Men's Athletic & Outdoor Sandals & Slides Customization Program for Corporate Merch Programs with Dye-Sublimation Printing
Men's Athletic & Outdoor Sandals & Slides Solution for Corporate Merch Programs
This programme covers the full path from a men's athletic & outdoor sandals & slides concept to a repeatable bulk supply for corporate merch programs. 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 corporate merch programs 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
- UPF 50+ Sun Fabric — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
- Power Mesh — used when durability and abrasion resistance come first
- Mohair — chosen when the garment needs to hold shape after repeated laundering
- French Terry — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
Decoration and finishing
The default method for this programme is Dye-Sublimation Printing, 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.

FAQ
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.
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 300 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.
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.
