Every TextileZilla uniform goes through eight stages under one roof in Sialkot. Scroll down and watch one jersey go from a sketch to a bag labelled with a player’s name.

One jersey, eight stages
Typical days for a 24-set order after you send your brief. Add about a week if you ask for a sample first.

Your brief arrives: logo, colours and roster

Brief
It starts with your logo, team colours, roster and the date you need the uniforms. A phone photo of a sketch is enough; you don’t need finished artwork.

Design + mockup
Our designers draw your kit to scale on the real garment pattern, with every name and number placed. You get front and back mockups within 24 hours and can ask for changes until it is right. Nothing is printed until you approve.
- Front + back views
- Pantone matched
- Unlimited changes
- 03Days 2–4
Print
The approved design is printed in mirror image onto transfer paper with sublimation ink, one sheet per panel and per size. On paper the colours look flat and dull. That is normal; they come alive in the next stage.
- Sublimation ink
- Mirror-image print
- Colour test strip
- 04Days 4–5
Heat press
Paper and polyester go through the heat press together at about 200 °C. The ink turns into a gas and bonds with the fibres, so the colours become part of the fabric. That is why sublimated uniforms never crack, peel or add weight.
- ≈200 °C
- Dyed into the fibre
- No added weight
- 05Days 5–7
Cut
Each printed panel is cut along its outline: fronts, backs, sleeves, collars and shorts panels, in every size on your roster. Panels are bundled by player, so names and sizes never get mixed up.
- Cut to each size
- Bundled by player
- 06Days 7–10
Stitch
Machinists join the panels with flatlock and overlock seams that lie flat against the skin, then add collars, armhole binding, waistbands, drawcords and size labels.
- Flatlock seams
- Rib trims
- Size labels
- 07Days 10–12
Quality check
Every piece is checked against your approved mockup and roster: colours, names, numbers, sizes, seams and loose threads. Anything wrong is remade before it ships, and you get a photo report. See what we check.
- Every piece
- Photo report
- 08Days 12–17
Pack + ship
Uniforms are folded, bagged and labelled with each player’s name, number and size, boxed and sent by DHL, FedEx or UPS. Delivery usually takes 3 to 5 business days to most countries, with tracking all the way.
- Bagged by player
- Tracked
- Door to door
Timeline
About 15 days, start to finish
Typical days for a standard order shipped by express courier. Busy seasons fill up, so book four to six weeks before you need the uniforms.

Questions
How it works
Curious about something we didn’t cover? Ask the people who do it.
Is everything made in your own factory?
Yes. Design, printing, heat pressing, cutting, stitching, checking and packing all happen in our factory in Sialkot, so one team is responsible for your order from start to finish.
Why don’t sublimated uniforms crack or fade?
The heat press turns the ink into a gas that bonds with the polyester fibres. The design becomes part of the fabric instead of a layer on top, so there is nothing to crack or peel, and it lasts as long as the garment.
Can we see a sample before full production?
Yes. We make one set in your design and sizes before the full run. It adds about a week, so ask for it when you request your quote.
How do you match our team colours?
Send Pantone codes if you have them, or a photo of your current kit. We print a test strip before production and compare it with your approved mockup under daylight lamps.
What happens if something arrives wrong?
If a size, name, number or colour does not match your approved mockup and roster, we remake it. See our remakes policy.
