How Decoration Works
Names, numbers and logos are printed or stitched using sublimation, tackle twill, heat transfer or embroidery. Compare all decoration methods and choose what fits your budget and timeline.
Real Production Timeline for 2026 Season Opener
To guarantee delivery before the season opener, work backwards from your target date. Production takes 3–6 weeks after you approve the artwork. Allow extra time for the design approval process.

| 1. Send brief & order | Now | Email your team colors, quantity, product list and roster to enquiry@cjpapparel.com or use the contact form. |
| 2. Digital mockup review | 3–5 days | We send a free digital mockup (no charge). You review colors and layout and approve or request changes. |
| 3. Approve final artwork | 1–3 days (your review) | Once you sign off on the mockup, production can begin immediately. |
| 4. Production starts | 3–6 weeks (after step 3) | We cut, print/embroider, sew and quality-check all uniforms. |
| 5. Packing & shipping | 3–7 days | Uniforms packed by player, size or style; shipped worldwide. |

What's Included & What You Pay
Included in quoted price: Fabric, cutting, decoration (all methods), stitching, quality checks, and worldwide shipping to one address.
Free: Digital mockup in your colors; design consultation; size grading and fit adjustments.
Optional (separate cost): Video sample ($50 per piece)—we make your design as a real piece and film fabric, fit and color detail in 5–7 days. Physical sample is $100 per piece including express shipping. $50 per sample is credited toward your bulk order if placed within 14 days.
Customer pays: Import duties, customs fees and local taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax) charged by your country on arrival. These vary by location and are confirmed in your quotation.
Size & Roster Flexibility
Minimum order is 10 pieces per style, and you can mix youth (XS–XL) and adult sizes (XS–5XL) in one order. All sizes count toward the 10-piece minimum. Send your complete roster with names, numbers, sizes and preferences; we'll add every detail before production. If your roster is not final, order blank uniforms and add names later.
Reorders use the same approved artwork on file, making it quick to add new rosters each season.
Design Tips for Game Day
Keep it readable: Player names and numbers should be large and high-contrast to your base color so officials, fans and scoreboard operators can see them at game speed.
Match your brand: We work from your Pantone color references, brand guidelines or physical samples to ensure your uniforms match your school or team identity. Our color chart shows stock team colors; any custom color is possible with sublimation.
Plan for durability: Mesh fabrics breathe and dry fast. Choose reinforced seams in high-stress areas (armholes, shoulders) where uniforms take the most stress through a long season. Sublimated designs hold vibrant color through repeated washing.
Alternate uniforms: Many teams order a home and away set, or a reversible practice set. This extends the visual identity and gives you flexibility in game scheduling.
