When it comes to
stock wrestling singlets versus
custom wrestling singlets I think most of the confusion comes about from the terms that are used to describe the process of
screen printing that goes on them. Sometimes, the process is called
custom printing or
singlet customization, but don't confuse the process with the item.
A
custom wrestling singlet is an ITEM where the full design can be altered. These can also be referred to as a
sublimated wrestling singlet because the ink for the design is dyed into the material through a PROCESS called
sublimation. Even the base color of the
wrestling singlet is a dyed color that can be altered to suit a
customer specification. The
Brute Custom Sublimated Wrestling Singlet series falls under this category.
A
stock wrestling singlet is an ITEM where the base design can't be altered. A
stock singlet will come in
specific color options and the style often includes designed seams in the form of panels or stripes that cannot be altered. However, the PROCESS of
custom printing can still be done in the open areas on these
wrestling singlets with
team names and
team mascots.
A
stock wrestling singlet is just as the name implies, many are ordered by a company and are kept in stock for customers to purchase. But these can still be customized through the
screen printing process.
A
custom wrestling singlet isn't ordered by a company until a customer places an order for them. Only the specific amount the customer requests are ordered, and the design can be altered to meet the customer's specifications.
So by remembering what is an ITEM versus a PROCESSES you can see why the
State Wrestling Singlet designs from
Brute are considered a stock singlet ITEM. The design can't be altered to a specific customer request. The PROCESS to print them was sublimation, but the ITEM itself is considered stock.
Confusing, I know, but that is why you should use a company like
Worldwide Sport Supply when you need to get your
wrestling gear. They have people to help you through these sometimes complicated processes. Their online
Big Book of wrestling digital catalog is a great place to start, the give them a call when you are ready to order.
