Custom Printed Scarves Manufacturer – Fan Scarves & Full-Print Fleece, 1 pc MOQ

Custom Printed Scarves Made to Your Artwork

Yichi is a custom printed scarf manufacturer producing full-print scarves and fan scarves in Zhejiang, China — a 160 x 25 cm crystal fleece scarf printed edge to edge, and 150 x 15 cm and 135 x 15 cm fan scarves in polyester pongee, with a choice of four fringe colours. A free design and a rendering are produced before anything is printed. A one-piece minimum, samples in 1-3 days and production in 2-10 days apply across the range.

A scarf is one of the few promotional products that gets worn rather than stored. It goes round a neck at a match in February, it travels home in a bag, and it comes back for the next fixture. That is the commercial argument for the product, and it is also the reason the two details that matter most are the ones a buyer rarely asks about: how the fabric handles a cold afternoon, and whether the print survives the first ten washes.

Two Constructions: Full-Print Fleece and Fan Scarves

The range covers two different jobs, and they are built from different fabrics because of it.

Full-print crystal fleece scarf, 160 x 25 cm. Cut from an ultra-soft crystal fleece, a dense brushed pile. The fabric is specified as soft, fine and closely woven, with a cloud-soft handle, elastic and breathable, and it is chosen for warmth without weight — the product brief describes it as light enough to carry and warm enough for deep winter. It is a general-purpose printed scarf: brand, campaign, school, gift.

Fan scarf, 150 x 15 cm and 135 x 15 cm. Cut from polyester pongee, a light woven fabric rather than a knit, and specified against exactly the conditions a stadium scarf meets: colour-fast, lettering-fast, and resistant to wind and sun. A pongee scarf is thinner, holds crisp printed type and fine crest detail, and does not build up heat indoors — which is why it is the format used for team-and-terrace work.

Both are printed edge to edge. The design is not a small logo placed on a plain scarf. The print covers the full face of the scarf, so the artwork is planned as a complete graphic rather than as a mark on a background.

Sizes, Formats and What They Suit

The 160 x 25 cm fleece format is the longer, softer piece — 160 cm gives enough length to loop and knot, and 25 cm of width is what makes it read as a scarf rather than a band. The 150 x 15 cm fan scarf is the size that gets held overhead at a match, and 135 x 15 cm is the shorter version of the same piece; the difference between the two is reach rather than design, so the same artwork file will work on either.

Custom sizes can be quoted, and a buyer who needs a format closer to a specific garment or display should raise it at the enquiry stage — the fabric is cut to order, so a non-standard size is a cutting decision rather than a new product.

Printing: Colour Fastness and the 500-Wash Test

The print is the part of a scarf that fails first, so it is specified in three ways.

A green dye process. The printing and dyeing is described as environmentally friendly, run with green print and dye methods. For buyers working under their own environmental or procurement policy this is documented as part of the process rather than as an add-on.

Colour-fast and lettering-fast. The print is specified as not dropping colour and not dropping lettering, and as resistant to wind, sun and repeated use. On a fan scarf the printed content is usually type — a club name, a slogan, a sponsor — and a print that loses its lettering loses the whole job.

The 500-wash test. The printer runs a 500-wash test behind the process, and the technical team behind it is described as experienced print engineers. That number is the practical answer to the question every institutional buyer asks: a scarf handed out to a squad or a school intake gets washed far more often than a promotional item is expected to be, and a print that holds through a few hundred cycles keeps the item in use instead of in a drawer.

Print placement tolerance. Because scarves are laid up by hand before printing, a placement tolerance of 2-3 cm is normal and is documented as expected rather than as a fault. On a 160 cm scarf that is a small fraction of the length, and it does not affect a design that bleeds to the edge.

Fringe Colour and Finishing

The fringe is specified separately from the printed design, and four colours are offered as standard: white, black, yellow and red.

Why it is a separate choice. A scarf is generally two-toned in the hand — a printed body and a plain fringe. Matching that fringe to a club colour, a brand colour or a campaign palette is what makes the finished piece look designed rather than printed, and it costs nothing to specify.

Unisex and one format. The scarves are made as a unisex piece — one size, worn by anyone — which removes the sizing question entirely from a bulk order. A club ordering for a mixed squad or a company ordering for a mixed staff list places one order for one article.

Elastic, soft-hand fabric. The fleece is specified as elastic and silky to the touch, which is what allows a 160 cm length to be knotted without the fabric feeling stiff, and the pongee is light enough to fold flat for storage and despatch.

What Goes on the Scarf: Content and Design

Everything printed on the scarf is editable, which is what separates a custom order from a stock scarf with a logo added.

The content a scarf usually carries. A club name, a crest or badge, a slogan, a fixture date, a season line, sponsor marks, a player name and number, an event title, a school name and year, or a photograph or illustration for a tourism piece. Multiple elements are placed in one layout, and the layout is designed as a complete graphic across the full face rather than as a mark on a blank.

Design templates. A set of layout templates is available as a starting point, which shortens the route to a finished design for a buyer who knows what the scarf should say but not how it should be arranged. A template is a starting point, not a limit — the layout is adapted to the content supplied.

Free design and a free rendering. The layout is produced by our own design team at no charge, and a rendering of the finished scarf is issued for confirmation before production. Nothing is printed until that rendering — and, where wanted, a physical sample — has been approved.

Vector files give the best result. For a crest or a wordmark, send AI, CDR or PSD. For a photographic design, the sharper the source file, the better the finished print: a scarf is read at a distance across a terrace and close up around a neck, so it is worth supplying the highest-resolution version available.

From One Piece to a Full Squad Order

The minimum order is one piece, and there is no plate fee or setup charge attached to it. That is a deliberate arrangement rather than a promotional line.

Why one piece matters. A club secretary, a marketing manager or a school buyer can have a single scarf printed, look at the fabric, check the fringe colour against the kit, wash it, and then place the real order against a piece they have handled. It removes the risk from a decision that would otherwise be made from a screen.

No tooling cost between runs. Because the print is produced digitally rather than from a cut plate, a reorder with a changed date, a new sponsor or a new season line does not carry a tooling charge. A club that reorders every season with an updated design is not paying a setup fee each time.

Volume. Large quantities are produced, and a stadium handout, a school intake or a multi-site corporate campaign runs through the same process as the single proof piece. For a large order, confirm the required date at the enquiry stage — a deadline set by a fixture or a season start should be planned against rather than discovered later.

One article across a mixed group. The scarf is made as a unisex one-format piece, so a squad, a staff list or a year group is covered by a single order for a single article rather than by a size run.

Specifications

Where These Get Used

Sports clubs and supporters’ groups. Football, rugby, hockey and athletics clubs ordering the season’s scarf, with the crest, the club name and a sponsor mark printed on one piece. The 150 x 15 cm fan scarf is the standard format here.

Stadium, event and match-day handouts. Promoters and event teams buying scarves for a crowd, a tournament or a support campaign. Large quantities can be produced, and the artwork can be changed between events without a new tooling cost.

Schools, universities and alumni programmes. Class scarves, house scarves, graduation scarves and reunion giveaways, with the school mark and the year printed across the full face.

Corporate gifts and winter campaigns. A printed scarf as a staff or client gift that gets used through the cold months, alongside the company’s own colours. The grey area between a gift and merchandise is where this product works best.

Travel, tourism and souvenirs. Destination and landmark scarves for a city, a tour operator or a museum shop, printed from a supplied illustration or photograph.

Brand retail and resale. Buyers who need a printed scarf in their own packaging, their own colourway and their own size, including export orders and private-label runs.

Building a wider range? The same artwork direction carries onto promotional gifts — printed apparel, bags, headwear and small gift items — so a club or a campaign is produced from one supplier and one design file.

How an Order Runs

Choose the format. Confirm the scarf type (crystal fleece full-print, or polyester pongee fan scarf), the size, the quantity and the fringe colour.

Supply the print content. Send the artwork, or the text and crest to be set — club name, slogan, sponsor marks, player names and numbers. A vector file gives the sharpest result; a photograph can be used, and the sharper the source, the better the print. Everything on the scarf is editable.

Free design and rendering. The design is laid out on the scarf by our own team at no charge, and a rendering of the finished piece is produced for confirmation. A physical sample can be provided so the fabric, the fringe and the print can be checked in the hand.

Confirm and produce. Once the rendering and the sample are approved, the order goes into production.

Delivery. Produced and shipped to the agreed schedule. A date fixed by a fixture, a season start or a campaign launch should be raised at the enquiry stage so it can be planned against.

Why Order From Yichi

A printed scarf fails in three predictable ways: the fabric feels thin and scratchy, the print fades or loses its lettering within a season, or the design was never planned for a piece that is read at a distance and worn in the hand. This range is specified against all three — a dense brushed crystal fleece and a colour-fast pongee, a green dye process with a 500-wash test behind it, and full-face printing so the artwork is designed for the whole scarf rather than for a small mark.

We are a custom printed manufacturer based in Zhejiang, China, and the design, proofing and printing sit inside our own process. That is what makes a one-piece order and a free rendering practical: a club secretary can have a single scarf printed, wear it at a match, wash it, and then order for the squad against something they have actually handled. OEM work, custom sizes and custom colourways are all supported, so the same process serves a supporter group and a single proof piece.

Send the artwork, the format and the quantity through the contact page and we will come back with a quote, a free design and a sample.
