Sample pack
A small set of finished kit pieces in a couple of sizes, sent to a club after design sign-off so the squad can confirm fit before the full production run.
What's in a sample pack
A sample pack is a small, pre-production set of garments that ships to the club after the design is signed off but before the full squad run is cut. It typically contains:
- One shirt in size M and one in size L (or whatever sizes most of the squad will need).
- One pair of shorts in the same sizes.
- Sometimes a sock pair if there's any concern about colour or stripe placement.
The samples are produced at full quality — same fabric, same finish, same cut — so what the squad tries on is exactly what they'll get. Nothing's a mock-up.
Why sample packs exist
Football kit sizing varies significantly between manufacturers. A "Large" from one supplier is a "Medium" from another. Without trying the actual cut on real bodies, clubs end up with a portion of the squad in the wrong size, and resolving it post-production is painful.
Sample packs catch the issue before it costs anyone money. Squad tries on, kit coordinator does a quick sizing pass, and the full run is cut to the resulting list.
Sample packs at Peaq
For full-squad orders at Peaq, sample packs are included as part of the design and production process — not an extra charge. The flow:
- Design rounds finish, you sign off.
- We cut and ship a small sample pack — typically two shirts and two pairs of shorts.
- Squad tries them on. Kit coordinator fills in a one-row-per-player sizing email.
- We cut the full run to that list.
For under-9 to under-16 squads, the sample pack scales with age — let us know the age group in the brief and we'll size the samples accordingly.
What sample packs don't replace
A sample pack proves fit. It doesn't replace the design rounds — by the time you're sizing, the design is already locked in. If you're still tweaking colours or layout, you're at the wrong stage for samples.
