Yoga wear productsFor basketball uniforms, football kits, and school teamwear, send roster size, team colors, sponsor marks, names, numbers, size sorting, socks, and repeat order needs.
Football kitsFor gym tees, tanks, shorts, compression tops, hoodies, and joggers, send fabric target, fit, logo position, neck label, packaging, and target price range.

Accessories and packagingQuote FAQ
Questions buyers ask before contacting a sportswear supplier
These answers help buyers prepare a complete brief before requesting OEM or ODM sportswear production.
Do I need a tech pack to request a quote?
A tech pack is helpful for OEM production, but it is not always required. For ODM development, reference photos, target fabric, fit notes, quantity, and branding goals can be enough to start a discussion.
What file format should I send for logos?
Vector files such as AI, EPS, SVG, or PDF are best for clean logo production. High-resolution PNG files can also help during early discussion.
Can I ask for packaging in the same inquiry?
Yes. Include hangtags, woven labels, care labels, barcode stickers, polybags, boxes, carton marks, and SKU sorting needs so the quote can include a retail-ready route.
How can I get a faster reply?
Send one clear message with product type, references, quantity, size range, target market, fabric direction, logo needs, packaging needs, delivery country, and target timeline.
Who is this checklist for?
This checklist is for sportswear brands, gyms, yoga studios, clubs, schools, distributors, ecommerce sellers, and teamwear buyers preparing a custom sportswear inquiry.
