To flock a jersey, you first need a ready-made jersey. You can choose from a wide range of suppliers with different prices. Usually, the jersey is a standard jersey from a well-known sporting goods manufacturer. At this point, you can expect a delivery time of up to one week. Once the jersey has arrived, it has to be sent to the print shop for flocking. Here, the jersey is handed in to have logos, names, numbers, etc. placed on it. For individual jerseys, this process is usually very quick, so that you can pick up the flocked jersey after a few days.
However, if you want to have jerseys for the entire team or club flocked at the print shop, you can expect a production and delivery time of up to six weeks, especially during the high season. However, this cannot be said as a general rule, as the final duration always depends on the capacity utilisation of the printing plant. So you should always allow for a buffer if you don't want to be without jerseys at the start of the new season.
Another point that costs time and nerves is the data transfer. With the flocking process, you often have to send your logo to the provider. In many cases, this leads to queries, such as a logo file with a better resolution. Handling this process completely online saves time.
Flocked jerseys for newcomers
Every club and every team knows the problem: a newcomer joins the team and needs the same jersey with a player's name and a shirt number. With the procedure already described, the ordering process would start all over again, so that the newcomer would have to wait a few weeks for his jersey.
In addition, reordering is associated with additional costs for many suppliers, so that you even have to pay a surcharge for small quantities. So in the long run, reordering individual jerseys represents a considerable cost factor. Sounds like flocking jerseys is too expensive for you? With sublimation printing, you can significantly reduce the costs and also the duration of jersey flocking.
