Bulk sublimated jerseys and sportswear for wholesalers and distributors

Voyager Sportswear makes sublimated jerseys, sports shirts and training wear in bulk for wholesalers and distributors who sell them on from stock. A stock programme works when each style is fixed once, as pattern, fabric, print file, colour approval and labels, so that the same product can be made again in new size assortments and carton plans, from 100 pieces per style.

Fix each style so it can be repeated

For a stock range, the product has to be the same in every run. Record for each style:

• the pattern version and size chart;
• the fabric reference, with structure and weight;
• the print file version for every size, if the style is sublimated;
• the approved colour reference, from a printed sample on the actual fabric;
• trims and labels: neck label, care and size labels, and any hang tag.

A sublimated design is held as a print file, so it can be printed again unchanged; colour is still checked against the approved reference in each run, because fabric lots and printing conditions vary. Approving colour and reordering across seasons cover both checks. What is a sublimated jersey explains why the method suits full-print designs in repeat.

Build a range that reaches the minimum

Each style starts at 100 pieces, and those pieces are spread over the sizes the customers buy. A narrow range of designs, each ordered deep enough to fill a useful size assortment, is easier to keep in stock and to reorder than many designs with a few pieces in each size. Plain-colour styles with a logo and full-print sublimated styles can sit in the same range.

The garments can carry the wholesaler's own label as private-label production, with its own neck label and care labels. White label and private label are different arrangements, explained in OEM, ODM, private label and full-package sportswear. If you resell custom kits to clubs under your own label rather than from stock, private label teamwear for dealers is the closer fit.

Size assortments and carton plans

The size assortment of each style decides how the order is packed. Solid cartons hold one size and suit a warehouse that picks by size; assorted cartons hold a fixed size mix and suit a customer who buys whole cartons. Give the carton type, the size ratio, the pieces per carton and the marking for each style, and the packing is quoted with the order. Planning sizes for wholesale and retail explains how to set the ratio from sales data, and packing, barcodes and cartons has the carton brief.

Reorders and cost

A reorder of a fixed style starts from the recorded pattern, fabric, print file and labels, with a new size assortment where sales call for one. Check fabric availability and timing for the next run before promising stock dates to your customers. For budgeting, what decides the price of bulk sublimated jerseys lists the specification choices that move the unit price, and price and landed cost adds freight, duties and handling to your warehouse.

Questions and answers

Can a wholesaler reorder the same sublimated jersey design in later runs?

Yes. The approved print file, pattern, fabric reference and labels are kept as the style record, and a reorder prints the same file again. Colour is checked against the approved reference in each run, because fabric lots and printing conditions vary. Each reorder can have its own size assortment, based on what sold.

Can wholesale jerseys carry the wholesaler's own label?

Yes. Voyager Sportswear produces under the buyer's own label, so jerseys and sportswear can carry the wholesaler's neck label, care labels and size labels. Send the label artwork, the care and composition text for your markets and the label positions with the first order, and they become part of the style record for reorders.

How many styles should a first wholesale jersey order include?

Each style starts at 100 pieces, and those pieces are shared across the sizes your customers buy. A first order with fewer styles, each deep enough to fill a useful size assortment, is easier to keep in stock and to reorder than many styles with only a few pieces in each size. Add styles in later runs once sales show which designs and sizes move.
