Your Custom Football Order Timeline and Production Process
Standard production for custom football crests and teamwear takes between 3 to 5 weeks from the date of final artwork approval. We provide a dependable custom football order timeline so your academy or club can plan perfectly for the upcoming season, knowing exactly when your merchandise will arrive.
For club admins and academy directors, missing a kit delivery deadline is not an option. We operate with complete transparency regarding our patch production time and jersey manufacturing, ensuring you have reliable dates to communicate to your squad.
The Step-by-Step Club Merchandise Timeline
Our production workflow is designed to eliminate guesswork and protect your club's identity at every stage. Here is exactly how your order progresses:
Quote & Artwork Submission (Days 1–2)
You submit your requirements and vector files via our quote page. We review your specifications and provide accurate pricing. Please review our artwork requirements to prevent initial delays.
Digital Proofing & Approval (Days 3–5)
Before manufacturing begins, we map your design to our Pantone thread and fabric catalogues. We send you a detailed digital proof. The production clock only starts after you give final approval on this proof.
Manufacturing & Quality Control (Weeks 2–4)
Your custom crests and teamwear move into active production. Whether we are weaving intricate club badges or assembling full match kits, every item passes through a strict quality control check to ensure perfect colour and structural consistency.
Dispatch & Delivery (Week 5)
Once your order clears quality control, it is securely packaged and dispatched. For specific international delivery speeds and courier details, please refer to our shipping and fulfillment policy.

What Can Affect Your Turnaround Time?
While our standard jersey production time is highly reliable, certain variables can influence your final delivery date.
Artwork Revisions
If your digital proof requires multiple adjustments to get the crest exactly right, the timeline will pause until final approval is given.
Specialised Materials
Highly bespoke, hand-crafted products—such as bullion wire crests—require longer lead times than standard embroidered or woven patches.
Peak Season Volume
The weeks immediately preceding the start of the football season are our busiest. We highly recommend placing your club orders well in advance of your first fixture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the quoted turnaround time include shipping?
Our standard 3 to 5-week timeline covers production only, up to the point of dispatch. Delivery times will vary based on your exact location and the shipping tier you select. You can find more details in our general FAQ.
Is patch production time faster than full jersey production?
Yes. If you are exclusively ordering custom crest patches rather than fully assembled match kits or training gear, the turnaround time is often shorter. We will provide an exact, product-specific timeline when you request your quote.
Can you rush a club merchandise timeline for an upcoming tournament?
We do not guarantee rush orders at the expense of quality control. However, if you have an urgent cup final or tournament deadline, please communicate this when submitting your quote. If our production schedule allows, we will do everything possible to accommodate your date.
