Stock vs. Custom Wrestling Singlets - Part II

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.
