Discuss your packing requirements

Start your custom running apparel project

Made to order. No ready stock. Send your product, quantity per style and reference design. A regular order starts at 50 pieces per style, per color, and sizes in that color can be mixed. A new pattern, a special fabric, or a complex process is confirmed in the quote. Sampling usually takes about 7 working days after the design and materials are confirmed, depending on the style. Bulk usually takes 25–35 working days after sample approval, once the order, materials, and agreed terms are in place. These times are planning estimates, not a guaranteed delivery date. The final minimum and calendar are confirmed for your project.
