Custom shin guard buyer questions, answered

US$12–15 per pair for custom-printed guards, with custom printing, standard packaging, shipping, VAT and other import charges included. Only the applicable EU €3 customs duty is extra, and your quotation shows it separately with the exact price. Socks, sleeves, guard-and-sock sets and optional packaging are quoted separately. Read the shipping and EU duty details.

The custom-printed guard range is US$12–15 per pair with custom printing, standard packaging, shipping, VAT and other import charges included, and only the applicable EU €3 customs duty extra. For bulk orders, pricing and who covers customs duty can be negotiated: send the quantity, the number of designs, the sizes and the destination, and your quotation states the price and any change to the standard inclusions before you order. See the bulk-order terms.

Guangzhou Wangyu Dian Trading Co., Ltd., registered in Guangzhou since 2016. Its own team sublimation-prints your photo, name or number into the front shell, then assembles and packs the guards, and every pair is inspected before dispatch. The guard shells are bought from an external supplier. Wangyudian Sports is the company's English-language sales desk, one desk from your first message to delivery.

Wangyudian is a trading company in Guangzhou that prints shin guards to order. It buys the guard shells from an external supplier; its own team handles printing, assembly and packing. You deal with the same English-speaking desk from your first message to delivery: it collects your design, sends the draft for approval and issues the quotation.

There is no minimum order quantity for printing on standard catalogue guards: custom printing starts at one pair, whether you order a gift, a squad set or a shop's stock. For other products, lead time and minimum order quantity depend on the product. Single personalised pairs, team and club sets, retailer stock and full custom are quoted separately, so say which you need, how many pairs and how many designs.

Yes. Print your brand on standard catalogue guards from one pair, with neutral packaging, your brand stickers, barcodes and hangtags available. Custom boxes normally start at 500 boxes. A custom shell shape, shell colour or foam thickness is a separate tooling project with higher minimum quantities and roughly 3–6 months for development. See private label and OEM.

Plain white unprinted guards and plain white unprinted sleeves are listed options, and the stock guard WYD-SG-006 is supplied unprinted. Unprinted guards are quoted separately from the US$12–15 printed range: send the reference, sizes, quantity and destination for a quotation.

Plain white unprinted guards, plain white unprinted sleeves and a plain guard-and-sleeve set are listed options, and orders can ship straight to your end customer; your own forwarder or collect account can be used too. Send a typical order and the destination country, and the desk quotes the flow against it, including how orders and artwork reach Wangyudian and how each pair is packed. Compare the range in the product finder first.

Certificates can be applied for if needed: tell the desk which certificates and test reports your market requires before ordering, so the scope, cost and timing can be discussed. The custom shin guards have not been tested, and no product test reports are available. Every pair is inspected before dispatch. Ask the desk what can be arranged, such as a third-party pre-shipment inspection, which you appoint and pay for: see inspection and visits.

The seller named on your quotation and proforma, so you see who sells and invoices before you pay. The seller is Guangzhou Wangyu Dian Trading Co., Ltd., or RyanFulfil, the fulfilment company behind the desk, where that suits your order. Bank details are issued once, on the proforma, and never changed by email. If you receive a changed account, message the desk on WhatsApp before you pay.

No. For eligible EU consumer consignments with a total intrinsic goods value of no more than €150, the temporary duty is €3 per customs item line, so several identical pairs grouped on one line can incur €3 in total. The grouping depends on tariff classification, description and, where required, origin; sharing an HS code alone is not always enough for one item line. Separate consignments are assessed separately, and shipments above €150 follow normal customs rules, so €3 is not a bulk-order duty cap. For bulk orders, pricing and who covers customs duty can be negotiated. See the EU duty and value-limit explanation.

Yes. One personalised pair of custom shin guards is a normal order. Send the player's shin length in centimetres, the photo you want printed, the name, the number and your destination country. The desk lays out the design and sends a draft for your approval, then the pair is printed and dispatched without a separate physical sample.

Yes, for a larger order. The sample is quoted all-in, the pair and its shipping in one figure, and the sample fee may be credited back when a production order follows, on terms agreed on your quotation. For one pair or a few pairs there is no separate physical sample: approve the design draft and the order goes straight to production and dispatch. See first orders and larger-order samples.

Artwork preparation usually takes 24–48 hours. For 20–100 pairs of standard printed guards, production is usually completed in 1–3 days after artwork approval; mixed sizes and different prints on each pair do not extend this estimate. For a single personalised mini shin-guard order, production usually takes 24–48 hours after artwork approval; allow an extra day over weekends. Shipping usually takes 7–15 days after dispatch. These times are a guide: your quotation states the lead time for other products, quantities or custom development, and the shipping service for your destination. Read the production and shipping details.

Payment is by bank transfer to the seller named on your proforma. You pay the cost of goods in full when you place the order, and any other charges on your quotation in full before the goods ship. Schools, clubs and other organisations can be invoiced in the organisation's name: give the desk the name and address to put on the invoice. The receiving account is in the seller's own name, and a purchase order can be addressed to that seller. Quotations are issued in USD, EUR, GBP or SGD, and other currencies are possible.

Yes. International shipping is available. Send your destination, chosen product and quantity for a quotation. Certificates can be applied for if needed. Tell us which certificates you need when requesting a quotation. See the shipping page for production times, delivery estimates and price inclusions.

Each pair comes in a simple bag as standard, included in the price, and single-pair orders are sent in a plain mailing pouch (see the packing example). An optional storage box comes in black or grey. Neutral packaging, brand stickers, barcodes, hangtags and per-player bagging with a packing list are available. Additional packaging costs extra and is quoted before you order. The guard-and-sock set contains 1 pair of shin guards and 1 pair of socks. Transit times by destination are on the shipping page.

Yes. Photos, text, a team badge or logo, a name and a number can all be printed on the front shell. Use the same photo on both guards, or two different photos, one on each, and leave out any of the photo, the name or the number. Put extra instructions in the notes with your order. Personalised designs are also ordered as gifts, collectibles, keepsakes, commemorations and expressions of personal beliefs. Plain white unprinted guards are a listed option too.

Player names, numbers and team emblems are usually permitted, while IFAB Law 4 prohibits political, religious or personal messages and images on players' equipment, and competition rules may further restrict size, number and placement. For match use, agree your exact artwork with the competition organiser before ordering: approving the print draft settles the print only, not match eligibility. Gifts and keepsakes are separate uses. See the IFAB Law 4 artwork guidance.

Send only images, names and logos you own or have permission to use. If a design looks like it belongs to someone else, the desk will ask before printing. Your own photo, your name and your number are the simplest design to send. Read the rights note in how customisation works before you send a club crest or a team emblem.

Full-size guards: XS 14 × 7.5 cm, S 17 × 8 cm, M 19 × 9 cm; M is the largest. Mini guards: Mini XS 8 × 5 cm, Mini S 10 × 6 cm, Mini M 12 × 8 cm. All figures are length × width, measured flat. To choose, send the player's shin length in centimetres and age; for a squad, one measurement per player and the desk returns the size mix. Kids usually take XS or S, teenagers S, adults M.

Adults usually take full-size M, which is the largest size at 19 × 9 cm (length × width, measured flat). Kids usually take XS or S and teenagers S. Measure the shin to choose; the size guide gives every size in centimetres.

The catalogue guards are slip-in (sock-fit): they are worn inside the sock without a strap, and strapped or ankle-protection guards are not among the catalogue references. See the size guide for the guard sizes in centimetres.

S is intended for children, M for teenagers and adults, and L for adults. These are broad labels rather than measured calf-circumference ranges, and there is no fixed guard-to-sleeve size pairing, so choose each size separately. Sleeves are optional: some buyers place guards directly inside their socks. S and M are usually sold; ask about L availability. See sleeve options.

Yes. Every pair is inspected before dispatch. Tell the desk any specific inspection requirements before ordering. For product testing and reports, see the certificates answer above.

Wangyudian's internal team can access the retained design files. Files are not shared outside the company without your consent. Designs are kept for six months, with each repeat order starting a new six-month period, and are deleted by default when that period ends. A repeat order still receives a new draft for approval before production. See design retention.

Smooth and honeycomb guards have the same thickness; their surface style differs. Frosted guards are thinner and mainly intended for collections and keepsakes. Exact shell and foam thicknesses depend on the selected option; ask the desk for the option you want before ordering. See the surface and size guide.

Small differences in print position can occur because the work is done by hand. Your design draft shows the layout; agree any critical alignment requirements before production. Guard measurements are listed separately in the size guide.

The printed guards are a PP shell with a soft EVA foam liner filling the back. The front shell is printed and the black liner sits inside the shell rim. The guard is slip-in (sock-fit) and is worn without a strap. The plain stock guard WYD-SG-006 is listed as acrylic. Full-size guards come as a left and a right; use the size guide before ordering. If a material matters to you, ask for it in writing on the quotation.

Send your photos through WhatsApp or email sales@wangyudian.com: an ordinary picture, and your name or wording as copyable text. Clearer pictures give better print results, but there is no minimum resolution; a less clear picture can be used if you accept its appearance in the design draft. Wangyudian prepares and crops the artwork to the guard shape, so some parts of a rectangular picture may be left out. You do not need a print template. Long names can be made smaller or split over lines, with no fixed character limit, and text in any language can be copied from what you send. Approve the crop, spelling and layout on the draft before production. See the artwork guide.

Up to two standard design preparations are free. If you confirm two designs without placing an order, each further design preparation costs US$2. Agree any charge with the desk before additional design work starts.

Do not wash the guards or expose them to high heat. Machine washing is not recommended for the sleeves; keep them away from high heat too. The design is sublimation-printed into the front shell. For a larger order, a sample can be agreed to see the print and finish before the main run.

The desk arranges a replacement or refund for a lost or undelivered order. Send your order reference and any tracking information, and agree the resolution with the desk. See the delivery help.

If the fault is Wangyudian's, a misprint or a wrong size against your list, you can choose a replacement or refund, and Wangyudian covers the related shipping costs. Message the desk with photos and your order reference; report transit damage the same way, with photos of the parcel and the pair. Changes after you approve the draft are not normally possible, so read the draft closely before approving.

Yes. Each order can have its own customer design. Mini shin guards can be ordered from one pair and shipped directly to individual customers, including customers in Europe. Agree how orders, artwork approvals, packing and shipment details will be passed to the desk before starting. See the personalised store-order guide.

Guangzhou Wangyu Dian Trading Co., Ltd. is registered in Guangzhou, and the country of origin is China. Ask the desk what can be arranged: a video call, a visit, or a third-party pre-shipment inspection, which you appoint and pay for. Say what you want looked at and when, and the desk answers before you place the order. Read the company page for how an order runs from design to delivery.
