Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about custom footwear & apparel, ordering, design, production, shipping, and partnerships — answered in detail.
Coolcustomize is a custom footwear and apparel manufacturing partner. We help sports teams, businesses, resellers, distributors, and creatives turn ideas into finished custom products — including shoes, jerseys, apparel, caps, and accessories. We support the full journey from requirement collection and design assistance to production, quality control, packing, and shipping.
Coolcustomize operates primarily as a custom supply and partnership hub rather than a simple add-to-cart retail catalog. Most projects start with an inquiry so we can confirm product type, decoration method, quantity, timeline, and fulfillment needs. This helps us provide accurate quotes and production plans.
We commonly work with:
We focus on in-house manufacturing capabilities and process control — including design support, embroidery/printing options, production, inspection, and fulfillment. The goal is stable quality, clearer communication, and flexible order sizes from small custom runs to larger programs.
Our founder/team network has 20+ years of industry experience in custom footwear and apparel. We combine that experience with modern custom workflows (digital proofing, flexible MOQ, and multi-process decoration).
No minimum order quantity for most custom programs. You can start from 1 piece, then scale to team batches or wholesale volume.
Yes. Many clients combine items such as jerseys + caps, or shoes + apparel for events/teams. Tell us the full item list so we can align production timing and packing.
Yes. Once a design is approved and produced, reorders are usually faster because artwork and specs are already confirmed. Share your previous order reference when reordering.
1) Submit an inquiry (Contact / Find Your Solution / Partner form)
2) Share product, quantity, size breakdown, artwork, destination, and deadline
3) Receive design proof + quote
4) Confirm details
5) Production → QC → packing → shipping
No. You can submit inquiries as a guest through our forms. An account may be created later for repeat partners if needed.
Yes. We provide free professional design support for custom projects, including layout assistance and revisions before approval.
No. Free service refers to design support and digital proofs/mockups. Physical samples are not free by default and can be quoted if needed.
A digital proof shows how your logo, text, colors, and placements will appear on the selected product before production. This is the standard approval step.
Unlimited revisions before confirmation, within normal project scope (placement, size, text, colorway, and design refinements). We start production only after you approve.
For standard requests, we aim to provide an initial digital proof quickly after receiving complete materials (often within about 24–48 hours on business days, depending on complexity and queue). Complex multi-product programs may take longer.
Common formats include AI, PDF, EPS, SVG, PSD, PNG, and JPG. Vector files (AI/PDF/EPS/SVG) are preferred for clean embroidery/print results. Please provide the highest resolution available.
Yes. Send references, brand colors, logo (if any), style direction, and intended use (team/event/retail). Our team can help develop a production-ready direction.
We can work from Pantone/brand guidelines where process allows. Note that final appearance can vary slightly by material and decoration method (embroidery thread vs sublimation vs screen ink). Approving the digital proof (and physical sample when purchased) is recommended for strict color projects.
Core categories include:
Availability by style can be confirmed in your inquiry.
Typical options include logos, names, numbers, monograms, patterns, all-over prints (where applicable), colorways, and placement variations (chest, sleeve, back, side panels, etc.).
Common techniques include embroidery, sublimation, screen printing, digital printing, and combination processes. We’ll recommend the best method based on fabric, design detail, durability needs, and budget.
Our embroidery setup supports high-output, high-precision production. Final stitch settings depend on artwork and product.
Sublimation is ideal for full-color and all-over designs on suitable polyester/coated materials, with strong color consistency when files and materials are properly prepared.
Yes, we can plan multi-item team or event packages (for example jerseys with caps or mixed apparel). Share your full item list and quantities for a bundled production plan.
Yes. We support OEM/ODM, private label, and co-branded custom programs for qualified partners.
Pricing depends on product type, materials, decoration process, design complexity, quantity, packing requirements, and shipping destination. Unit price usually improves as quantity increases.
Yes. Larger quantities generally receive better pricing. For certain team apparel programs, tiered discounts may apply (example structure used in team programs — confirm before order):
Yes. Quotes and digital design review can start after inquiry. Payment terms are confirmed before production.
Available methods depend on channel and order type (online checkout methods and/or B2B invoice arrangements). We’ll confirm payment options in your quote.
We aim to quote clearly by item: product unit price, decoration, packing, and shipping (and duties/taxes if applicable under agreed terms). If a request changes scope (extra processes, urgent production, special packaging), we will confirm updated pricing before proceeding.
After design approval, typical production is about 3–5 business days for many orders. Complex processes, large quantities, or peak seasons can extend timelines.
A practical flow is:
We’ll give a project-specific ETA in your quote.
Sometimes yes, depending on factory capacity and process. Mark your deadline as urgent in the inquiry form so we can check feasibility immediately.
Production starts after final design approval and after agreed payment/deposit terms are completed.
Changes are possible only if production has not started (or only for unfinished parts). Once cutting/printing/embroidery has begun, changes may be limited or incur extra cost. Contact us immediately if you need modifications.
Yes, we ship to international destinations through major logistics channels (such as DHL/FedEx and other options by route).
Tracking numbers are provided after dispatch. You can track via the carrier link or contact us with your order number for help.
Yes. For reseller and partner orders, we can ship with neutral packaging and without exposing factory identity to end customers, based on agreed packing rules.
Often yes for partner programs (insert cards, labels, mailers), depending on volume and lead time. Request this in your inquiry for quotation.
It depends on shipping terms (e.g., DDU vs DDP) and destination. Unless explicitly quoted as duties-included, assume import charges may be collected from the consignee. We will clarify Incoterms before shipment.
Contact us with tracking details. We will coordinate with the carrier for investigation and advise next steps based on carrier findings and order terms.
Yes. We support dropshipping-style fulfillment so partners can sell custom products with low inventory pressure. Onboarding details and order workflow are confirmed during partnership setup.
Yes. Wholesale and recurring bulk purchasing are available. Share estimated monthly volume for better planning and pricing.
Exclusive arrangements may be discussed for qualified partners by market/category. These require clear scope, volume expectations, and written terms.
Yes. Co-branded custom programs are welcome when brand rights and design responsibilities are clear.
Typical flow: select product direction → approve mockup → sell/take orders → we produce and fulfill (including blind ship when required). This reduces upfront inventory risk.
Submit the Apply to Partner / Reseller form or Contact Us. Include company name, markets, sales channels, product interest, and estimated monthly demand.
Products are inspected before shipping for key quality points such as appearance, stitching/print accuracy, logo placement, sizing consistency, and packing completeness. We target strict QC, including full inspection workflows for production batches.
We aim for high pass rates and low rework through process control and pre-shipment inspection.
Contact us within a reasonable period after delivery and provide order number, photos/videos, and issue description. If the issue is caused by our production/packing error, we will arrange reprint, replacement, or another agreed solution.
Generally no. Customized made-to-order products cannot be returned for change-of-mind, wrong-size guesses without guide use, or personal preference. Please approve proofs carefully before production.
Always check the size guide before ordering. If between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up unless a slim/fitted style is required. For teams, collect all player sizes before confirmation. Production-error size mistakes are handled under quality after-sales.
Yes. Send a roster sheet including player name, number, size, and product type. We will confirm the data before production.
Yes. These are core scenarios for jerseys, caps, and team accessories.
Yes. Common use cases include golf events, annual meetings, onboarding kits, trade-show apparel, and holiday gifting.
Yes. Many clients create event-specific artwork for one-time or annual events. Share event date early for scheduling.
Your original artwork and brand assets remain yours. We use approved files to fulfill your orders.
No. Client artwork is treated as confidential and used for the client’s production needs.
Customers must ensure they have rights to use logos, characters, and trademarks. We may refuse orders that appear to infringe third-party IP.
We typically reply within 24 hours on business days.
