A uniform appearance strengthens every team spirit - that is indisputable. However, it's not only the look that counts during training or competition, but also the function. That's why we developed Vario. All Vario articles are highly functional sportswear items that have been optimised for different purposes. These articles can be customised - whether in a completely individual design or simply in the respective club or company colour.
We realise the individualisation of the Vario articles through the so-called sublimation process, in which the colour is vapourised directly into the fabric. Thanks to this process, we can guarantee a very high degree of design freedom and precise detail resolution. The sublimation process is best suited for particularly elastic fabrics and offers a clean look even when stretched. In addition, the functionality of the garment is fully preserved and even with a full-surface design, breathability is not reduced at all.
Which items can be customised?
All white surfaces of the Vario articles can be individualised using the sublimation process. You can choose a completely individual design or a plain basic design (for example, simply your colour code) plus your logo placement. The black areas cannot be customised and must remain as they are for technical reasons.
Set-up costs & graphic services
Set-up costs are incurred by applying the desired design to the respective article. These costs amount to € 100.00 / CHF 110.00 and are incurred once per item and per design. These set-up costs* do not apply to plain designs. These costs are also waived for orders of 50 or more of the same item and for repeat orders.
We will be happy to create a draft with the desired design. If the order does not materialise, we take the liberty of invoicing the graphic costs incurred at € 75.00 / CHF 75.00 per hour.
*On the plain basic design, only the area shown in white can be customised in another colour. In addition, the desired logo can be placed freely. However, the placement of the Skinfit logo is unchangeable.
Frequently asked questions about Vario
What data and information do you need to provide for the initial sketch?
For an initial sketch, the logos are required in vector format (.ai, .eps, etc.), as well as the desired positions of the logos. Colour definitions (exclusively in Pantone Solid Coated) for the colouring of the desired article are also required. For a blank design, possibly a template of the desired implementation.
What delivery time should I expect?
The delivery time depends on the order situation, but can be expected to be around 20 weeks from design approval.
Can regular items be purchased in combination with a Vario item?
Of course. Standard articles are offered with a -25% team discount in addition to the sublimation articles according to the price scale. However, please note that the -25% team discount is already included in the graduated prices of the Vario articles. For example: Sublimated Vario Tri Shorts and Tri Tops are available as team clothing, along with a "regular" VENTO jacket to wear over it.
What is the quality of sublimation articles?
Each of the sublimated Vario products, like all our standard articles, is developed and produced with the greatest care. Only the best materials and the latest printing processes are used. In addition, we are proud that the entire value creation process takes place in Europe.
Can I make my own pattern/design?
We are happy to design your own pattern on the article. However, clear information or a concrete template must be provided. We charge € 75.00 per hour (brutto) for this graphic service.
Can each item be customised with a name?
Yes, but the name must be realised afterwards as a print (and not as a sublimation). The aim of sublimation is to create uniform clothing for several people. A respective sublimated name print would mean an individual design in each case.
How does the reorder work?
A repeat order is possible at any time. The minimum quantity is 10 pieces per item. The design and colour of the product must remain unchanged with regard to the initial order. The costs are calculated on the basis of the quantity ordered per item (see scale).
