Sublimation only looks good if the cut and sew happens after the print.

There are two ways to make a sublimated kit. The cheap way prints a finished blank, which leaves white seams, cracked graphics at the panel joins and a sponsor logo that does not line up across the chest. The correct way prints the panels flat, then cuts and sews them, so the design runs edge to edge and continues across every seam. The difference costs slightly more and is visible from the touchline.

The knit underneath matters as much as the print. A performance interlock with four way stretch and a moisture managing finish moves with a player and dries between halves. A cheap polyester holds sweat, goes heavy and starts to smell after a season of poor washing. For teams playing in heat, panel placement of a lighter mesh under the arms and down the flanks changes how the kit performs far more than the fabric name on the label.

The last piece is the boring one: repeatability. Squads change, players are added mid season, and a replacement shirt has to match a kit printed eight months earlier. Your artwork, colour profile and number font are held against your account, so shirt twenty four matches shirts one to twenty three rather than almost matching them.

The range 8 styles

Teamwear, from matchday to the team bus.

Clubs usually start with the matchday kit and add the rest once they see how the colours reproduce. Everything runs on the same artwork and the same held colour profile, so the tracksuit matches the shirt.

01

Knits chosen for the sport and the climate.

The right knit depends on contact level, session length and the temperature the team plays in. A kit specified for a cool European league is the wrong kit for a summer tournament in the Gulf.

Sublimation only bonds properly to high polyester content knits, which is why match kit is polyester based rather than cotton. Where a club wants a cotton feel for training or fan wear, we print rather than sublimate and specify the method accordingly.

Watch 02:10

Printed flat, then cut and sewn.

Sublimation transfer, panel cutting and assembly on a live teamwear run. This is the sequence that produces edge to edge colour rather than white seams, and it is the single thing worth checking before choosing any kit supplier.

Production 8 stages

Eight stages from a club badge to a kit bag.

Most clubs are working to a season start rather than a general timeline. The run is scheduled backwards from your first fixture, and each stage is dated against it.

Design brief and artwork

Your badge, sponsors and colours, plus a design direction or a reference kit. If you only have a rough idea, our team drafts the design and returns a mockup before anything is printed.

Colour profile lock

Your colours are printed on the actual knit and approved physically. Screen colour and printed colour are different things, and locking the profile now is what makes future top ups match.

Digital mockup approval

Front, back and side mockups with numbers and sponsor placement shown. Committees find things at this stage that are far cheaper to fix now than after printing.

Pre production sample

A real kit in the approved knit, in seven to ten days. Most clubs put it on a player for a training session before signing off, which we recommend.

Sublimation transfer

Panels printed flat and heat transferred, so the design runs to the very edge of every panel with no white seam and no cracking at the join.

Cut and sew

Panels cut and assembled with flatlock seams where the garment sits against skin, and reinforcement at the armhole, hem and collar join.

Names, numbers and inspection

Squad numbers and names applied to the approved font and placement, then AQL 2.5 inspection with a check against the squad list you supplied.

Pack and dispatch

Bagged per player where a squad list is supplied, boxed per team for league orders, with export documents and tracked dispatch handled here.

Why Benjima Buyer checks

Six things a club checks in the second season.

A kit looks good in the first photograph. These are the things that decide whether the club orders again.

The design runs across the seams

Printing before cutting means the graphic continues from front panel to side panel to sleeve. Printed blanks cannot do this, and on a striped or graphic heavy kit the difference is obvious from the stand.

Mid season additions match

Artwork, colour profile and number font are held against your account. A shirt printed eight months after the original run comes out the same colour, which is not a given elsewhere.

It survives the washing machine

Sublimation dyes the fibre rather than sitting on top of it, so the graphic cannot peel or crack. The knit is finished for colour fastness so the kit does not fade at a different rate to the shorts.

Twelve pieces is a real minimum

A single squad can order without joining a larger buy. That matters for youth teams, academy sides and clubs adding a new age group mid season.

Numbers and names are in house

Application is part of the production run rather than subcontracted out, so placement is measured and consistent across the squad and the lead time does not gain an extra week.

Fit blocks by age and sport

Youth grading is a separate block rather than a scaled down adult kit, and each sport has its own fit, because a basketball armhole and a rugby collar are not interchangeable.

Case notes Recent runs

Three teamwear programmes and what each needed.

Two clubs and a league. Different scales, same three requirements: colour, fit and repeatability.

Youth league / 14 clubs

Regional Youth League

Fourteen clubs on one league template with individual club colours and badges. One artwork system, fourteen colour profiles, and a single dispatch schedule before the season opened.

Before you ask 8 answers

What clubs and league organisers ask first.

What is the minimum order for a team kit?
Twelve pieces per design. That is one squad, which is the point. You do not need to combine with another club or hit a league wide quantity to get a custom sublimated kit. Unit price improves as quantity rises, but a twelve piece order is a real order rather than a favour.
Do you design the kit or do we need artwork ready?
Either. If you have artwork, send it in any vector or high resolution format. If you have a rough idea, a reference kit you like, or just a badge and two colours, our team drafts the design and returns front, back and side mockups for approval before anything is printed. Design work is included in the order rather than billed separately.
Will the colours match our club badge exactly?
They will match a physical approval, which is the only meaningful standard. Screen colour and printed colour behave differently, so we print your colours on the actual knit and send it for approval. Once you sign that off, the profile is held against your account and every future run is matched to it rather than to a screen reference.
Can we add players mid season?
Yes, and this is a common reason clubs move supplier. Your artwork, colour profile and number font are held on file, so a replacement or additional shirt printed months later matches the original squad. Minimum quantity for a top up is lower than for a first run, and we will quote it honestly.
Will the print crack or peel after washing?
No. Sublimation dyes the fibre rather than sitting on top of it, so there is no layer that can lift. That is different to heat transfer or vinyl, which do peel. The kit will eventually fade like any garment, but it fades evenly rather than breaking up, and the knit is finished for colour fastness to slow that down.
How long does a team kit take?
Sampling is seven to ten days from approved artwork, and bulk is eighteen to twenty five days. For a season start, count back about eight weeks including shipping and design rounds. Clubs that start in June for an August season are comfortable. Clubs that start in July are usually still fine by air freight, and we will say so plainly.
Do you handle names and numbers?
Yes, in house, as part of the production run. Send the squad list with numbers and names at order stage and garments are bagged per player. Doing it in house rather than subcontracting keeps placement consistent across the squad and avoids adding a week to the lead time.
Can you make training wear and tracksuits to match?
Yes, and most clubs order them together. Training wear, quarter zips, warm ups and presentation tracksuits run on the same held colour profile as the match kit, so the squad reads as one club on the bus as well as on the pitch. Training wear is usually the highest volume line in a club order.

Send your badge and your first fixture.

With the squad size, that is enough to start. If you do not have a design yet, send the badge and two colours and our team will draft mockups before you commit to anything.
