Pickleball Apparel Design & Development

We design and develop custom pickleball clothing for professional players, sports teams, distributors, and boutiques with our expert services. We offer product development, fabric development, sample production, and eco-friendly textile solutions.

Design Services: Our team of designers specializes in creating custom designs for pickleball clothing and accessories for both professional players and distributors, wholesalers, retailers, boutiques and companies. We work closely with our clients to create a collection or line of clothes that include leggings, capris, skirts, skorts, shorts, shirts, bra tops, long sleeve tops, hats and other pickleball related items.

• Product Development: We provide complete product development services, including fabric development, pattern design, logo design, and production planning. Our goal is to help our clients bring their ideas to life and create high-quality, functional pickleball clothing and accessories.

• 1. Concept and Design: The first step in the process is to gather information from the client about their desired product, including design concepts, target market, and performance requirements. Our team of designers will then create a design proposal that incorporates the client's input and incorporates the latest trends and technologies in pickleball clothing.

  2. Fabric Selection: Once the design is approved, we will select the appropriate fabrics for the product, taking into account factors such as performance, durability, and sustainability. For example, for a custom designed performance leggings, we will select a fabric that is moisture-wicking, breathable and UV-protective, and has enough stretch to allow for freedom of movement.

  3. Pattern Design: Our team of pattern makers will create a pattern for the leggings, taking into account the design, fabric selection, and performance requirements. The pattern will be adjusted and fitted on a fit model to ensure the best fit and functionality.

  4. Sample Development: We will then create a sample of the leggings for the client to review. The sample will be evaluated for fit, functionality, and overall quality. Any necessary adjustments will be made at this stage.

  5. Testing and Evaluation: The sample will be tested for performance, durability, and comfort. This includes testing for stretch recovery, abrasion resistance, colorfastness, and more.

  6. Approval and Production: Once the sample is approved, we will move forward with production. We will work closely with our clients to plan and coordinate the production process, ensuring that all deadlines are met and that the finished products are of the highest quality.

  7. Eco-Friendly Textile Solution: We will consider the entire lifecycle of the product, from sourcing of materials, production, use, and end of life disposal, to ensure the product is environmentally friendly and sustainable.

  8. Fulfillment: We will handle the fulfillment process, including order processing, inventory management, and shipping.

  Throughout the entire process, we will keep our clients informed of progress and make sure that their needs are met. We are committed to creating high-quality, functional pickleball clothing and accessories that meet the needs of our clients and the end users.

• Fabric Development and Fulfillment: We have a wide range of high-performance fabrics that are perfect for pickleball clothing, including moisture-wicking, breathable and UV-protective materials. We can also develop custom fabrics to meet specific needs and fulfill orders for bulk fabric.

• Our team of fabric experts works closely with clients to develop custom fabrics that meet the specific needs of their target market. We take into account factors such as performance, durability, and cost to create fabrics that will help athletes perform at their best.

  Example: A professional pickleball league approaches us to create a custom line of pickleball shirts for their team. The league wants a fabric that is lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking to help players stay cool and comfortable during intense match.

  Steps involved in the Fabric Development:

  1. Research: Our team will conduct research to identify the latest performance fabrics that are suitable for pickleball apparel. We will consider factors such as breathability, moisture-wicking, and durability to ensure that the fabric we choose will meet the specific needs of the league.

  2. Fabric Selection: Once we have identified a few suitable fabrics, we will work with the league to select the fabric that best meets their needs. We will provide samples of the fabrics for the league to review and test.

  3. Fabric Customization: We will then customize the fabric to meet the specific needs of the league. For example, we may add mesh panels for added breathability or adjust the weight of the fabric to make it more suitable for pickleball.

  4. Fabric Testing: Our team will then test the custom fabric to ensure that it meets the league's requirements. We will perform tests such as moisture-wicking, breathability, and durability tests to ensure that the fabric will perform well during pickleball matches.

  5. Fabric Fulfillment: Once the fabric is approved by the league, we will move forward with production and fulfill the order. We will work closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure that the fabric is used correctly during production.

  Throughout the fabric development process, we will keep our clients informed of progress and make sure that their needs are met. We are committed to creating high-quality, functional fabrics that meet the needs of our clients and the end users.

• Finished Product Samples: We provide finished product samples for all of our custom designs, so our clients can see and feel the quality of the products before they are produced in bulk.

• Logo Design and Pattern Design: Our team of designers can create custom logos and patterns for pickleball clothing and accessories, ensuring that our client's brand is easily recognizable and stands out in the market.

• Licensing: We offer licensing options for companies that want to use our custom designs and patterns for their own products.  This is a way to accelerate an introduction of your collection into the marketplace versus custom design services from initial concept, which can take weeks to months to complete.  

• Production Planning: We work closely with our clients to plan and coordinate the production process, ensuring that all deadlines are met and that the finished products are of the highest quality.

• E-commerce Fulfillment: We provide e-commerce fulfillment services, including order processing, inventory management, and shipping.

• Eco-Focused Textile Solutions: We are committed to using sustainable and eco-friendly textile solutions in all of our products, including organic cotton, recycled polyester, and other environmentally-friendly materials.
