Honest Spec Notes

Fabric: A 4-way-stretch poly-spandex compression knit with UPF sun protection, the same fabric family as the compression shirt. It grips the arm with light compression and a silicone band at the top so it stays up through a full game.

Decoration: Decoration is full-color sublimation, which stretches with the sleeve. solid team colors, gradients, or a small logo near the top. We do not recommend embroidery or tackle twill on the stretch knit. the stitches pop as the fabric flexes. Color-match the sleeve to the rest of the uniform.

Fit: Sized by bicep circumference, not body size, with a silicone gripper that holds the sleeve up. The light compression should feel snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation. Pricing is per sleeve, so order two for a matched pair. one for each arm.

Decoration Options for Your Arm Sleeve

Decoration is full-color sublimation, which stretches with the sleeve. solid team colors, gradients, or a small logo near the top. We keep embroidery and tackle twill off the stretch knit, where the stitches pop.

Sublimation

Endless design at no extra cost. Full-color designs become part of the poly-spandex and stretch with the sleeve, so they never crack or peel. Run solid team colors, gradients, or a small top logo. Color-match the rest of the uniform exactly.

Heat-Transfer Logo — small top mark

A small heat-transfer logo or initials near the top of the sleeve, applied flat so it flexes with the fabric. We do not recommend embroidery or tackle twill on the 4-way stretch. the stitches pop as the sleeve moves.

Best for:A small team logo or initials near the top, simple identification on a stretch sleeve

Screen Printing

Flat-color print can place a simple mark, but it can crack as the stretch fabric flexes. For anything on an arm sleeve, sublimation is the better method and is built into the price.

Best for:A simple single-color mark where stretch is minimal

Logo & Number Placement Options

  • Full sleeve: solid team color, gradient, or sublimated pattern
  • Top of sleeve (bicep): small team logo or initials
  • Wrist: optional contrast accent color
  • No embroidery on the stretch knit. decoration is sublimation only

Softball Arm Sleeve FAQ

The questions teams and players ask before ordering arm sleeves. answered for pair pricing, sun protection, sizing by bicep, and keeping the sleeve up.

Are softball arm sleeves sold as a pair or singly?
Pricing is per sleeve, so order two if you want a matched pair, one for each arm. Many players wear just one on the throwing arm, so you can order singles or pairs depending on the roster. Note the quantity per player in your quote.
What are the arm sleeves for?
Three things: UPF sun protection across the arm during long games and doubleheaders, light compression to support circulation, and a finished team look. Pitchers wear them on the throwing arm, fielders and hitters wear them for sun and style. They sublimate to match the rest of the uniform.
Will the sleeve stay up during a game?
Yes. A silicone gripper band at the top of the sleeve holds it in place at the bicep, so it does not slide down mid-game. Size by the bicep measurement in the chart for the right grip. a sleeve sized too large will slide.
How do we size them?
By bicep circumference, not body size. Measure around the widest part of the bicep and pick the size from the table. the youth through 2XL range covers most players. The light compression should feel snug but never tight enough to restrict circulation.
Can we color-match them to the rest of the uniform?
Yes. We sublimate the arm sleeves in the same colorway as your compression shirt, jerseys, and the rest of the kit, in the same production batch. Solid team colors, gradients, and a small logo all work. embroidery is not used on the stretch fabric.
What is the minimum order?
There is no minimum. Order from a single sleeve up. Tier-1 pricing covers 1-20 pieces at the same per-piece rate, with five additional volume brackets giving deeper discounts up to 1,000 pieces.
What is the production and delivery timeline?
Production runs about two weeks from artwork approval. Tracked door-to-door shipping to 50+ countries adds 4-7 business days, putting your custom softball arm sleeves in your team's hands inside three weeks of sign-off. Rush production available on request.
