Custom Sleeve & Knee Sleeve — Waffle Knit with Overlocked Edge
We supply sleeve & knee sleeve to brands, retailers and uniform programmes, made in Waffle Knit with overlocked edge for outerwear and jacket programmes. On a piece like this the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is recovery after repeated stretching, because a bagged sleeve is dead — 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: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare GB 18401 safety classification with GB/T 29862 fibre labelling 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 Shanghai or Shenzhen 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 recovery after repeated stretching.
FAQ
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 7 working days, and each revision about 5 days.
What is the minimum order?
Programmes start at 300 pieces per style per finish. Mixed sizes are fine within one style.
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.
