How does it work
HOW CAN I CUSTOMIZE A PRODUCT?
You can do this in two ways:
- Design Studio (you do it on the site)
- Super Design (have our Designers do it)
HOW DOES THE DEsign Studio WORK?
With our design studio, you can customize your apparel yourself. Change the colours and add logos, sponsors, numbers, and names.
WHAT'S A "SUPER DESIGN"?
With the “Super Design,” You can ask our graphic department for a completely customized design, just as you imagine! Please fill out the application form and get your preview.
If your request involves creating graphics or files to be optimized for printing, the purchase of one or more packages of “Super Design.”
If you already have a graphic sketch suitable for printing, we will create a digital preview applied to the chosen model for free and make the last adjustments and changes before printing.
hOW ARE THE PRODUCTS PRINTED?
All of our sports uniforms are printed in Sublimation.
This technique allows us to customize 100% of the fabric.
The Sublimation print is pigmented on the fabric to be smooth to the touch, and there will be no embossed prints; in this way, logos, numbers and writings will not get damaged or come off over time.
We have various logo craft options like Turf Embroidery Embroidery, silk screen printing, Silicone printing, embossing, and flock printing. Please leave a note in the order notes if you prefer any specific craft.
Timing
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A PREVIEW?
If you have requested a “Super Design,” we will send you a preview within 48 hours. The times are valid during working days (Monday – Friday), but holidays and weekends are excluded.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR PORDUCTION?
From the time of payment of your order, the production will take approximately 3-5 weeks.
You will find an estimate of the delivery date directly on the product page or during checkout.
Remember that the production process includes several complex, connected phases. To receive a product of surprising quality and customized as you want, it will be necessary to wait the required time.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT LONGER THAN USUAL?
Custom products are created entirely by us from the moment you place the order.
This means that we do not already have everything ready. Still, we have to cut the fabrics, prepare the print files, print the paper for sublimation, transfer the print to the material, sew all the elements that make up the product, and carry out the quality control, packaging and shipping.
As you may have noticed, the to-do list for each product is very long, which is why a longer waiting period is required than for a ready-made product.
So you will have to wait a bit, but it is worth it because the result will be unique, inimitable and quality!
Minimum Quantities
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM ORDER?
The minimum quantity per product is between 20 and 50, depending on the product type.

You can request the “LOW RE-ORDER” service, which allows you to re-order without respecting the minimums; a sample flat rate will be applied.

Consider that in case of re-order, it will not be possible to guarantee the exact reproduction of colours compared to previous productions.
CAN I TRY SAMPLES?
You can order one or more samples to try the sizes and evaluate the quality of the product. Please tell us the model you are interested in and possibly one or more preferred sizes. The graphics on the products will be random or neutral, depending on availability in stock.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SUBLIMATION PRINTING?
It is a type of printing that allows for infinite graphic possibilities, also increasing the technical quality of the garment. Printing occurs by transferring the colour pigment directly onto the fabric through sublimation. This allows the characteristics of the fabric to remain unaltered, such as resistance, elasticity, and transpiration, unlike other types of printing. Moreover, since the colour is imprinted in the material, you will not see logos that are damaged or that come off after a while; everything remains unchanged for a very long time!
CAN I ADD COLOR VARIANTS TO THE ORDER?
WHAT ARE THE PRINTING RESTRICTIONS?
During the printing and sewing phase, there may be problems in the continuity between the parts of the model sewn together and the respective graphics if connected. To avoid this problem, we use some solutions to break the pictures and create a significant effect. If a key is impossible, we will notify you of the problem.
WILL THE PREVIEW RESPECT THE FINISHED PRODUCT?
We are sure you will like the final result more than the preview. In any case, the final result will have a maximum tolerance of 15% compared to the preview. For technical reasons, the positions and dimensions of the graphic elements may vary slightly to distance them from the seams and proportion them to the various sizes.
