art

ART

  • When designing a semi-custom jersey, do the white areas need to remain white?
  • No. The only fixed element when creating a semi-custom design is the actual design pattern. Colors can be changed as desired and logos can be placed as pleased.
  • Can I see a sample of my custom design before I receive it?
  • Yes. You will receive a mini-marker, which is a print file that has been reduced by at least half and then transferred onto the fabric that the production items will be put on. This will be sent to you approximately 2-6 weeks after the order is finalized. This procedure is the final approval step for color correctness and logo placement. *This is not a finalized sewn garment.
  • What format do I need to submit my artwork?
  • Vector graphics in .EPS or .AI format are preferred. If you are using an image such as a PNG or TIFF it must be high resolution (300+ dpi). JPEG graphics have a loss of quality and as such often print very poorly and are not recommended. If graphics cannot be obtained inquire about utilizing our design team to create unique art for your needs.
  • I have graphic art skills; do you provide templates for me to do the designing?
  • Yes. You can download our templates here. Keep in mind, no matter how perfectly your art is submitted we still have to pass it through our design department to QC elements that are internal to our system.
  • Do you charge for designing artwork?
  • Normal jobs will have no associated art fees. In an extreme circumstance we might assess an art fee if a design requires uncommon attention by our artists to complete. Logo generation will also be subject to fees if above and beyond in their creation time.
  • I am not sure what I want; can you help me with my order and jersey design?
  • By all means we can help you with that, please contact the custom department and they will be sure to steer you in the right direction while designing your kit.

GENERAL

  • What is the difference between Semi and Full-custom?
  • Semi-custom provides your team or shop with the opportunity to choose from one of our existing designs. There is no difference in the production between Full and Semi-custom, it is simply that the design elements in Semi-custom are not able to be modified whereas a Full-custom design allows you to indulge your wildest imagination!
  • How should I wash my custom clothing?
  • Wash all custom cycling clothing in cold water and line dry. Do not iron or use the dryer. Use color-safe non-chlorine bleach for dirt and mud stains, and spot clean gently to avoid snagging fabric.
  • What does the Vpro upgrade option include?
  • SHORTS/BIBS:
    Upgraded compression fabric and upgraded King/Queen pad. Highly anatomical fit to maximize effectiveness of compression fabrics with performance primarily in mind.

pricing

PRICING

  • A lot of companies have hidden charges that are not displayed in pricing quotes, what am I not seeing in your quotes?
  • There are no hidden charges. The only charge that is not included with your custom quote is the shipping cost. Please see the following question to clarify upcharges, upgrades and possible art fees.
  • What about the upcharges, upgrades or art fees?
  • If you do not reach the minimums required in a given category you will be assessed and upcharge, this is 50% of the price of the item on new orders and 20% on reorders. Upgrade or option fees are listed on the pricelist in their respective categories. Art fees will be discussed with you prior to being applied. These fees are only in the extreme circumstance the allotted free art time will not be enough to finalize your proof, or on the chance you cannot provide a print ready logo, please call or email for further information.
  • What is the minimum order quantity needed to place an order?
  • 6 identical pieces is the minimum to place a custom order. You may, however, order a mix of sizes. Orders that do not reach a 6-piece minimum are subject to an upcharge, please refer to the pricelist for more details.
  • Am I able to order both men's and women's sizing to reach the minimum?
  • Unfortunately no, in order to reach the minimum order of 6 pieces, the items must be the same style, pattern, and gender.
  • If I order 6 or more jerseys am I able to order just 1 jacket?
  • No, these two items fall into unique categories. Each category has a unique set of rules regarding minimums, please refer to the pricelist for more details.
  • What are the minimums on re-orders?
  • Reorders also require a 6-piece minimum, however, if you do not reach the minimum the upcharge is only 20% of the original price.
  • Why is their a price difference between Semi and Full-custom and why is Semi-Custom less expensive?
  • Semi-custom garments have pre-made art from proofs to production files. The printing and production process is exactly the same as Full-custom, but the time intensive and expensive process of art proofing and creation is effectively done. Provide your logos, colors choices and a little direction about how to apply them and you are good to go.

FITTING

  • What is the difference between Club Fit, Euro Fit and Vpro Fit?
  • Club Fit is a more relaxed fit. A Club Fit jersey provides approximately 1 size greater in body circumference versus our Euro-Fit.

    Euro Fit (AKA Team Fit) is a snugger, tighter, more tapered fit.

    Please see custom size chart (available in catalog) for exact measurement differences.
  • Am I able to receive a fit kit or sizing kit?
  • Yes. Prior to placing your custom order, you may order a fit kit to ensure correct sizing. Once the fit kit is returned, the fit kit order amount will be refunded back to you. Please be sure to follow the instruction sheet included with the fit kit shipment for return instructions.
