Tactical Gloves Customization Program for Police and Fire Departments with All-Over Sublimation
Tactical Gloves Solution for Police and Fire Departments
This programme covers the full path from a tactical gloves concept to a repeatable bulk supply for police and fire departments. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the cloth, the fit block, the decoration method and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure we see in police and fire departments sourcing is not price — it is drift. Fabric changes supplier, the shade moves, sizing shifts half a grade and the programme quietly stops looking like the brand. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
Recommended fabrics
- Linen — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
- Poplin — preferred for breathability in warm conditions
- Canvas — preferred for breathability in warm conditions
- UPF 50+ Sun Fabric — preferred for breathability in warm conditions
Decoration and finishing
The default method for this programme is All-Over Sublimation, but we routinely combine processes on one garment. Placement, colour count and position drives cost more than the garment itself, so we quote decoration separately and show you the trade-off before sampling.
- Debossing
- Flat Embroidery
- Heat Transfer Printing
- Enzyme Wash

FAQ
What file formats do you need for artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 100 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
Can you match a specific colour?
Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
