Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Recycled Polyester (rPET) with Edge Painting
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Recycled Polyester (rPET) with edge painting for e-commerce and small-batch brands. On a piece like this the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is compression profile, which has to be even along the limb — 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: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, or a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance 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 GRS recycled content claim are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Los Angeles or New York 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 compression profile.
