How Sampling Works: From Your Design to a Physical Sample in 5–7 Days

    Every custom order starts with a sample you approve before mass production. Here is exactly what happens, step by step, and what you need to prepare on your side.

    The 6-Step Process

    1. 1

      Day 0

      Step 1 — Send your design

      Send us artwork in any common format (AI, PSD, PDF, PNG — even a hand sketch works). Include logo files, colors (Pantone codes if you have them), and your team name / player list if needed. No designer? Send us your club crest and a reference photo — our in-house design team builds the rendering for free.

    2. 2

      Day 1–2

      Step 2 — Confirm renderings

      We send back digital renderings showing your design on the actual garment — front, back, and detail views. You request changes, we revise. Nothing moves to production until you say yes.

    3. 3

      Day 2–3

      Step 3 — Confirm fabric and sizes

      Pick from 22+ in-house fabrics (or use the category default: e.g. 100% polyester 160gsm for soccer). Confirm your size breakdown — standard sizes S–4XL, or player-by-player custom sizing.

    4. 4

      Day 3–8

      Step 4 — Sample production

      Your physical sample is cut, printed, and sewn on our own production line — we do not outsource sampling, so there is no middle-man delay. Sample lead time: 5–7 days.

    5. 5

      Day 8–10

      Step 5 — Sample review

      We ship you the sample (express, 3–5 days to most markets) or film it in a live video call from the factory floor — many clients choose the video review to save a week. Approve it, or we revise once more.

    6. 6

      After approval

      Step 6 — Mass production

      Bulk production starts the day you approve. Lead time: 15–25 days depending on quantity and season.

    What You Need to Prepare

    • Logo file (vector preferred: AI/PDF/EPS)
    • Colors: Pantone codes, or we match from your artwork
    • Roster: player names + numbers (if printing)
    • Size breakdown per player or per size curve
    • Delivery address and preferred shipping method (sea / air / express)

    Sampling Process FAQ

    How long does a custom soccer jersey sample take?

    5–7 days of production after design confirmation, plus 3–5 days express shipping — or same-day video review directly from our factory.

    Do I pay for the sample?

    Custom samples cost $50–100, fully refundable against your bulk order. In-stock samples are free — you only cover shipping.

    Can I order a sample before committing to 50 sets?

    Yes. Sampling requires no commitment. Many clubs approve a sample first, then place the bulk order.

    Can you design the jersey for me?

    Yes. Our in-house design team creates renderings free of charge — send your logo and any reference images.
