Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Poplin with Applique
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Poplin with applique for uniform and corporate programmes. 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 2000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, or colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare REACH and GPSR 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 CPSIA lead and phthalate testing are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Rotterdam or 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 compression profile.
FAQ
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
