What is sublimation?
Sublimation is the process where patterns or designs are firstly printed onto paper and then transferred onto the fabric under high heat and pressure.  Temperatures used range from 190ºC to 215ºC.  At these temperatures and under high pressure the gas in the inks explode impregnating the fabric, leaving the permanent non fading design.

 
Can we make our own design?
Yes!  This is a commonly asked question.  Quite often people want to come up with their own design that is unique to their team or organization.   We encourage this and can help with your artwork or create the design for you.

 
Do you still produce  traditional designs?

Yes!  We still make jerseys in plain or hooped designs.
 
What is your production period or turn around?
Normal production time for an order is between 4 - 6 weeks in our busiest season.  At off season times, the production time can vary and be as low as 2 - 3 weeks.  It pays to ask at the time of placing your order.

 
How generous are the sizes?
We pride ourselves on are our sizings.  If you would normally wear a size large, then most of the time, you can order anything from KO in a size large and it will fit.  Anything from a rugby jersey through to a casual short.

 
How do we pay for the gear?

We ask for a 50% deposit with confirmation of order and/or art work and the balance on delivery.
 
Is all your gear New Zealand made?
Another issue we are strong on.  Everything we manufacture is New Zealand made.  Some ancillary sporting equipment we supply is made outside New Zealand.

  How durable is the gear?
As we say . . .
Our gear is the best in the world and we insist that it performs as such.

 
Is it easy to launder?
Yes!  We use the most friendly and easy care fabrics possible and as long as people follow the washing instructions that are in every garment they shouldn't have any problems.

 
Do you supply sporting equipment?

Yes!  We supply a large amount of sporting equipment.  And if we cannot provide you with what you want, we generally know who can.
 
Do you have gear for all sports?
Yes!  We can supply gear for just about any sport.  Some that come to mind (Rugby, Soccer, Hockey, Netball, Basketball, Softball, Bowls, Cricket, Volleyball).  WE do all  manner of playing gear as well as gear for off the field.  From warmup gear through to after match dress gear.  Bags, Balls, Caps . . . Screen printing, Embroidery.
You name it , we do it.


 
What other products do you sell?
Our background is in fashion knitwear.  So along with sportswear, we also have a knitwear manufacturing setup supplying the New Zealand and Australian market.
