Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Cotton with Heat-Cut Edge
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Cotton with heat-cut edge for outerwear and jacket 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 300 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, or unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. 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 salt spray test for metal finishes 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 gripper band that holds without cutting circulation.
