How to Order Custom Jerseys from China
Ordering custom jerseys from China can be efficient when the buyer prepares the right details before asking for pricing. This guide explains how clubs, schools, brands, distributors, and event buyers can communicate clearly with a custom sportswear manufacturer and reduce quote delays.
Why Buyers Order Custom Jerseys from China
Many international buyers work with China-based jersey manufacturers because they need flexible customization, broad sport coverage, OEM support, and factory-direct communication. A good supplier can help turn a reference image, team roster, logo file, or brand concept into production-ready jerseys.
The most successful projects are not only about finding a low unit price. They depend on clear artwork, confirmed quantities, realistic production planning, and careful approval before bulk production starts.
Who This Guide Is For
This guide is written for team managers, school athletic departments, sports clubs, event buyers, distributors, private-label brands, and teamwear resellers. The same ordering logic applies whether you need soccer jerseys, basketball uniforms, baseball jerseys, hockey jerseys, rugby kits, lacrosse uniforms, wrestling singlets, or custom apparel.
If your project includes private labels, custom packaging, sponsor logos, or player names and numbers, prepare those details early so the factory can recommend the right production method.
- Clubs and teams ordering new season kits
- Schools and camps coordinating rosters and size ranges
- Distributors quoting several customer orders
- Private-label brands preparing OEM sportswear programs
- Events and tournaments buying bulk uniforms
What Information to Prepare Before Requesting a Quote
A complete quote request makes pricing faster and more accurate. At minimum, send the product type, sport, quantity, size range, delivery country, deadline, and artwork or reference images.
If you do not have final artwork, send a clear reference image and explain what needs to change. Eking Sports can review the information and prepare a free mockup plan before sampling or production.
- Product type and sport
- Quantity and size range
- Artwork, logos, names, numbers, and sponsor marks
- Fabric or fit preference if known
- Decoration method if known
- Private-label and packaging needs
- Country and delivery deadline
How Factory Quotes Are Calculated
A factory quote normally depends on product type, quantity, fabric, decoration method, number of colors or logo placements, names and numbers, labels, packaging, and shipping requirements. Larger orders can be planned differently from small team orders because setup, cutting, printing, sewing, and packing are organized at a different scale.
Avoid asking only for a price per jersey without product details. A sublimated soccer kit, a tackle-twill baseball jersey, and a private-label hoodie program require different materials, labor steps, and artwork preparation.
Sample Approval, Bulk Production, QC, and Shipping
For new custom designs, sample or pre-production approval helps confirm fabric, fit, logo placement, color direction, labels, and packaging details. Production starts after the approved details and payment terms are confirmed.
During bulk production, key checks include size, color, stitching, decoration placement, roster accuracy, packing method, and carton details. Shipping options depend on country, deadline, order size, and current logistics conditions.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Most quote delays come from missing artwork, unclear quantities, incomplete size lists, or a deadline that is not shared until late in the discussion. Another common issue is sending low-resolution logos that need to be redrawn before production.
Buyers should also confirm they have the right to use submitted logos, sponsor marks, names, trademarks, and artwork. The factory can produce from approved buyer files, but the buyer is responsible for usage rights.
- Sending only a photo without quantity or size range
- Changing artwork after approval without allowing extra time
- Forgetting names, numbers, or roster data
- Using unclear logo files
- Not sharing the delivery country or deadline early
