Rugby Top Customization Program for Surf and Swim Brands with Acid Wash
Rugby Top Customization Program for Surf and Swim Brands
This programme covers the full path from a rugby top concept to repeatable bulk supply for surf and swim brands. The build starts from everyday-casual references — rugby top in french terry — then locks fabric weight, wash behaviour and fit tolerance so every reorder matches the approved sample.
Most rugby top buyers arrive with one of these problems: the previous supplier could not hold consistency on reorders, or the previous supplier could not hold consistency on reorders. The fix is a written spec before bulk: shrinkage allowance, stitch density, colour tolerance and a golden sample kept at the factory.

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 OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
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.
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 10 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 4 days each.
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.
