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.

Sublimation Guide

Sublimation Guide for Sportswear

Sublimation printing embeds dye into suitable polyester fibres to create all-over or large-area designs common on match kits, esports jerseys, festival apparel, and custom teamwear. This guide explains what buyers should prepare, which fabric expectations matter, and how sampling protects colour and placement before bulk. Rekhi Sports in Sialkot has produced sublimation programmes for international OEM and ODM customers as part of broader sportswear manufacturing since 2003.

Sublimation is powerful when artwork, fabric, and pattern engineering align. It disappoints when buyers treat it like a desktop print preview. Screens lie; sealed samples tell the truth. Plan for that gap.

When sublimation is the right method

Choose sublimation when you need continuous graphics across panels, gradients, photographic elements, or complex multi-colour designs that would be impractical with screen count limits. It suits many polyester jersey programmes. It is generally the wrong primary method when your fabric story depends on cotton handfeel or when small left-chest logos on cotton polos are the only decoration — other methods fit those jobs better.

Mixed programmes exist: sublimated body with applied names and numbers, or sublimated panels with embroidered crests. Mixed methods need a sealed sample showing every decoration together.

Good fit — all-over kits, complex colourways, polyester performance tops.
Check first — fabric suitability, panel engineered artwork, wash expectations.
Brief needs — high-quality artwork, size grades, placement rules.

Artwork preparation buyers often miss

Provide high-resolution artwork sized for the actual pattern pieces, not a flat rectangle that ignores seams. Engineered prints must account for side seams, raglan lines, and cut edges. Logos that sit across seams can break visually if not planned. Include safe zones for critical marks such as sponsor logos that must remain readable after sewing.

Colour management should use agreed references. Bright neon expectations on screen may shift on fabric. Approve a printed fabric sample or full garment sample before bulk dye and cut commitments grow. Player names and numbers need font files or outlined artwork plus sizing rules for single and double digits.

Fabric and construction constraints

Sublimation performance depends on suitable polyester constructions. Fibre content, knit type, and finishing influence colour yield and handfeel. GSM still matters for opacity and drape; a beautiful print on a see-through pale body fails commercially. Confirm fabric and print together. Changing fabric after artwork is engineered can force redesign.

White or light base assumptions differ from programmes that rely on dyed grounds. Discuss the intended base with the factory. Do not assume every polyester tee on the market sublimates identically.

Sampling path for sublimation programmes

Typical paths include fabric print proofs, proto garments for fit, and decorated samples for colour and placement. Buyer comments should mark exact panel issues — “sponsor mark 1 cm too low on right chest” beats “fix the design.” After approval, seal the standard and freeze artwork version numbers. Late artwork swaps are a leading cause of missed ship windows in sublimation calendars.

Size grading interacts with engineered prints. A graphic that fits size M may crowd size XS or float on XL if not graded thoughtfully. Provide full size runs you will buy and ask how artwork scales across them.

Bulk control and packing

Bulk should match sealed colour and placement. Panel pairing and shade continuity matter when multiple rolls are used. Inspection should catch misaligned critical marks and obvious print defects before packing. Packing rules for team sets — shirts with matching shorts, or player number assortments — should be written early so cartons support distribution on arrival.

Lead times must include artwork engineering, sampling, approval, bulk print and cut, sew, inspection, and export packing. Optimistic dates that ignore approval loops create false comfort.

How to brief Rekhi Sports

Send category, quantity per colourway, destination, fabric direction or reference, full artwork with version control, size chart, and whether names and numbers are required. Use Get Quote or tech pack upload guidance for file-heavy briefs. Related resources cover fabric types, GSM, printing method alternatives, and tech packs.

Sublimation rewards disciplined buyers. Clean engineered files, suitable polyester, honest colour approval, and a sealed garment produce kits that look intentional on the field. Shortcuts produce expensive art that does not survive sewing and wash. Rekhi Sports prefers the disciplined path because that is what repeat team and brand programmes need from a Sialkot manufacturer.

If you are new to sublimation, start with a limited colourway pilot at practical MOQ, seal what works, then scale. That sequence costs less than locking a full season on untested artwork and fabric assumptions.

Team identity, sponsors, and readability

All-over designs can overwhelm sponsor marks and numbers if contrast is weak. Build readability tests into sampling: view the critical marks at distance and in motion photos, not only on a zoomed laptop. Clubs and academies care that numbers remain legible for officials and spectators. Brands care that partner logos meet placement contracts.

Provide clear hierarchy rules in the brief: which mark may never be cropped by seams, which panels are flexible for creative pattern, and which colours are mandatory brand assets. Engineered print artists work faster with hierarchy than with “make it pop” commentary.

For multi-year kit deals, archive sealed print standards with season codes. Small untracked tweaks compound into a kit that no longer matches last year’s photos used in marketing. Continuity is a commercial asset. Sublimation makes change easy; governance makes change intentional.

Rekhi Sports will help you sequence proofs and garments so colour and placement decisions happen before bulk panels are committed. Bring artwork version control and size runs to that conversation, and sublimation becomes a controlled manufacturing process instead of a creative gamble timed against a kickoff date.
