk when brand colour is critical.

Best for — solid logos, numbers, team marks on suitable fabrics.
Watch for — colour count, stretch inks, wash durability.
Brief needs — vector artwork, PMS or approved colour refs, placement.

Heat transfer and related film methods

Heat transfer and film-based markings are common for names, numbers, and some logos when flexibility and turnaround matter. Quality depends on film grade, press settings, and fabric suitability. Cheap transfers that peel after wash destroy brand trust. Specify wash expectations and request durability notes for your garment type.

Multi-colour transfers and specialty finishes exist, but each adds process control needs. Sample the exact transfer system you intend for bulk. Changing supplier mid-programme without a new seal invites variation.

Embroidery

Embroidery delivers a premium raised mark popular on corporate apparel, outerwear, and some lifestyle pieces. Stitch density, backing, and fabric stability determine whether the logo looks clean or puckers. Soft light knits need careful digitising. Large coverage areas can stiffen a garment. Thread colour matching should use approved references.

Digitising is part of the technical work. Provide clean artwork and size guidelines. Extremely fine detail may not survive needle translation. Ask for a sew-out sample before bulk when the logo is intricate.

Choosing among methods — a practical checklist

List garment fabric and GSM, logo size and colour count, stretch requirement, wash cycle expectations, and whether the mark sits on a match jersey, training layer, or corporate shirt. Budget and MOQ interact with setup. A method that looks cheap per unit can become expensive if it fails wash tests and forces remakes.

Some programmes mix methods — embroidered crest with printed numbers, for example. Mixed methods need a single sealed sample that shows all decorations together. Approving print and embroidery on separate orphan samples can hide interaction problems.

Artwork discipline

Send vector files when possible for logos. Avoid low-resolution screenshots. State print size in centimetres or inches and placement from landmarks (centre chest, left chest, sleeve). Note keep-clear zones near seams and zippers. For numbers and player names, provide fonts or outline files and numbering rules.

Colour should reference Pantone or sealed physical standards when brand accuracy matters. Screen colours on phones are not production standards. Include that warning in your internal briefing so marketing teams do not approve from uncalibrated displays alone.

Factory planning and next steps

Decoration queues affect lead time. Embroidery, screen, and transfer calendars differ. Share ship windows early so decoration is planned inside the production sequence, not bolted on at the end. Related guides cover sublimation for all-over print programmes, fabric compatibility, and tech pack contents.

When you request a quote from Rekhi Sports, name preferred decoration method or ask for a recommendation against your fabric and wash needs. Attach artwork and placement notes. We will respond with sampling guidance that treats decoration as manufacturing work — verified on sample, controlled in bulk, and checked before packing.

Premium branded apparel is the product of matched fabric, method, artwork, and wash reality. Choose printing methods with that discipline, seal what you approve, and reorder against the same standard. That is how logos survive seasons instead of complaints.

Wash testing and brand risk

Decoration failures often appear after the first real wash cycles in your market, not under a gentle showroom wipe. State wash expectations in the RFQ: home laundry, industrial laundry for corporate wear, or field kit turnaround. Request that critical logos be verified on the actual fabric you intend to seal. A beautiful print on a scrap swatch that is not your bulk quality is weak evidence.

Build a simple internal rule: no bulk deposit against undecorated bodies when the brand value sits in the mark. Exceptions exist for blank replenishment programmes, but most custom sportswear and corporate apparel live or die on logo integrity. Schedule decoration sampling inside the critical path instead of treating it as a final flourish.

If you change ink system, transfer film, thread, or digitising house mid-programme, treat it as a new confirmation. Silent substitutions create season-to-season drift that customers notice even when your PO number looks continuous. Rekhi Sports prefers explicit change control because export remakes destroy margin for everyone involved.

Use related guides on sublimation and fabric types when all-over graphics or polyester performance knits dominate your line. Method choice and material choice are one decision pair, not two isolated emails.
