Football Jersey Printing Order Checklist for Resellers
For a wholesale jersey printing request, keep each name and number on the same line as its exact product, version, size and quantity. Separate blank shirts from printed shirts, attach a clear reference for any special lettering or patch, and review the written quotation before approving the order.

DECISION 01
Identify the jersey before specifying the printing
A club name and a size letter leave too much open. Start each line with a product link or clearly labelled reference image, then record the season or design, Home or Away style, version and size. Include sleeve length or a kids set description when relevant. A print request belongs to that specific item, rather than to every shirt from the same club.
Keep Fan and Player Version items on separate lines even when the club and size label match. Ask about the measurements of the selected product before treating a size as final. The version allocation guide explains why an ordering label does not establish identical fit or specifications. Use the product catalogue to identify references, then confirm what can actually be supplied.
DECISION 02
Write names and numbers exactly as requested
Give the exact spelling, capitalisation, spaces, punctuation and number for each printed item. If a leading zero matters, write it explicitly and ask for confirmation that it can be reproduced. Keep a number such as 07 in a text field in your own order sheet so that a spreadsheet does not silently turn it into 7.
Do not use an empty cell to mean several different things. Write “No name”, “No number” or “Blank shirt”, as appropriate, so an unfinished request cannot be mistaken for an instruction. When two otherwise identical shirts need different names or numbers, split them into separate rows. A quantity greater than one should describe identical product and printing requirements; check every exception separately.
DECISION 03
Keep lettering and patch references attached to the item
If you want a particular lettering style, colour, placement or patch, label a reference image and place that label beside the affected row. Say which part of the image you mean. A photograph showing both a sleeve patch and a back number does not explain whether you are requesting one, both or simply the jersey design.
Ask LotJersey to confirm whether the requested finish is supported for that product and which additional charges apply. A catalogue photograph does not guarantee that every visible patch or historic lettering style is available. Leave an unconfirmed detail marked as pending, rather than replacing it with an assumed standard. Any alternative needs a clearly identified reference before you decide whether to accept it.
DECISION 04
Count blank and printed quantities separately
Reconcile the item rows with each style subtotal and the full batch total. Keep the number of jerseys separate from the number of names, numbers and patch requests. Those counts may differ: a shirt may be blank, have only a number, or have a name and number. The printing breakdown explains the request; it does not establish a universal charging method.
| Row and product | Version / size | Quantity | Requested printing |
|---|---|---|---|
| A: selected Home reference | Fan / M | 2 | Blank shirts |
| B: same Home reference | Fan / M | 1 | EXAMPLE / 10 |
| C: same Home reference | Player / L | 1 | No name / 07; lettering reference P1 |
| Illustrative total | Separate versions retained | 4 jerseys | 2 blank; 1 name; 2 numbers; no patches requested |
The labels and quantities above demonstrate a checking method, not recommended stock or confirmed availability. Use the allocation worksheet to reconcile your actual batch, and keep the detailed print instructions alongside the allocation.
DECISION 05
Review the quotation against one dated list
Give your working list a date or revision label. When you correct a spelling, size or product reference, update the affected row and resend the complete current list with the changed rows clearly identified. Ask which revision is being quoted. This is a way to organise the discussion, not a promise that a change can be accepted at every stage.
Compare the written quotation with the accepted product references, versions, sizes, quantities and printing details. Review jersey amounts, applicable customisation charges and shipping separately. Include the receiving country and postcode so shipment arrangements can be checked. Discuss any required arrival date, and ask whether printing affects the estimated preparation period; neither an old order nor a blank-shirt estimate confirms timing for this request.
DECISION 06
Make the approval check specific
Before approving the order, check that every requested name and number is attached to the right row, no blank shirt has acquired printing by accident, and all quantities add up. Resolve pending lettering, patch and product questions in writing. Ask what confirmation can be provided for a detail that matters to your purchase instead of assuming that a proof, photograph or particular print method is included.
Keep the approved list and quotation together for the receiving check. Compare the delivered styles, versions, sizes, quantities and printing with those records before passing items to your customers. If something differs, identify the affected row and retain clear photographs when contacting LotJersey. A useful record makes the issue understandable without inventing a replacement or refund policy.
