A Belgian outerwear brand approached Ready One for 800 custom windbreakers to launch their first outerwear collection. Specifically, the order required all over print and reflective printing on waterproof polyester — with sealed seams on every unit. Furthermore, waterproof coating was applied after printing to preserve both print quality and waterproof performance. Consequently, brands launching custom outerwear can start a custom windbreaker order with Ready One.
Project Requirements
Garment Types and Quantities
| Garment | Units | Fabric | Finishing | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windbreakers | 800 | Waterproof Polyester | All Over Print + Reflective | Sealed Seams + Coating |
The brand ordered 800 windbreakers as a single coordinated collection. Furthermore, custom sportswear manufacturing at Ready One covers all over print, reflective printing, and waterproof outerwear construction.
Fabric and Decoration Specification
Windbreakers used lightweight waterproof polyester with a nylon shell construction. Specifically, all over print was applied using sublimation — the dye bonds directly into polyester fibres for a wash-resistant finish. Furthermore, reflective printing used a reflective ink layer applied over the sublimation base on the front panel. Moreover, sealed seams and a waterproof coating were applied as finishing steps after all decoration.
In addition, ISO 9001, BSCI, SEDEX, GOTS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and WRAP apply to every production run at Ready One.
Custom Windbreaker Production Challenges
All Over Print Registration on Waterproof Polyester
Waterproof polyester resists standard dye application. Specifically, sublimation works on polyester — the dye bonds into the fibre at high temperature rather than sitting on the surface. Furthermore, the challenge on waterproof fabric is sequencing — waterproof coating applied before sublimation blocks dye penetration. Consequently, Ready One runs sublimation on uncoated fabric panels before the waterproof finish is applied.
Reflective Print Alignment Across Panel Seams
Reflective print must align across front, back, and sleeve panels. Specifically, the reflective logo design crossed the front-to-sleeve seam on this order. Furthermore, if panel alignment is off by even a few millimetres, the logo reads as broken at the seam. Consequently, Ready One uses a panel-alignment template to register reflective print position before cutting.
Ready One’s Solution
Print-First, Coat-Second Production Sequence
Ready One printed all panels before waterproof coating. Specifically, sublimation was applied to the flat, uncoated panels in a single print run across all 800 units. Furthermore, reflective ink was added over the sublimation layer before any waterproof finish was applied. As a result, both print layers were fully set before the waterproof coating sealed the fabric surface.
Sampling and Pre-Production Approval
Ready One completed windbreaker samples within 7 working days. Specifically, samples demonstrated the print-first, coat-second sequence — showing all over print quality, reflective alignment, and waterproof performance. Furthermore, the client tested the sample for waterproofing before approving bulk production. Consequently, every decoration and finishing element was confirmed before any bulk panel entered production.
Reflective Print Execution
Reflective print was applied to all 800 windbreaker front panels. Specifically, the panel-alignment template was used on every unit to ensure the reflective logo registered correctly across the front-to-sleeve seam. Furthermore, each completed panel was checked against the approved sample before assembly.
Quality Control on an 800-Unit Windbreaker Order
AQL inspection covered print registration and waterproof integrity. Specifically, Ready One’s quality control process checks reflective alignment, sublimation colour accuracy, and seam seal on every batch. Furthermore, waterproof performance was tested by water spray on a sample from each production batch. Consequently, all 800 units passed waterproof testing before dispatch.
Production Results
28-Day DDP Delivery to Belgium
Dispatch completed on day 28, DDP to Belgium. Furthermore, DDP delivery covered customs clearance and door-to-door logistics across Belgium. Moreover, verified client reviews from brands across 40+ countries are published on the Ready One website.
Successful Outerwear Launch
The windbreaker collection launched to strong first-season sell-through in Belgium. Specifically, the all over print design and reflective details were both cited as key factors in the positive reception. Furthermore, brands building ongoing outerwear lines can explore private label outerwear production at Ready One. Consequently, Ready One serves as the long-term manufacturing partner behind this brand’s outerwear range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom windbreaker manufacturing at Ready One?
Ready One manufactures custom windbreakers from a minimum of 50 units per style. Furthermore, all over print and reflective printing are both available at this minimum volume. Moreover, monthly capacity of 100,000–150,000 units supports windbreaker orders from small collections to large seasonal runs. In addition, DDP delivery to Belgium is available on every order.
Can Ready One apply all over print on waterproof windbreaker fabric?
Yes. Ready One applies all over print via sublimation on waterproof polyester. Furthermore, sublimation runs on uncoated panels before the waterproof finish is applied — preserving both print quality and waterproofing. Consequently, the dye bonds fully into the polyester fibre before coating seals the fabric. Moreover, this sequence is confirmed on physical samples before bulk production begins.
How long does an 800-unit custom windbreaker order take at Ready One?
An 800-unit windbreaker order with all over print and reflective printing typically completes in 25 to 30 working days. Furthermore, sampling takes 5 to 7 working days and must be approved before bulk production begins. Consequently, Ready One delivered this order to Belgium on day 28. In addition, DDP logistics are arranged at the point of order — no separate shipping coordination is needed.
What certifications does Ready One hold for outerwear manufacturing?
Ready One holds six certifications: ISO 9001, BSCI, SEDEX, GOTS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and WRAP. Furthermore, all six certifications apply to every production run including windbreaker and outerwear orders. Moreover, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certifies all materials are free from harmful substances. In addition, ISO 9001 covers the full production process from sampling through to DDP dispatch.
