When a club looks for custom jerseys in Europe, Spized and Flare Custom often end up on the same shortlist. Both offer an online configurator and sublimation. The difference comes down to eight concrete criteria. Here is Flare Custom's verifiable answer on each, and the question to ask Spized so you compare like for like.
1. Minimum order
- Flare Custom: no minimum. Production from 1 piece, including a mid-season reorder.
- Ask Spized: what is the minimum for a first order, and for a single-jersey reorder?
2. Real lead time
- Flare Custom: proof within 24 to 48 h, then 2 to 4 weeks of production after approval, and 6 working days of DHL delivery across Europe. Express available: production from 72 h, delivery in 48 h.
- Ask Spized: does the stated lead time run from the order, from payment or from artwork approval?
3. Place of manufacture
- Flare Custom: a single workshop in Bulgaria, within the European Union. Flare Custom is the brand of OLB Sports OOD.
- Ask Spized: where are the jerseys printed, cut and sewn, and by whom?
4. Price of colours, logos and sponsors
- Flare Custom: unlimited colours, logos and sponsors at no extra cost. The price depends on the cut and the quantity, never on the design.
- Ask Spized: how much does each extra logo or colour cost?
5. Names and numbers
- Flare Custom: sequential numbers included; custom names and numbers at €2 excl. VAT per piece.
- Ask Spized: are numbers included, and what is the price of a name per jersey?
6. Proof
- Flare Custom: a proof before every production run, 3 rounds of changes included. Nothing ships without your written approval.
- Ask Spized: is there an approval step before production, and how many corrections are possible?
7. Sizes
- Flare Custom: kids from 4 to 14 and adults from XS to 3XL, mixed on the same order.
- Ask Spized: can kids' and adults' sizes be mixed on one order, with no minimum per size?
8. AI design
- Flare Custom: free 3D configurator, no account, with AI design. Describe the jersey or upload a mock-up, and the AI composes the design across every panel.
- Ask Spized: can you start from an existing mock-up or a description, or does everything have to be drawn by hand?
Key points
- Flare Custom: no minimum, 2 to 4 weeks, workshop in Bulgaria (EU), unlimited colours and logos included, systematic proof, reorders from 1 piece.
- A fair comparison means asking both suppliers the same eight questions and getting written answers.
- A Flare Custom quote is free and arrives within 24 h: the simplest way to compare on your real squad.
