A Season Planning Calendar](https://gymhur.com/when-to-order-sliotars/): Order training and underage sliotars in November or early December, straight after your AGM, so they arrive before pre-season training in January. A factory-direct order of 20–50 dozen takes 2–3 weeks to make, club crest included, plus 10–15 days to Ireland VAT-paid. Allow five to six weeks from order to delivery. - [Custom Hoodie MOQs Explained: Fabric, GSM and Shrinkage From a Sialkot Factory](https://gymhur.com/custom-hoodie-moq-fabric-guide/): The minimum order on a custom hoodie is rarely set by the factory. It is set by where the fabric comes from. Stock fleece has already been knitted and dyed, so the only minimum left is the factory's own: at GYMHUR, 50 pieces per style and colour. A custom colour means the mill has to knit and dye a run just for you, and an unusual blend means sourcing yarn it does not normally stock. Those are the steps with minimums, and they are why custom fabric costs more to start. - [The Complete Guide to Stitching Types in Performance Sportswear and MMA Gear](https://gymhur.com/stitching-types-performance-sportswear-mma-gear/): Performance sportswear uses four stitch types, each with a defined job. Overlock (ISO class 500) joins and edge-finishes stretch knits. Flatlock (ISO 607) butt-joins two panels edge-to-edge with no ridge, which is why it sits against skin in rashguards, spats and cycling bibs. Coverstitch (ISO 602/605) hems and finishes without losing stretch. Lockstitch (ISO 301) and bartack (ISO 304) handle woven components and stress points. - [What Makes a Match-Grade Sliotar? GAA Specifications Explained](https://gymhur.com/match-grade-sliotar-gaa-specifications/): A match-grade sliotar must meet the dimensional standard set out in Rule 4.4, Part 2 of the GAA Official Guide: a diameter of 69–72mm excluding the rim, a mass of 110–116 grams, a rim height of 1.8–2.6mm, a rim width of 3.6–5.4mm, and a cover thickness of 1.8–2.7mm with no lamination coating thicker than 0.15mm. Since January 2024 the ball must also be fluorescent yellow (Pantone 388) with red stitching thread. - [Sublimation vs Screen Printing vs DTF: Which Is Right for Your Kit?](https://gymhur.com/sublimation-vs-screen-printing-vs-dtf/): Most guides on this topic are written by print shops that own one machine. The machine they own is always the answer. - [Sliotars for the Irish Diaspora: How GAA Clubs in the USA, UK and Australia Source Match Balls](https://gymhur.com/sliotars-irish-diaspora-gaa-clubs/): There are now more than 500 GAA clubs outside Ireland — a number that has nearly doubled in the past decade. Britain alone has close to 90 affiliated clubs. Australia runs structured hurling competitions across every eastern state. The USGAA network stretches from New York and Boston to clubs in Milwaukee, Denver, Nashville and Seattle where most of the players have no Irish passport at all. - [How Sliotars Are Made: Inside the Manufacturing Process](https://gymhur.com/how-sliotars-are-made/): Most articles about how sliotars are made are written by people who've never seen a production floor. This one is written from inside a factory in Sialkot, Pakistan — the city that manufactures most of the world's hand-stitched sports balls, including the vast majority of sliotars sold in Ireland today. - [How to Write a Tech Pack for Custom Sportswear (With Free Template)](https://gymhur.com/how-to-write-a-tech-pack/): Most tech pack guides are written by designers or sourcing agents. This one is written by the people on the other end — the factory that receives your tech pack and has to build your garment from it. - [The Real Cost of Custom Activewear Manufacturing](https://gymhur.com/cost-of-custom-activewear-manufacturing/): Ask a manufacturer what it costs to produce custom activewear and most will give you a price per piece and stop there. That number is real, but it's a fraction of what you'll actually spend before a single unit is ready to sell. The gap between the quoted unit price and your true landed cost is where most first-time brands get caught out. - [How to Start a Private Label MMA and BJJ Gear Brand: Rashguards, Fight Shorts and Grappling Wear](https://gymhur.com/private-label-mma-bjj-gear-brand/): Quick Answer: Starting a private label MMA or BJJ gear brand requires choosing your product range, finding a manufacturer who understands combat sports construction, developing a tech pack, and sampling before bulk production. The minimum realistic budget for a first run is $2,350–$3,500 for two hero products at 50 units each. Rashguards and fight shorts are the highest-margin entry points. - [How to Start a Private Label Activewear Brand in 2026: The Complete Roadmap](https://gymhur.com/how-to-start-private-label-activewear-brand/): Most guides about starting an activewear brand are written by print-on-demand platforms selling their own service. This one is written by the people who actually cut and sew the garments. - [Cork Core vs PU Core Sliotars: What’s the Difference and Which is Better?](https://gymhur.com/cork-vs-pu-core-sliotar/): The debate over sliotar cores has been running in GAA circles for decades. Walk into any club dressing room before a championship game and someone will have a strong opinion about the ball. But most of that debate centres on brand preferences — Cummins vs O'Neill's, ribs too high or too low — rather than the engineering question underneath: what is actually inside the ball, and does it matter? - [GSM Explained: How to Choose the Right Fabric Weight for Every Garment](https://gymhur.com/gsm-fabric-weight-guide-activewear/): If you have ever submitted a Tech Pack or had a conversation with a fabric supplier, you have encountered the term GSM. It appears in product descriptions, sample specifications, and quality control reports. Yet it is one of the most misunderstood numbers in apparel manufacturing — and choosing the wrong GSM for your product is one of the most common and costly mistakes a new brand makes. - [Where to Buy Wholesale Sliotars for Your GAA Club: A Complete Sourcing Guide](https://gymhur.com/wholesale-sliotars-gaa-clubs-sourcing-guide/): If you are a club secretary, treasurer, or coach responsible for keeping your squad stocked with match balls, you already know the problem. Retail prices are high, stock runs out before the season, and finding a supplier who can deliver consistently — at the right quality and the right price — takes more effort than it should. - [Nylon vs Polyester for Activewear: Which Fabric is Right for Your Brand?](https://gymhur.com/nylon-vs-polyester-activewear/): Quick Answer: For premium leggings and sports bras, nylon is better — softer hand-feel, superior stretch recovery, and stronger abrasion resistance. For team kits, jerseys, and any garment requiring sublimation printing, polyester is the correct choice. Most activewear brands use both: nylon for their hero lifestyle pieces, polyester for performance and team wear. - [The “7-Day Production” Myth and the High Cost of Speed](https://gymhur.com/sportswear-manufacturing-lead-times-guide/): In the era of on-demand retail, many new sportswear brands approach manufacturing with an e-commerce mindset: "I want it now." - [Technical Analysis: Heat Bonding & Ultrasonic Welding in Activewear Construction](https://gymhur.com/heat-bonding-ultrasonic-welding-activewear/): Traditional garment construction relies on needle-and-thread stitching, which introduces thousands of perforations into the textile substrate. In high-performance activewear, these perforations create structural weaknesses, increase drag (aerodynamics), and introduce skin friction points (chafing). - [The Engineering of a Sliotar: Material Science & Manufacturing Standards](https://gymhur.com/the-engineering-of-a-sliotar/): The manufacturing of a regulation sliotar (hurling ball) is a balance of traditional aerodynamics and modern material science. Unlike a baseball or cricket ball, a sliotar requires a specific Coefficient of Restitution (bounce) combined with a raised rim (rib) to allow for the unique "lift and strike" mechanics of Hurling. - [3 “Field Tests” to Check Fabric Quality (No Lab Required)](https://gymhur.com/field-tests-to-check-fabric-quality/): You don't need a PhD or a million-dollar lab to tell if a fabric is trash. You just need a scale, a white cloth, and a little friction. - [Manufacturing Sportswear: Pakistan vs. China – An Honest Comparison for 2026](https://gymhur.com/manufacturing-sportswear-pakistan-vs-china/): For the last 20 years, "Made in China" has been the default for global manufacturing. But in 2026, the landscape has shifted. Rising labor costs in China, volatile trade tariffs, and high Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) are forcing brands to look elsewhere. ## Pages - [Resources](https://gymhur.com/resources/): GYMHUR · Knowledge base - [Muay Thai Shorts](https://gymhur.com/custom-sportswear/muay-thai-shorts/): Custom Sportswear · Combat & Performance - [Spats](https://gymhur.com/custom-sportswear/spats/): GYMHUR is a direct-to-brand custom spats manufacturer based in Sialkot, Pakistan.
