Production Week: Inside The Hackin Sportswear Studio
Ever wondered what actually happens to your kit order between hitting "approve" and the boxes landing at the clubhouse? Here's a look inside production week at Hackin.
A custom football kit is a small miracle of organisation. Design, print, cut, sew, finish, quality-check, pack — every shirt passes through more hands than most people realise. Here's how a typical production week looks at Hackin Sportswear.
Monday: Print Day
Approved designs are colour-matched and sent to print on premium sublimation paper. We batch shirts by colour family to keep the colour accuracy razor sharp from the first shirt to the last.
Tuesday & Wednesday: Cut And Sew
Each printed panel is laser-cut to the exact size required for that player. The panels are then stitched together by our team, with reinforced seams at the shoulders and side panels for the parts of the shirt that take the most punishment.
Thursday: Numbers, Names And Sponsors
Names, numbers and sponsor logos are heat-pressed onto each shirt with a finish designed to outlast the kit cycle, not just the first season.
Friday: QC And Pack
Every single shirt is checked by hand against the player list before it's folded, bagged and packed in order. Your team list goes in the box too, so the kit secretary doesn't have to sort through thirty bags on a Sunday morning.
