Quick answer: Factory-direct custom jerseys from Rockhint, a sportswear manufacturer in Sialkot, Pakistan, are priced per order, and the price per piece falls as quantity rises. Five things set the final price: fabric, decoration method, extra features, quantity, and shipping and duties.
Key takeaways
- Sublimation costs the same for 1 colour or 20, so complex designs are cheaper sublimated.
- Price per piece drops as quantity rises, because set-up costs are shared.
- Mixing sizes, names and numbers doesn’t raise the price.
- Shipping is charged by weight and volume; import duty is usually paid by the buyer.
- Buying factory-direct removes the reseller margin.

What decides the price of a custom jersey?
Fabric, decoration method, extra features, quantity and shipping. Each is explained below.
1. Fabric and weight
Heavier and more technical fabric costs more because it uses more material. Fabric weight is measured in GSM (grams per square metre).
| Product at Rockhint | Typical fabric weight |
|---|---|
| Soccer jersey | 120–180 GSM |
| Basketball and volleyball jersey | 130–160 GSM |
| American football jersey | 180–200 GSM |
| Ice hockey jersey | 180–270 GSM |
| Rugby jersey | 220–280 GSM |
Stretch blends with spandex cost more than 100% polyester.
2. Decoration method
- Full sublimation: one price whatever the number of colours, so gradients and patterns cost nothing extra.
- Screen printing: cheap for one or two colours; each extra colour adds a screen and cost.
- Tackle twill and embroidery: the most expensive, because letters and crests are cut and stitched.

3. Extra features
Fight straps, reinforced elbows, reversible construction, button plackets and private labels each add cost. Long sleeves use more fabric than short sleeves. For example, a full-button baseball jersey costs more than a two-button one.
4. Quantity
Price per piece falls as quantity rises. Artwork, colour matching and print set-up take the same time for 20 pieces or 200. Mixing sizes, names and numbers doesn’t raise the price; several different designs in a small order sometimes does.
5. Shipping and import duties
Rockhint ships by DHL, UPS and FedEx. Couriers charge by weight and volume, so 20 soccer jerseys cost less to ship than 20 hockey jerseys. Import duties and taxes depend on your country and are usually paid by the receiver on delivery.
Why is ordering from a factory in Pakistan cheaper?
Because there is no reseller margin. Many team-wear sellers abroad buy from factories in Sialkot and add their own margin. Sialkot is a major sporting goods centre; its exports were worth US$2.5 billion in 2017, about 10% of Pakistan’s total exports (Wikipedia). Ordering directly means you manage sizing and sample approval yourself, which is why a physical sample matters. See How to Order Custom Uniforms from Pakistan for each step.
How can a team keep uniform costs down?
- Choose sublimation for multi-colour designs.
- Use a standard fabric weight unless your sport needs heavier fabric.
- Order 50+ pieces if you can, for example by adding practice or fan jerseys.
- Keep to one or two designs per order.
- Plan 6–8 weeks ahead so you’re not paying for rush shipping.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom team jersey cost?
At Rockhint, the price of a custom jersey is quoted per order. It depends on fabric, decoration method, extra features, quantity and shipping, and a written quote is sent within 24 hours.
Is sublimation cheaper than screen printing?
For one- or two-colour logos, screen printing is usually cheaper. For multi-colour designs, gradients or full-body patterns, sublimation is usually cheaper because extra colours do not add cost.
Why is it cheaper to order uniforms directly from a factory in Pakistan?
Many team-wear sellers abroad buy from factories in Sialkot and add their own margin. Ordering directly from a manufacturer such as Rockhint removes that step; in return you handle sizing and sample approval yourself.
Does ordering more jerseys lower the price per piece?
Yes. Artwork, colour matching and print set-up take the same time for 20 pieces or 200, so the price per piece falls as the quantity rises.
Who pays import duties on uniforms shipped from Pakistan?
Import duties and taxes are set by the buyer’s country and are usually paid by the receiver when the courier delivers. Check your country’s customs website or ask DHL, UPS or FedEx for an estimate.
What is the minimum order at Rockhint?
20 pieces per order, with sizes, names and numbers mixed freely.
