kit sublimation needed

[rooster]

greetings

starting a new rugby league team in surrey and am looking for a regular supply of teamwear, trainingwear and casual supporters stuff.

i am specifically looking for
a sublimated (although it neednt necessarliy be) playing kit in the fashion of sydney roosters

google sydney roosters jersey. i like the white and the blue

i am looking for an in house printer preferably one i can visit and one who doesnt send abroad for them as the turnaround is to long and when the quality is a problem it cant be overseen until to late.

looking to get going soon enough. could be regular business for the right person.

i have contacts with some wholesalers but not sublimation printers.

many thanks

May be worth checking this company out.

I get regular emails form this company, not used them myself other than getting a couple of quotes over the years. I do know of folk who have used them and they recommend.

thanks, have seen them.

prices are a problem. need someone thinking long term relationship.

Thats the problem though rooster - not a lot of firms are going to offer large discounts on the promise of future work as 9 times out of 10 the work never materialises. Been down that road a few times and now I never offer big discounts on first few orders.

Cheers John

it seems that way. but all want around £1000 for a team strip. gotta be some give in that.

Rugby kits are expensive unfortunately. Although a lot are printed by sublimation it is not really that applicable to what most of us do here. Fully printed kits or even just personalised tends to be specialist stuff. I know a very good company that specializes in rugby kit (union) but is ready to drop it all as he doesn't find it that worthwhile.

I think going down the traditional routes is the only choice as finding a shortcut to a printer will be very hard.

[rooster]

if he sublimates union kit he can sublimate a league kit. does he want a few quid before he jacks it in?

understand the probs.

i think once you get an order or 2 under your belt the pricing changes.

it doesnt seem that the hard times have hit the sublimation market.

i have had a few mails from here though and find the site informative.

i did have a 5 station carousel not so long ago so am intersted in your game!

regards

All of the kit suppliers I know of get their stuff from outside of the UK. One of the main guys uses a company in Poland and another I know uses Netherlands. Don't know anyone who does it over here. Non subli kits are different but don't give the same finish.

[John G]

I don't think your going to get exactly what you want for a cheap price but if you have a carousel why not buy plain/patterned and then print the sponsers name on yourself.
