Activewear Manufacturer for Gyms

Yes, and it is one of the more common first orders we take. One hundred pieces per style per colour means a single site can realistically start with a hundred tees and a hundred hoodies in one colourway, branded properly rather than heat-pressed onto blanks bought in. The difference matters more than gym owners expect: a printed blank is someone else's garment with your logo on it, and the fit, fabric weight and durability are outside your control. Making your own means you choose the weight, the fit and the fabric, and you can reorder the identical product a year later. For multi-site operators the same floor applies per colour, so a shared colourway across locations is the efficient route.

Very closely, and we will be straight about where the variation sits. Pattern, construction and trims carry over exactly, because they are recorded and approved once. The variable is dye: colour is chemistry, and a batch dyed months later can land marginally different from the first, which is a physical reality across the industry rather than a shortcoming. We manage it by keeping your approved lab dip on file and matching new lots against it, and by flagging any deviation before we cut rather than after you receive the goods. If exact matching across seasons is critical — for a uniform programme, say — the reliable answer is to dye the whole quantity in one lot up front and hold the stock. We will tell you honestly if a shade is likely to be difficult to repeat.

Fewer than you think for a first run, and chosen from where you actually sell. A five-size range from XS to XL is the usual starting point for adult unisex; womenswear often runs XS to XL as well but with a different block. The trap is spreading a hundred pieces across seven sizes, which leaves you fourteen of each — too thin for a retailer and too thin to learn anything. Better to run five sizes deep than seven shallow. The ratio matters as much as the range: a typical curve weights the middle sizes far more heavily than the ends, commonly something like 1:2:3:2:1 across five sizes, though your own sales data beats any standard curve. Send us your ratio and we will cut to it rather than splitting evenly.

Screen print, embroidery, sublimation, heat transfer or woven label — and we will tell you which suits your artwork rather than defaulting to whichever is easiest for us. The choice depends on three things: the fabric, the size of the mark, and how it should feel. A small chest logo on a premium piece usually wants embroidery. A large graphic on cotton wants screen print. An all-over design on polyester wants sublimation. What we need from you is vector artwork — AI, EPS or PDF — plus the finished width in centimetres and the placement. A low-resolution image has to be redrawn, and redrawing means someone interprets your logo rather than reproducing it. Send what you have and we will tell you honestly whether it will hold at the size you want.

That depends on fabric weight and knit density, and it is testable rather than a matter of opinion. Squat-proof means the fabric does not go sheer under stretch. We build leggings in the 260-320gsm range for that reason — below roughly 240gsm most knits thin out visibly when stretched over the seat, regardless of what the label claims. Density matters as much as weight: a tightly knitted 280gsm performs better than a loose 300gsm. Colour plays a part too, since pale shades show through more than dark. We test it the obvious way on the pre-production sample — stretch the panel over a hand and look. If you want certainty, ask us to squat-test the sample before approval, and we will do it and send you the photograph.
