NEW EMBELLISHMENT PARTNER IN THE CLUB: WHAT A CLEAN ONBOARDING LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
The moment a club changes its embellishment partner is rarely a relaxed one. Internally, it means: New processes. New contacts. New coordination. And one question that often lingers unspoken: 👉 What happens if it doesn’t work? Because in the end, it is not just about logos or products. It is about whether everything runs just as reliably in day to day operations as before. And that is exactly why many clubs hesitate to take this step, even when they are not truly satisfied with their current solution. Why many clubs delay the switch In many clubs, processes work. Orders go [...]
RECREATING A CLUB LOGO: HOW TO APPLY YOUR LOGO IDENTICALLY ON GOALKEEPER JERSEYS, MERCH AND MORE
“Can you recreate our logo?” This question often comes up naturally during a project. The main kit from the supplier is finished. The logo sits perfectly. But as soon as it comes to other products, the situation changes. Many of these items come from the supplier without a logo. Goalkeeper jerseys Special productions Merch And this is exactly where the challenge begins: 👉 How do you get that exact same logo onto these products? Why this topic comes up in the first place In many clubs, the situation is similar. The main collection comes from the supplier. Logos, materials and [...]
ON-SITE TEXTILE EMBELLISHMENT: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT A MOBILE SERVICE
A mobile embellishment service makes sense whenever embellishment is not just a production step, but part of the moment. In simple terms: production moves to where it’s needed – directly to the event. In practice, this mainly applies to events, outfittings, or activations where timing, personalisation, and handover come together. This is exactly where on-site embellishment shows its strengths. In this article, we’ll explain when a mobile embellishment service makes sense, how it works, and what you should consider. When does on-site embellishment make sense? Not every project requires production at the event location. But there are clear situations where [...]
FLEX FOIL VS. MODULAR NAMES & NUMBER SYSTEMS: WHICH WORKS BETTER FOR FOOTBALL FANSHOPS?
For many football clubs, the jersey is the most important merchandise product they sell. And hardly any fan wants a jersey without personalization. The name of their favorite player. Or their own name on the back. To make this process quick and efficient in the fanshop, many clubs still rely on a system that has barely changed for years: complete name and number sheets made from flex film. The principle is simple. The full layout – name, number and club script – is plotted on a single sheet, weeded, and then applied to the jersey in one step. For many [...]
RFID IN FAN SHOPS: HOW SELF-CHECKOUT STORES WORK FOR FOOTBALL CLUBS
RFID-based self-checkout fan shops , often referred to as self-service retail solutions, allow football clubs to automatically identify merchandise and offer fans a fast checkout experience without scanning individual barcodes. Each item is equipped with an RFID tag that is detected by a reader when products are placed in the checkout area. The system automatically creates the shopping cart, and the fan completes the payment directly at the terminal. In practice, this means shorter queues, faster purchases, and significantly better inventory visibility. Especially in stadium environments, this can make a major difference. When the fan shop is busier than [...]
DIGITAL PRODUCT PASSPORT (DPP): WHERE DOES THE DATA COME FROM? HOW TO BUILD THE FOUNDATION (PART 4)
👋 Welcome to Part 4 of our DPP mini-series. In the first three parts, we explored: • where the Digital Product Passport can be placed on your product • how your textile connects technically to the DPP (QR or NFC) • what kind of digital experience your customers see after scanning But one crucial question remains: Where does the data in the Digital Product Passport actually come from? Because an NFC chip or QR code does not contain the product information itself. It simply acts as a gateway to a system in the background. And that’s where the real foundation [...]
