How to Collect Teamwear Sizes Without Creating Order Errors

Size errors often begin in the spreadsheet, not the factory. Names, garment types, quantities and sizes need one clear source of truth. DSS handles product selection, artwork, proof approval and production online, then ships completed orders Australia-wide.

What affects the result

Custom products may not be exchangeable once personalised or produced. A structured size process protects both the organiser and the wearer.

Decisions to make before approval

• Use the supplier's exact garment size chart

• Record garment type and fit beside every size

• Separate player numbers and names into their own columns

• Lock a final order deadline

• Have one authorised person approve the consolidated list

Circulate the correct chart, use sample garments where practical and obtain written confirmation of the final list. DSS can review the sheet before production.

A mistake worth avoiding

Do not convert sizes by assumption, such as treating every unisex medium as equivalent to a women's medium.

How to approach the order

Circulate the correct chart, use sample garments where practical and obtain written confirmation of the final list. DSS can review the sheet before production. The specification should be agreed before payment and production, with changes recorded in one approved proof or order summary.

Information DSS needs

• The exact product or garment being considered.

• The total quantity and complete size or colour breakdown.

• Vector artwork where available, or the best existing logo file.

• Every decoration position and the preferred finished look.

• Delivery postcode and required date.

• Use the supplier's exact garment size chart

Frequently asked questions

Is there one option that suits every business?

No. The right product depends on the audience, use, quantity, artwork, budget and deadline. A practical recommendation needs the whole brief.

Can DSS coordinate everything online?

Yes. The brief, quote, artwork review, proof approval and production communication can be managed online, with delivery across Australia.

Should a sample be ordered?

A sample is especially useful for a new fit, fabric, construction, colour or complex custom product. For a familiar stock item, supplier information and a clear proof may be enough.

Start with a clear brief

Send DSS the product idea, quantities, artwork, delivery location and deadline. The job can then be matched to a sensible production method without unnecessary complexity.
