Manufacturing

Eight controlled stages, all under one roof

Nothing critical is subcontracted out of sight. Cutting, decoration, stitching, inspection and packing happen on our floor, which is why we can commit to dates and hold colour across reorders.

Sportswear production lines at Rare Signs Apparel

01

Design & tech pack

We work from your artwork, sketch or reference garment and return graded spec sheets with measurement tables, placement maps and Pantone references for approval.

02

Fabric selection

Performance knits, interlock, mesh, fleece and technical shells sourced to your target GSM, stretch and hand-feel. Intake testing covers shrinkage and colour fastness.

03

Cutting

Automated marker planning maximises yield while keeping panel geometry consistent across every size in the range.

04

Printing & embroidery

Full-garment sublimation, screen print, heat transfer vinyl and 12-head embroidery, all in house so colour and registration stay under our control.

05

Stitching

Dedicated lines per product family, flatlock and double-needle construction, bar-tacked stress points and taped seams where the spec calls for it.
