Custom Singlets in Auckland

Every job is quoted. The singlet itself, the size of the logo, whether there are numbers and names, and the quantity all move the number, so twenty club singlets with a chest mark and two hundred printed training singlets are different jobs. You get one price per singlet with the decoration already in it, not a garment cost and a branding cost to add together. Send the logo and rough numbers and the quote usually comes back the same business day.

No. One singlet or three hundred. Larger runs price better per unit because the setup is spread further, but there is no minimum quantity and no obligation to reorder. A very small order does carry a handling charge, for the same reason the per-unit price moves: setting the machine up and running it takes much the same work for one singlet as for fifty. The charge is on your quote before you commit to anything. Speciality film is the one exception to no minimum: reflective and fluorescent logos, and fabrics that need a film made for them, start at ten transfers of each design at each size (twenty for fluorescent), counted in transfers rather than garments. The quote says which your garment needs.

It can, and that is exactly why we ask what the garment is before quoting. A dense stitched fill puts a lot of thread into very little fabric, and on thin stretch polyester or mesh that shows as puckering and as a stiff patch that stops moving with the rest of the singlet. On heavier cotton it is not a concern at all. Where the fabric is light we will usually recommend a pressed transfer instead, or a smaller and more open design that the knit can carry.

Yes, and it is one of the most common things we do on this garment. Numbers and names are pressed rather than stitched — they are large, often needed in a hurry, and a heat transfer adds no weight to a racing singlet. Send the list with the order and we press each one individually. Adding a player mid-season does not mean a new setup, because the club mark is already set up — but each name and number is its own decoration, so they are quoted per garment.

Yes, and we will be straight about the part we cannot answer. We keep the logo clear of the retroreflective banding, which is where placement is genuinely constrained, and we can press in reflective or fluorescent material as well as ordinary transfer film, though those two films carry a minimum run — ten transfers of each design at each size for reflective and twenty for fluorescent, counted in transfers rather than garments. What we will not tell you is whether the garment still meets its certification afterwards — we have nothing in writing from the makers or a certifier to base that on, and it is not ours to promise. If the garment has to meet a standard on your site, confirm the requirement against the garment’s own certification before you order. There is more on our hi-vis page.

It depends almost entirely on the fabric. Heavier cotton singlets take a stitched mark well and it lasts through commercial washing. Lightweight training and mesh singlets are better pressed, because a transfer adds no weight, puts no holes through the knit and handles numbers, names and gradients that stitching cannot. We will tell you which one your garment and artwork actually need rather than take the order either way.

Yes. Send us your own stock and we will decorate it, or we source the blanks and decorate them in one go. If you are supplying, send one spare where you can — fabric weight and how much the knit stretches both change how a design has to be set up, and that is much better found out on a spare than on your whole run.

No. We are a service-area business — the workshop is in Glenfield and there is no counter, so there are no walk-ins and nothing is collected in person. Orders start with a message or a phone call, artwork comes over email, and the finished singlets are couriered to you anywhere in the country, Auckland included.
