Sleeves & Knee Sleeves Customization Program for Corporate Merch Programs with Embossing
Sleeves & Knee Sleeves Solution for Corporate Merch Programs
This programme covers the full path from a sleeves & knee sleeves 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
- Velour — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
- UPF 50+ Sun Fabric — chosen when the garment needs to hold shape after repeated laundering
- Recycled Polyester (rPET) — best balance of comfort, cost and wash stability
- Recycled Cotton — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
Decoration and finishing
The default method for this programme is Embossing, 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.
- Piece Dyeing
- Tie-Dye Wash
- Seam Sealing
- Ultrasonic Welding

FAQ
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for ISO 9001, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
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.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 50 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.
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 7 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 3 days each.
