Sportswear and team kit manufacturer in Bangladesh

Yes. On a sublimated kit the names, numbers and sponsor panels are part of the same print as the stripes and colours, so there is no extra process and nothing to crack or peel; each jersey is printed individually from your player list before it is cut and sewn. Send the list as a spreadsheet with one row per garment, giving the size, the number and the name, and we check it back to you for duplicates and missing sizes before anything is printed. On garments that are not sublimated, such as a black training hoodie, names and numbers are applied by cut vinyl or transfer and priced per garment. Sponsor logos come as vector artwork and can change between seasons without changing the fabric or the pattern. Each set is packed in list order, so a kit manager can hand it out without sorting.

Knitted polyester, almost always, because it wicks, dries fast and takes sublimation. The standard base is a polyester interlock at 140 to 160 GSM, smooth enough to print sharply and dense enough to hide the body; birdseye or micro-mesh at 130 to 150 GSM is used for side and back panels where ventilation matters, and for basketball jerseys as the whole garment. Shorts are usually a warp-knit mesh or a light woven microfibre. Recycled polyester is available for most of these with a Global Recycled Standard transaction certificate for the lot, if your club or brand wants the claim on the label. A significant share of Bangladesh’s polyester fibre and yarn is still imported, so ask where each fabric and its yarn will be made before you fix a delivery date, and the sublimated fabric should be tested for colourfastness to washing before bulk, since a jersey is washed after every match.

Our own orders start at 500 pieces per style and colour, and the exact minimum for team kit is confirmed on your quote; runs from 150 pieces go to our sister factory, and below 150 neither route can take the order. A league, a school group or a kit brand supplying many clubs reaches our minimum by combining clubs on the same base garment and varying only the sublimation layout, which is the normal way team kit is produced at scale. A single club ordering thirty jerseys is below both figures. Runs from 150 pieces per style and colour, in knit categories including activewear, are made by our sister company, Collective Studio Ltd., in Narayanganj; Homaira Jashim, CMB Sourcing’s co-founder, co-founded it and AB Rahman, CMB Sourcing’s founder, is its Head of Growth; we manage those runs with the same sampling and inspection, and the activewear small-run page sets out the route and its limits. Either way, the quote states the minimum per style.

Yes. One kit order can span junior and adult sizes, but the two are graded on different charts: age and height for juniors, chest for adults. Keep both charts on file for each club and have the design graded across them, so a sponsor panel sits in the same place on a 7–8 years jersey and on an adult XXL. Fit is agreed once with a size run, a set of blank jerseys across the range that the club tries on, and the sizes on the player list then refer to that run. If you have no charts, ask for ours. Junior kit is children’s clothing in law, so your market’s rules apply: in the UK and EU, the cords and drawstrings standard BS EN 14682 allows no cords in hoods or necks for the youngest sizes, and children’s labelling rules apply too. The size range is also a price driver, because junior and adult are separate grades.

Work backwards from the first fixture and allow for three stages. Sampling comes first: a strike-off of the design on the real fabric, washed before approval, and a size run for the club to try on, which takes courier time in both directions. The player list follows, and production cannot start until it is final. Production time is stated on the quote as the date the factory has committed to; we do not publish a standard figure because it depends on the fabric and the size of the order. Sea freight then takes three to four weeks to Europe and up to five to the US, or under a week by air, before customs. Ask for a quote with the date you need the kit in hand, and for a plan that says which stage must close by when and whether the main order goes by sea or air.

Under The FA’s Kit and Advertising Regulations for the 2026-27 season in English football, the number on the back of a shirt should be 20 to 35 cm high and centred, and a number on the front of the shorts 10 to 15 cm. A player’s name on the back may be no more than 7.5 cm high. Sponsor advertising is limited by area: one area of up to 250 square centimetres on the front of the shirt, and up to 100 square centimetres on the back of the shirt, on each sleeve where competition rules permit, and on the back of the shorts. The club emblem may appear once on the front of the shirt, up to 100 square centimetres, and the kit manufacturer’s mark once on the shirt and once on the shorts, up to 20 square centimetres. Competitions set their own criteria, so send your league’s rules with the artwork.

Football socks can be ordered alongside a team kit, but they are a separate product with a separate minimum, made at a sock knitting unit, not in the factory that sews the jerseys. Jerseys and shorts are cut from printed polyester fabric; socks are knitted in one piece on circular sock machines and linked at the toe. Our minimum for socks is 5,000 pairs per style and colour, against a floor of 500 pieces per style and colour for garments, so the socks are usually the constraint. The practical route is a plain colour shared across many clubs, which is how a league or a kit brand reaches the figure. Socks are sized by foot length, usually in two or three sizes, so the player list needs a shoe size column. Give the sock colours and quantities with the kit enquiry, and they are quoted as their own line.

Team kits are sublimated because one white polyester fabric can then become any club’s colours, which is what makes orders for many clubs workable. A kit made from dyed fabric needs a fabric lot for every colour, each with its own minimum; a red and white home kit with a green away kit would need three. With sublimation the stripes, colours, sponsor panels, names and numbers are printed into white fabric before cutting, in one process with no set-up per colour, so many clubs share one base garment and differ only in the printed layout. The print cannot crack or peel, because the ink is fixed into the fibre. The limits are real: sublimation only works on light polyester, so a black or cotton-rich hoodie takes DTF transfers or embroidery, and an all-over design costs more than a plain body with printed panels. Wash the strike-off before approving it, because under-curing shows only later.

Yes. When the sizes are designed primarily for children aged 12 or younger, junior kit is a children’s product under the CPSIA, whatever the club calls it. The importer issues a Children’s Product Certificate based on reports from a CPSC-accepted laboratory, and each garment and its packaging carry a permanent tracking label. The CPSC does not require lead testing of textiles whose only treatment is dye, but heat-transfer vinyl names and numbers are subject to the total lead limit, and screen prints and other surface coatings fall under the limit for paint, so the applied parts of a kit are what the laboratory tests; ask it to confirm in writing how it treats your sublimated fabric. Flammability testing under 16 CFR 1610 is not needed for plain-surface fabrics of 2.6 ounces per square yard (about 88 GSM) or more, or for plain and raised-surface fabrics made entirely of acrylic, modacrylic, nylon, olefin, polyester or wool, so a 100% polyester jersey is exempt from testing, but the certificate must still cite the rule. Adult sizes in the same order are not children’s products, so keep junior sizes on their own lines in the player list and on the invoice.

As grades on the ISO grey scales, from 5 for no visible change down to 1, for each test the laboratory runs. For a kit the usual set is washing to ISO 105-C06, which grades the change in the jersey’s own colour and the staining of a white test fabric washed with it, so a red that bleeds into white shows as a low staining grade; perspiration to ISO 105-E04, because a match shirt is worn wet; and, where names or numbers are heat-applied, dry heat to ISO 105-P01. ISO 105-C06 has single tests that approximate one laundering and more severe multiple tests that can approximate up to five, at different temperatures, so the report must say which test was run, and it should match the care label you print: a test gentler than your label allows proves little. Write the lowest grade you accept for colour change and for staining into the tech pack before the strike-off, and compare every bulk report with it.
