Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Polypropylene (PP) with Applique
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Polypropylene (PP) with applique for denim and workwear programmes. On a piece like this the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is gripper band that holds without cutting circulation — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered after the shipment lands. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, or packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Packing, testing and delivery
Pieces are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by style set — with barcodes applied where the channel needs them. Test reports for OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and keep the approved reference on file so reorders reproduce the same material, the same construction and the same gripper band that holds without cutting circulation.
