Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Spandex Core with Rib Knit
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Spandex Core with rib knit 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 1000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb, 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 EN 71 part 3 for decorative components 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.
