Custom Sports Wear for the Asia-Pacific Islands Market — Recycled Polyester (rPET) with Piping and Binding
We supply sports wear to island-market buyers built for warm humid days and air-conditioned interiors. Cloth weight, openness of weave and colour fastness are specified for heat, humidity and salt air first: Recycled Polyester (rPET) at 110-140 gsm, shade-matched to hold up under strong UV, chlorinated water and frequent laundering. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style per colour and ship to Sydney or Auckland.
The failure modes in this region are consistent: packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable, and color drift between lab dips and bulk fabric. We lock the specification before bulk — weight, shrinkage, stitch density and tolerance — and prepare the documents Australian requires, so containers clear instead of accruing demurrage at the port.

Import, duty and delivery
Australian consumer goods labelling is arranged before the goods leave the factory. We ship LCL or FCL to Sydney or Auckland, provide the commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and quote landed cost so duty and GST are visible before you commit. Reorders draw on the approved specification held on file, which matters for resort programmes that reorder every season.
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 Australian consumer goods labelling, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
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.
How long does sampling take?
A first prototype is typically ready in 14 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.
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.
