Event-date planning
Work backward from the required arrival date.
The event date alone is not the delivery date. Build in time for distribution, registration packing, staff allocation, and contingency. Exact milestones are confirmed after the product, quantity, artwork, sample, and shipping method are reviewed.
- 1Event and arrival dates
Define when products must arrive, not only when the race starts.
- 2Artwork approval
Collect organizer, sponsor, partner, and role graphics with final placements.
- 3Sample decision
Confirm whether digital approval is sufficient or a physical sample is required.
- 4Production window
Lock the approved scope, quantity, size split, labels, and packing requirements.
- 5Shipping and distribution buffer
Plan international handoff plus local registration and team allocation time.
Sponsor and artwork control
More logos require a clearer approval path.
Logo inventory
List every organizer, presenting sponsor, partner, charity, and operational mark.
Placement hierarchy
Assign front, back, sleeve, and staff placements before artwork proofing.
Color and contrast
Review garment color, sponsor requirements, readability, and production method together.
Approval ownership
Identify who has final authority for artwork, products, quantities, and deadlines.
Packing and distribution
Prepare the order for how the event will hand it out.
Separate participant products into labeled size groups.
Pack volunteer, staff, medical, media, and official apparel separately.
Organize products for registration, expo, start, finish, or aid-station distribution.
Combine selected products, accessories, stickers, or sponsor materials where required.
