Low-quantity custom teamwear: an enquiry checklist before you ask for a quote

A useful small-team enquiry is not just a request for a unit price. It gives each supplier the same product, quantity, artwork and timing information so feasibility and quotations can be compared fairly.

1. Define the garment and order

List each required item separately: for example, playing shirt, trouser or additional teamwear item. State the total quantity for each item and provide the size split if it is known. Minimum order quantities for selected custom sportswear products start from 10 pieces. Final feasibility, fabric, printing and customisation requirements are confirmed during quotation.

2. Prepare the personalisation list

Put player names, numbers and sizes in one controlled table. Mark blank or optional entries clearly, check repeated numbers and nominate one person who can approve the final version. Do not send personal contact details or unrelated player information in an initial enquiry.

3. Explain the design and logo position

Say whether a design already exists, whether a new layout is needed and which logos should appear. Confirm that the team is authorised to use club, sponsor and third-party marks. Share artwork through the supplier's approved private route rather than publishing private artwork in a public comment.

4. Separate event date, production and transit

Give the required event date and destination, but ask for production and dispatch or transit as separate stages. The event date is not a delivery promise. Shipping availability, charges and timing must be confirmed for the specific destination and order.

5. Ask for a written, like-for-like quotation

Request the product specification, quantity, included customisation, packing, taxes and shipping treatment in writing. Ask what information is still provisional and what change would require a revised quotation. A short, complete brief reduces repeated questions without turning an estimate into a guarantee.
