A football jersey is not one fabric but a stack of fabrics: bird’s-eye mesh or dry-fit in the body, sports net opening airflow at the side panels and back, a light lining mesh where the design calls for it, jacquard piqué for collared kits. Jacquard mesh knits the motif into the cloth itself — no print needed — and light grounds ship ready for sublimation.

The same line scales from an amateur club collection to a teamwear producer’s season programme; the season calendar is our calendar too. We supply clubs and teamwear manufacturers across Western Europe, Russia and the CIS, and routinely produce to the test standards of European sports and apparel brands.

Moisture-Wicking Performance Knit

Moisture-wicking performance knit

130–220 g/m²

In this application
The high-tempo body alternative: moves sweat to the surface and stays dry for the full ninety minutes.
Composition
Mostly 100% polyester; often ~80–90% PES / 10–20% elastane (with-spandex) for stretch and fit.

Polyester Single Jersey with Elastane

Single jersey + elastane

Jacquard Piqué

Jacquard piqué

200–370 g/m²

In this application
Collared kits and presentation polos — a knitted-in motif with a structured look.

Formula

ESTIMATED — simple stacking. Container interior volume (m³) = length × width × height. 20' = 5.90 × 2.35 × 2.39 ≈ 33.14 m³ · payload limit 28,200 kg. 40' = 12.03 × 2.35 × 2.39 ≈ 67.57 m³ · payload limit 26,600 kg. 40' HC = 12.03 × 2.35 × 2.69 ≈ 76.04 m³ · payload limit 26,500 kg. Box volume (m³) = (length_cm ÷ 100) × (width_cm ÷ 100) × (height_cm ÷ 100). By volume = floor(container_volume ÷ box_volume) · By weight = floor(payload_limit ÷ box_kg) · Count = the smaller of the two. Fill % = count × box_volume ÷ container_volume (gapless theoretical upper bound).

Worked example

60 × 40 × 30 cm, 20 kg carton, 40' container. Box volume = 0.6 × 0.4 × 0.3 = 0.072 m³. By volume = floor(67.57 ÷ 0.072) = 938 · By weight = floor(26,600 ÷ 20) = 1,330. Count = min(938, 1,330) = 938 (volume is the limit). Load = 938 × 20 = 18,760 kg. Fill ≈ 100% (theoretical). Real stowage drops this because of pallet gaps and orientation.

Frequently asked questions

How many rolls fit in a 40' container?

It depends on the roll/carton size and weight. A 40' container offers ≈ 67.57 m³ and a 26,600 kg payload limit; the tool divides those by your box volume and weight, then takes the smaller. For a 0.072 m³, 20 kg carton that is an estimated 938 units.

What is the difference between a 20' and a 40'?

A 20' container carries ≈ 33.14 m³ / 28,200 kg, a 40' ≈ 67.57 m³ / 26,600 kg. The 40' gives roughly double the volume but a similar payload limit — so for heavy cartons the binding limit is often weight, not volume.

Why choose a 40' HC?

A 40' HC (High Cube) is 30 cm taller than a standard 40' (2.69 m interior height), giving ≈ 76.04 m³. It is preferred for light but bulky fabric rolls because it allows one more stacking layer.

Why is the result estimated?

The calculation assumes simple stacking; actual loading varies with pallet size, carton orientation, stacking pattern and door clearance. Contact us for an exact load plan and shipping quote.

Frequently asked questions

What is your MOQ for football jersey fabrics?

MOQ is 500–1,000 kg per colour; planning the collection around home and away colourways uses the MOQ efficiently. The exact figure is confirmed with your quotation.

Can you meet a season calendar?

Typical lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation to dispatch; ahead of the pre-season peak we recommend reserving capacity early. We work EXW, FOB or DAP; quotation requests are answered within 2 business days.

Are the fabrics sublimation-ready?

Yes — the polyester base is the native chemistry of sublimation; light grounds are prepared for printing and even surfaces return crisp artwork. Ground shade and width tolerances are agreed at quotation stage.

Can you knit our own motif in jacquard?

Yes: on jacquard mesh and jacquard piqué the pattern repeat is developed to your project and approved with a knitted trial. Because the motif sits in the structure it does not fade like a print; for multi-colour repeats the production plan and lead time are stated in the quotation.

Which tests do you report on jersey fabrics?

Production runs with OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified inputs; perspiration and wash fastness, dimensional stability and pilling are reported per order. On request the same fabrics are produced on a GRS-certified rPET base.
