Quick answer: A custom jersey’s price depends mainly on fabric, decoration method, quantity, and whether shorts and socks are included; ask for a quote with your design and quantity.
“How much is a custom jersey?” is the first question most clubs and brands ask, and the honest answer is: it depends on six things you control. This guide explains each price factor so you can compare quotes properly and decide where to spend and where to save.
Quick answer
The cost of a custom jersey depends on fabric, decoration method, quantity, extras (names, numbers, labels, packaging), and shipping and duty. Fully sublimated polyester jerseys are usually the most cost-effective for teams because unlimited colours and names cost no extra setup. Larger quantities lower the price per piece, and ordering jersey, shorts and socks together reduces shipping cost per kit.
The six price factors
| Factor | Lower cost | Higher cost |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Standard polyester interlock or mesh | Premium, recycled or brushed fabrics |
| Decoration | Full sublimation (no setup per colour) | Embroidered crests, tackle twill, many separate prints |
| Quantity | Larger runs per design | Very small runs near the MOQ |
| Construction | Raglan or set-in sleeve, simple collar | Panels, zips, ribbed collars, side vents |
| Extras | Printed neck label, polybag | Woven labels, hangtags, individual retail boxes |
| Shipping | Sea freight for large orders | Air express for small urgent orders |
Why sublimation is usually cheapest for teams
With sublimation the whole design, sponsors, names and numbers are printed in one step on white polyester. A screen-printed jersey needs a separate screen for every colour and an extra step for each name and number. Read sublimation vs screen printing.
How quantity changes the price
Every order has fixed costs: artwork, pattern grading, printer setup and quality checks. On 30 pieces those costs are shared by 30 jerseys; on 300 pieces by 300. That is why price breaks usually appear at quantity tiers. See MOQ explained.
Landed cost: what you really pay
Landed cost per jersey = (factory price + freight + duty + clearance fees) ÷ quantity. For EU and UK buyers, most garments from Pakistan enter duty-free under GSP+ and DCTS, which can make Pakistani kits cheaper landed than kits from countries without those preferences. See the sourcing guide.
7 ways to lower your cost per kit
- Choose full sublimation instead of many separate prints.
- Order jersey, shorts and socks together.
- Combine home and away kits in one shipment.
- Use printed neck labels instead of woven labels for team kits.
- Collect all sizes before ordering to avoid small top-up orders (see how to collect team sizes).
- Order 8–10 weeks before the season so sea freight is possible.
- Keep the same design for reorders so no new setup is needed.

FAQs
Why do jersey quotes vary so much between suppliers?
Suppliers quote different fabrics, decoration methods, extras and shipping terms. Compare quotes on the same specification and on landed cost.
Do names and numbers cost extra?
With sublimation they are printed in the same step, so there is usually no extra setup. With heat transfer or tackle twill they add cost per piece.
Is it cheaper to order more jerseys?
Yes. Fixed setup costs are spread over more pieces, so the price per jersey falls as quantity rises.
What is the minimum order for custom jerseys at Ravix Pro?
30 pieces per design, with sizes, names and numbers mixed.
