Custom Cheerleading Uniform Manufacturers — one coordinated team, from 50 sets.

Design the uniform around the routine: a 280 GSM four-way stretch shell, a double-knit skirt for defined pleats, and lined mesh panels where the athlete needs ventilation.

Develop sizes XS–3XL with fit adjustments, and approve shell, skirt and warm-up colours together on the actual fabrics. Set a ±2mm decoration placement target on the artwork. Standard bulk-production planning is 25–30 days after sample approval.

Fabric Technology

The right fabric for each part of the routine.

A fitted bodice, a ventilated side panel and a structured skirt do different jobs. Develop them as one uniform while choosing each fabric for its function.

01 / 04

Shell · fitted bodice

Four-Way Stretch Spandex

Develop stretch in both directions for kicks, jumps and floor work.
Choose warp-knit construction for a stable stretch response.
Review support and opacity on the lined fit sample.
Use a 280 GSM / ≥95% recovery brief with an agreed extension and recovery test.

A fitted shell should recover after movement; check it through a full routine.

Printing Methods

Choose how the artwork becomes the uniform.

Dye-sublimation suits compatible polyester panels. Screen printing and heat transfer offer different advantages for solid marks, individual names and repeat orders.

The Mainstream Method

Dye-Sublimation — colour within the fabric.

Develop the shell, skirt and warm-up from one approved artwork file and colour standard. Match swatches on each actual fabric: different constructions do not automatically produce identical colour from the same print recipe.

Transfer dye into suitable polyester using a validated heat-and-pressure recipe; around 200°C is a development starting point, adjusted to the ink, paper and cloth.
Build full-colour CMYK, bright hues and metallic-effect artwork on a light base. Printed metallic effects do not contain metallic foil.
Map the panels before cutting and check where the graphics meet at seams.
Integrate authorised team lettering, athlete numbers and sponsor marks into the artwork.
The dyed graphic has no separate film edge; assess colour and garment appearance after the intended wash routine.

Screen Printing

Solid logos & repeat graphics

Use opaque ink through a stencil when a school crest, team mark or number needs a flat, solid colour.

Review ink coverage on dark cloth.
Compare setup cost at the planned order volume.
Test ink stretch and wash performance; keep heavy deposits away from high-stretch zones.

Heat Transfer

Small runs · names & numbers

Apply a prepared graphic with heat and pressure when the order needs individual details or a later roster addition.

Reproduce fine detail on an approved transfer sample.
Keep setup practical for smaller runs and top-ups.
Check film compatibility, adhesion and care; a surface layer remains on the garment.

Embellishment Layers

Add the detail that earns its place.

Start with the printed base, then choose the right amount of sparkle, texture and weight. Approve embellishment placement and care on the finished sample.

Rhinestones & Crystals

Sparkle at the focal points

Set stone size, colour and facet cut on the artwork.
Use a compatible heat-set application.
Agree a ±2mm placement target.
Run a 10-cycle wash adhesion check on the sample before bulk.

Glitter & Foil Accents

A reflective yoke or contrast panel

Choose smooth foil or textured glitter.
Place accents where the garment needs visual emphasis.
Review heat-transfer or adhesive compatibility.
Approve adhesion and shine after the agreed wash test.

Embroidery & Appliqué

Texture that gives a team mark depth

Develop layered tackle-twill and stitched edges.
Plan up to 12 thread colours in the artwork; confirm the suitable machine setup, including 16-head runs for repeat marks.
Set a 2mm placement tolerance on the mark.
Request the 24-hour artwork-to-sample option for suitable designs; timing depends on scope.

Sequin & Mesh Layering

A shimmer panel with a supported backing

Stitch sequins in controlled rows.
Review double-layer mesh for support.
Check attachment and edge comfort on the sample.
Line the panel where opacity is required.

Testimonials

What our customers say.

Washedloom helped us turn our colour palette and sketches into a coordinated cheer range. We could review the shell, skirt and warm-up together, which made it easier to see how the whole collection would look.

The sample stage was especially helpful for the details that do not show clearly on a drawing. We could check the lining, stretch, pleat shape and rhinestone placement before making the final decisions.

Having the artwork, size information and colour reference organised in one file also gave us a clearer starting point for future additions to the range.

We needed a uniform programme that worked for the athletes and for the people handing out the kits. Washedloom helped us bring the roster, size split and individual packing instructions into the same discussion.

The choice of fabrics and finishes was explained in practical terms. We could compare the look of the competition uniform with the comfort of the practice wear, and decide where extra decoration was worth adding.

I also appreciated being able to plan the gym labels and split-shipment requirements early. Those details are useful when one order has to be distributed across different teams.
