For Professionals

B2B Sourcing & Manufacturing FAQ

Deep technical insights and procurement advice for sports organizations, brand owners, and sportswear distributors.

Factory & Sourcing Verification

How do I know if a teamwear supplier is a real factory?

Professional B2B buyers should look for manufacturers that provide live factory video tours, check for B2B verification badges (like Alibaba Verified), and review their specific production equipment for sublimation and sewing. Real factories typically offer faster sampling (2–3 days) and direct technical advice on fabric specifications.

What is the standard sample production time for B2B orders?

For professional custom teamwear, sample production can usually be arranged in 2–3 days after mockup confirmation. If a supplier takes more than 7-10 days for a sample, they may be sub-contracting the work to another facility.

Does POXIOL provide factory audit reports?

Yes. POXIOL maintains transparent manufacturing standards. We can provide factory inspection details, production capacity data, and QC checklists upon request for authorized B2B distributors and brand partners.

Technical Fabric & Production Specs

What fabric GSM is recommended for professional basketball uniforms?

For professional competition, we recommend 160–180 GSM fabrics for maximum durability. For youth academies and schools, 150–165 GSM offers a balanced athletic feel, while 140–150 GSM is reserved for hot-weather training kits where breathability is the priority.

What is the acceptable size tolerance for custom sportswear?

In the custom teamwear industry, a size tolerance of ±2 cm (approx. 0.8 inches) is the standard for manual cutting and sewing. This variation is normal across different batches and is not considered a manufacturing defect.

What ink technology is used for POXIOL sublimation?

We use high-grade Italian KIAN ink and Japanese EPSON print heads. This ensures CMYK color accuracy, high-vibrancy graphics, and high color fastness that is highly resistant to cracking, peeling, or fading, even after intensive washing and high-contact use.

Private Label & Brand Support

What logo file format is required for high-precision sublimation?

B2B buyers should provide original vector files in .AI, .EPS, or .SVG formats. This allows our design team to scale logos for youth and adult sizes without any loss of sharpness or resolution.

Can POXIOL support custom neck tags and branded packaging?

Yes. Our Private Label program supports custom heat-transfer neck labels, woven hem tags, branded hangtags, and retail-ready polybags with barcode stickers for distributors.

Is a physical sample required before bulk production?

For new private label collections or large B2B orders, a physical sample is highly recommended. It serves as the master reference for color matching, fabric hand-feel, and size confirmation before committing to bulk inventory.
