What To Prepare Before Ordering Ice Hockey Jeresey
Custom ice hockey jersey is an exciting process that allows your team or organization to showcase its unique identity on the rink. Whether you are outfitting a local beer league team or supplying a nationwide tournament, preparation is the key to a seamless manufacturing process. To ensure your order is processed quickly and accurately, here is a comprehensive checklist of what you need to prepare before finalizing your purchase.
1. Vector Artwork and Logo Files
Your team logo is the centerpiece of your jersey. To achieve the highest quality print or embroidery, you must provide the manufacturer with high-resolution vector files. Formats like
.AI, .EPS, or .PDF are ideal. Vector files can be scaled infinitely without losing quality. If you only have raster images like .PNG or .JPEG, ensure they are at least 300 DPI. If you don’t have a logo ready, inform your manufacturer’s design team; many providers offer custom logo creation services.2. Custom Ice Hockey Jersey needs Team Roster, Names, and Numbers
A complete, typo-free team roster is essential. You will need to provide:
- Player Names: Decide if you want full last names, last names with initials, or nicknames.
- Player Numbers: Verify the numbers for every player to avoid duplicates.
- Sizing Breakdown: Assign specific sizes to each player based on their measurements.
3. Custom Ice hockey jerseys need Sizing and Fit Specifications
Ice hockey jerseys are unique because they must fit over bulky protective gear, including shoulder pads, elbow pads, and chest protectors. To ensure the perfect fit:
- Measure with Pads On: Players should measure their chest and sleeve length while wearing their full upper-body gear.
- Goalie Cuts: Goalie jerseys feature wider bodies and larger sleeves. Make sure to specify which jerseys are for your netminders.
- Check the Size Chart: Every manufacturer has a slightly different cut. Always refer to your provider’s specific sizing chart.
4. Customization and Material Choices
Ice hockey jerseys can be customized using different methods, and it is crucial to know what you want.
- Printing Method: Sublimation prints colors and designs directly into the fabric, offering lightweight durability and unlimited design options. Stitched Twill provides a classic, professional look with sewn-on logos, numbers, and name bars.
- Collar Options: Do you prefer a traditional lace-up collar, a V-neck, or a modern crew neck?
- Fabric Weight: Choose standard breathable mesh or heavy-duty pro-weight knits depending on your budget and preferences.
5. Delivery Timeline
Custom manufacturing takes time. While basic items might be readily available, fully custom hockey jerseys usually require around 7-9 days after you confirm your whole design and it needs about 4-7 days for shipping, We use DHL to do the shipping. Please always check the manufacturer’s lead time and order well in advance to ensure your jerseys arrive before your first game or tournament.
