Shin Guards
Work
Creating personalized football shin guards for soccer players follows a clear process: choose the product, upload design content, add a name or number, review the preview, approve, then move to production and shipping.

Short Answer
The custom shin guard process has six main stages: choose carbon fiber or PP plastic and a size, upload your photo or artwork, add a name, number, or text, review the design preview, complete the required approval step, and then move to production and delivery. Orders can start from one pair, subject to the applicable minimum order value.
01Product Choice
Start with the base
Choose Your Material
Start by choosing the product you want to customize. SAIWEI SPORTS currently offers two material routes. Both support photos, names, jersey numbers, text, artwork, and different images on the left and right guards.
The two materials use different product dimensions, so choose the material first and then review the relevant size.

Upload Your Photo or Artwork
Provide the image or artwork that should appear on the guards. You can submit your own photo, artwork, an authorized logo or design, the same image for both guards, or different left and right images.
Use the clearest source file available. Small, blurry, heavily compressed, or screenshot images can reduce the usable detail for layout and production.

03Personalization
Build the visible layout
Add Name, Number or Text
After the main image or artwork is selected, add any personalization that should be part of the layout. Enter spelling and numbers exactly as you want them shown.
The design preview is the point where the visible layout should be checked before production.

Process FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The answers below stay within the confirmed workflow. Live approval and shipping rules take precedence if operations change.
How does the custom shin guard process work?
Choose carbon fiber or PP plastic and a size, upload your photo or artwork, add any name, number, or text, review the design preview, complete the required approval step, and then move to production and shipping. The detailed approval rules and production timing follow the current live order workflow.
When do I upload my photo or artwork?
Upload the photo or artwork during the customization stage before the design preview is finalized. Use the clearest source image available and follow the current artwork requirements. If the file does not meet production requirements, the artwork workflow should explain what needs to be corrected.
Can I change my design after seeing the proof?
Changes are handled according to the current proof and approval policy. If the preview shows a spelling, number, crop, or layout issue, use the change options provided in the live workflow before final approval. This page does not promise unlimited revisions.
When does production start?
Production starts only after all required pre-production conditions have been completed. The exact trigger must match SAIWEI SPORTS’ real operating procedure. The current target is 24-hour production, excluding weekends and holidays.
Where can I see shipping times?
Use the Shipping page for the full US, UK, and Australia delivery policy. Current express delivery by DHL/FedEx is listed as 4–8 business days, while economy sea freight is listed as 25–40 business days. The Shipping page remains the source of truth if rates or transit estimates change.
