Built for Movement and Identity

Private Label Sportswear Manufacturing From Design to Delivery

Stitch Expo is a custom sportswear manufacturer based in Sialkot, Pakistan. We help buyers develop sports clothing around the intended activity, climate, fit, branding and price position rather than applying a logo to an unsuitable generic garment.

Send a tech pack, measurement chart and artwork, or begin with sketches and reference images. Our team reviews fabric compatibility, movement requirements, construction, decoration, size grading and the information needed for sample development.

Every quotation is based on the actual product, material, panel construction, printing or embroidery, trims, quantity, size breakdown, packaging and delivery destination. This allows a more accurate assessment than a standard price list.

Material Selection

Performance Fabrics Selected for the Sport

Fabric should be chosen according to movement, contact level, climate, fit, decoration and laundering requirements. Terms such as “dry fit” are not one universal material specification, so composition, weight, stretch and surface must be confirmed.

Performance Polyester

Suitable options for jerseys, team kits and training apparel where lightweight construction and sublimation compatibility are required.

Polyester Mesh

Open or engineered mesh structures can support ventilation in selected panels, linings and full garments.

Polyester-Spandex

Four-way or selected mechanical stretch options for compression garments, fitted training wear, cycling and movement-focused apparel.

Nylon-Spandex

Smooth stretch fabrics for selected premium fitness, yoga and performance garments, subject to design and decoration compatibility.

Interlock, Tricot and Piqué

Structured knit options for tracksuits, polos, team uniforms, warm-up garments and training collections.

Cotton and Blended Fabrics

Cotton jersey, cotton-polyester fleece and French terry for lifestyle sportswear, travel wear, hoodies and joggers.

Performance Development

Sportswear Construction That Supports Movement

The correct construction depends on the activity and garment—not on adding every technical feature to every product.

01

Ergonomic Panels

Panel lines can be developed around mobility, stretch direction, ventilation, colour blocking and branding placement.

02

Seam Selection

Overlock, coverstitch, flatlock and reinforced seam options are selected according to fabric, stretch and use.

03

Ventilation Zones

Mesh inserts, perforated materials or engineered panels may be used where ventilation is required.

04

Reinforcement

Bartacks, double stitching and reinforced panels can be applied at suitable stress and contact points.

05

Waistbands and Grippers

Elastic, drawcord, shaped waistband and selected silicone-gripper options for shorts, leggings and cycling garments.

06

Pockets and Trims

Secure zipper pockets, phone pockets, teamwear pockets, reflective details and custom trims can be developed where appropriate.

Team Graphics and Branding

Custom Sublimation, Printing and Embroidery

The decoration method must suit the fabric, artwork, order quantity, stretch, surface and intended use. A method that works on a cotton warm-up hoodie may not be suitable for a lightweight stretch jersey.

  • All-over dye-sublimation printing
  • Screen printing and compatible specialty inks
  • DTF and selected heat-transfer applications
  • Flat and 3D puff embroidery
  • Tackle-twill and fabric appliqué
  • Silicone and rubber-style transfers
  • Reflective names, numbers and details
  • Player names, numbers and individual sizing
  • Woven, embroidered, rubber and silicone patches

Fit and Size Development

Sportswear Sizing for Performance and Team Orders

Fit requirements vary across sports. A compression top, basketball jersey, football uniform and travel tracksuit should not use the same ease or grading logic. Production can follow your approved measurement chart and size breakdown.

Athletic Fit

Controlled body ease for performance tops and streamlined teamwear.

Compression Fit

Negative or close ease developed with the selected fabric stretch.

Regular Team Fit

Balanced ease for training, competition and varied player builds.

Relaxed Fit

Added volume for basketball, hockey, warm-up and lifestyle apparel.

Youth and Adult Sizing

Separate grading can be developed for youth and adult team programmes.

Custom Size Chart

Your approved graded measurements can control bulk production.

Important: Confirm final measurements through an approved sample. Generic size charts cannot account for every sport, fit, fabric and regional market.

Sportswear Manufacturing FAQ

Questions From Brands, Clubs and Teams

Can you manufacture sportswear from our own design?

Yes. Send your tech pack, measurement chart, artwork, sketches or reference images. We review feasibility and develop the product around the confirmed specification.

Do you offer private-label sportswear manufacturing?

Yes. Available branding can include main labels, care labels, size labels, inside-neck prints, trims, hangtags and packaging depending on the product and quantity.

What sports uniforms can Stitch Expo manufacture?

Categories include soccer, basketball, American football, baseball, cricket, rugby, volleyball, hockey, cycling and selected training, compression and fitness apparel.

Can every sportswear design use sublimation?

No. Sublimation generally requires compatible polyester materials and suitable colours. Fabric composition, surface and garment design must be reviewed before selecting it.

Can you add individual names and player numbers?

Yes. Provide an approved roster containing each name, number, size and garment assignment. The information should be checked carefully before production.

Can we order a sample before bulk production?

Yes. Sampling allows you to review fit, material, construction, colour and decoration before bulk approval.

What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ depends on the garment, material, artwork, colourways and personalization. Share your required quantity so feasibility can be reviewed accurately.

Can you manufacture youth and adult sizes?

Yes. Youth and adult size ranges can be developed, but each range should follow an approved measurement specification.

Can you exactly match colours shown on a screen?

Screen colours are not reliable production standards. Provide an approved physical reference or agreed colour standard. Some variation can occur across fabrics and processes.

Do you ship sportswear internationally?

Yes. Orders can be prepared for worldwide delivery. Shipping method and cost depend on destination, parcel volume and delivery terms.
