Store

Efficient inventory management plays an important role in keeping sportswear manufacturing organized, consistent, and on schedule. While printing, cutting, and stitching receive most of the attention, proper storage and material handling are equally important for maintaining a smooth production workflow. At RAI & CO, our in-house store department manages raw materials, production supplies, and finished goods throughout the manufacturing process. Incoming materials, including fabric rolls, threads, zippers, elastic, labels, and packaging supplies, are received, recorded, and organized according to their categories and production requirements. Every incoming fabric shipment undergoes an initial quality inspection, where colour, fabric weight, and construction are checked against the approved specifications before being released for production. Materials are then managed according to individual orders to ensure the right supplies are available at the right time and unnecessary production delays are avoided. Our store department also handles finished goods before dispatch, ensuring every order is checked against its packing list, properly labelled, and organized according to its destination and shipping requirements. No shipment moves forward without verification against the confirmed order specifications. By maintaining an organized inventory and storage system within our Sialkot manufacturing facility, RAI & CO supports better production planning, reduces material shortages, and ensures greater control over order fulfilment. It may be one of the least visible departments, but it plays a vital role in delivering every order accurately and on time.

Embroidery

Some brand logos and designs are better represented through embroidery than printing. Detailed club crests, multi-colour logos, sponsor branding, and custom lettering often benefit from the textured, premium finish that stitched branding provides. At RAI & CO, we offer in-house embroidery services to help brands achieve a professional and durable finish across their custom sportswear collections. Our embroidery process begins with design digitising, where your logo or artwork is converted into a stitch file that guides the embroidery machine on thread placement, stitch direction, density, and colour sequence. Careful attention is given to every detail to ensure clean stitching, accurate logo reproduction, and a consistent finish without unnecessary fabric puckering or distortion. We provide custom embroidery for polo shirts, hoodies, caps, jackets, team tracksuits, kit bags, and other sportswear products. From club badges and sponsor logos to player names, academy crests, and private label branding, every design is produced according to your specifications. We can also combine sublimation printing with embroidered details on the same garment, creating a distinctive finish that brings together vibrant printed designs and premium stitched branding. Thread colours are matched against your approved brand palette, and embroidery samples are reviewed and approved before bulk production begins. By keeping embroidery in-house at our Sialkot facility, RAI & CO maintains greater control over branding accuracy, production consistency, and finished product quality.

Finishing & Packing

Finishing and packing are the final stages of custom sportswear manufacturing, where every garment is prepared for delivery and presented according to your brand’s requirements. At RAI & CO, we treat final inspection and packaging as an essential part of our quality control process rather than simply the last step before dispatch. Every garment is carefully inspected for stitching quality, print accuracy, sizing, construction, and overall finishing. Loose threads are trimmed, imperfections are identified, and any product that does not meet the approved standards is separated before packing. Our in-house labelling services include custom hang tags, size labels, care labels, woven brand labels, and private label branding to ensure every product reflects your brand identity. We also offer flexible packaging solutions based on your requirements, including individual polybags, assorted size packs, customized carton quantities, size ratios, and carton labelling for convenient warehouse receiving. Every order is packed according to the specifications agreed upon during production, ensuring consistency and accuracy across bulk shipments. Once final inspection and packing are complete, orders are prepared for international dispatch from our Sialkot facility through DHL, FedEx, or your nominated freight forwarder. Export documentation, dispatch confirmation, and shipment tracking details are provided to support a smooth delivery process. From the final quality check to the shipping carton, RAI & CO ensures your products are professionally finished, accurately packed, and ready to represent your brand in the market.

Stitching Dep

Stitching is where individual fabric panels come together to form a finished sportswear product. The quality of stitching directly affects a garment’s durability, fit, comfort, and overall appearance. At RAI & CO, our in-house stitching department handles garment assembly across a wide range of custom sportswear categories, ensuring every product is manufactured according to its specific construction requirements. We use different stitching techniques, including flatlock stitching for compression wear, rash guards, and base layers where smooth, low-profile seams are essential for comfort; overlock stitching for strong and durable joins on jerseys, uniforms, and outerwear; and coverstitch finishing for clean, professional hems, cuffs, and necklines. Our stitching operations are supported by industrial sewing machinery designed for consistent, high-volume garment production. Thread tension, stitch density, seam allowance, and sizing specifications are carefully monitored throughout each production run to maintain uniform quality from the first garment to the last. We also pay close attention to measurement accuracy and stitching consistency across bulk orders, ensuring garments maintain the approved fit and construction standards. By keeping stitching under our own roof in Sialkot, Pakistan, RAI & CO maintains complete control over production quality, efficient workflow, and timely order completion. Every garment is inspected for seam strength, finishing, and construction accuracy before moving to the final pressing and packing stage.

Heat & Pressing

Sublimation printing and heat pressing work together to achieve vibrant colours, sharp designs, and long-lasting prints on custom sportswear. Even a perfectly printed design can lose its quality if the heat transfer process is not controlled correctly, resulting in uneven colour, blurred details, or inconsistent print finishes. At RAI & CO, we carefully manage our heat pressing operations to ensure every design meets the approved quality standards. Temperature, pressure, and pressing time are adjusted according to fabric type and design requirements to achieve accurate and consistent colour transfer across every panel. Our heat transfer capabilities also allow us to apply custom logos, sponsor branding, team badges, player names, and other decorative elements to sportswear with a clean and professional finish. These applications are ideal for custom teamwear, football kits, training apparel, gym wear, and private label collections. All heat pressing and transfer operations are handled in-house at our Sialkot manufacturing facility, allowing us to maintain better quality control and seamless coordination between printing, cutting, pressing, and stitching. Every processed panel is inspected for colour accuracy, print clarity, and finish quality before moving to the next production stage. At RAI & CO, we focus on delivering consistent print results that bring your designs to life and maintain their appearance through regular training, washing, and everyday use.

Laser

Not every fabric can be processed using the same cutting method. Performance polyester, spandex blends, technical mesh, and other specialized materials each require a different approach to maintain accuracy, shape, and finish. At RAI & CO, we use advanced cutting techniques to ensure every fabric is handled according to its specific requirements. Our in-house laser cutting process uses a focused laser beam to cut fabric with exceptional precision, producing clean and consistent edges while minimizing fraying on suitable synthetic materials. This technique is particularly valuable for performance sportswear where accurate detailing and a professional finish are essential. Laser cutting is used for ventilation perforations on compression wear and rash guards, decorative edge detailing on activewear and fightwear, and complex geometric cutouts that require precise measurements. By handling laser cutting within our Sialkot manufacturing facility, we maintain better control over production quality while ensuring cut panels move efficiently to the next manufacturing stage. Every panel is inspected for cutting accuracy, edge quality, and design consistency before proceeding to stitching. Whether you are developing technical performance apparel, custom teamwear, or a premium private label collection, RAI & CO combines precision cutting capabilities with integrated manufacturing to deliver garments built to your specifications.

H&H Bonding

Most people buying sportswear never think about seams. But anyone who has worn a poorly constructed garment during intense training knows exactly what a bad seam feels like. Raised stitching that digs into skin during ground work, seams that absorb sweat and take hours to dry, or joins that split after a few months of hard use. These are construction problems, not fabric problems. H&H bonding, also known as hot air seam sealing, eliminates these issues by replacing traditional stitched seams with a heat-activated bonding process. Instead of a thread joining two panels together, a thin thermoplastic tape is applied along the seam line using precisely controlled hot air. The result is a flat, smooth, waterproof join that sits flush against the skin with no raised edges and no thread to absorb moisture. At Bromely Sports, H&H bonding is used across our seamless sports undergarments, compression wear, rash guards, and technical base layers where skin contact and moisture management are critical to performance. The process is carried out in-house at our Sialkot facility as part of the same integrated production line that handles printing, cutting, and stitching. Bonded construction also increases the structural longevity of a garment. Without thread, there is no thread to weaken, fray, or break down under repeated washing and heavy training loads. For brands building premium performance products, H&H bonding is one of the construction details that separates a well-made garment from a standard one.

Cutting

Cutting is one of the most critical stages in custom sportswear manufacturing, where precision directly determines the fit, finish, and overall quality of the final garment. Even a small measurement error can affect panel alignment, waste valuable fabric, and create fitting issues during stitching. At RAI & CO, we understand the importance of accuracy at every stage of production. As a vertically integrated sportswear manufacturer based in Sialkot, Pakistan, we handle our cutting operations in-house to maintain complete control over quality and consistency. Our cutting process is carefully managed according to garment specifications, fabric types, and design requirements, ensuring every panel is cut to the correct measurements. From custom teamwear and gym apparel to performance sportswear and private label collections, we focus on accurate patterns, clean cuts, and consistent sizing across every production run. By keeping cutting under the same roof as printing and stitching, we maintain better alignment between printed designs and garment panels while reducing unnecessary fabric waste. Every cut panel goes through an inspection process to verify measurements and accuracy before moving to the stitching department. Whether your order is 50 pieces or 10,000 units, RAI & CO delivers precision cutting that supports consistent quality, efficient production, and a reliable final product.

Digital Printing

Print quality is one of the first things a brand notices when a bulk order arrives. Colours that do not match the approved design, gradients that appear washed out, and fine details that lose their sharpness can affect the entire look of a product. At RAI & CO, we understand that consistent print quality is essential to building a brand customers trust. As a vertically integrated custom sportswear manufacturer based in Sialkot, Pakistan, we maintain complete control over our production process, including printing, sewing, and finishing. Our in-house production approach eliminates the need for third-party outsourcing, allowing us to maintain consistent quality, reduce production delays, and ensure every order meets your exact specifications. We work with performance polyester, spandex blends, moisture-wicking mesh, and other technical fabrics to deliver custom sportswear that combines visual appeal with long-lasting performance. From full all-over sublimation designs and panel prints to gradient colourways and detailed logos, we bring your approved designs to life with precision. Every production stage is monitored against your specifications and approved samples before bulk manufacturing moves forward. Whether you are launching your first 50-unit collection or managing a 10,000-unit seasonal programme, our commitment remains the same: consistent quality, accurate branding, and reliable delivery from the first fabric inspection to final dispatch. At RAI & CO, what you approve is what we manufacture.
