Black half-finger training gloves showing back opening and palm padding

Choose the palm and wrist for the training

Short wrist closure: For a compact glove with an adjustable wrist fit; approve entry and movement on the sample. Extended wrist strap: For projects requesting more wrist coverage or support; suitability depends on the training use and sample. Palm cushioning: Map bar or machine contact before choosing foam, reinforcement and silicone grip coverage.

Panel Assembly and Branding for Fitness Gloves

The production team assembles cut pieces, palm components and branding into the finished fitness glove.

Sewing Across Different Components

Fabric panels, reinforcement pieces and wrist parts share one sewing workflow, keeping the design consistent across material joins.

Raised Silicone Palm Printing

Custom silicone printing adds a raised palm surface. GloveWise develops the pattern with the sewn palm components.

Matching or Contrasting Stitch Colors

Custom thread colors can keep panel joins understated or make contrasting seams a design feature beyond the logo.

Map the Palm Before Choosing Cushioning

Mark where the glove contacts equipment and where wear or pressure is expected. Set reinforcement, foam, and grip print in one palm layout, then evaluate the sample with the intended equipment.

  • Equipment Contact Zone
    For repeated bar, handle, or machine contact, mark the main palm contact area on a drawing or reference sample.
  • Palm Reinforcement
    For areas needing added wear management, confirm the location, shape, and edge construction on the sample.
  • Foam Padding Placement
    Specify cushioning zones rather than general padding; final feel depends on the approved material and construction.
  • Anti-Slip Silicone Print
    Confirm artwork, coverage, surface compatibility, and sample feel for the intended grip pattern.

Build the Half-Finger Fit From Measurements

Align palm fit, finger openings and wrist position using a target-market size chart, then check the graded half-finger sample.

  • Palm Circumference
    Provide the measurement method and target values for each size.
  • Finger Length
    Check coverage and edge position on the intended hand-size range.
  • Overall Length
    Measure from agreed reference points and record the approved sample.
  • Wrist Opening
    Confirm the opening with the selected wrist construction.
  • S–XXL Range
    Confirm the size curve and quantity ratio before production.
  • Special Sizes
    New measurements, grading, and sample approval may affect MOQ and timing.

Plan the Back Hand for Movement and Airflow

Select back-hand material and panel layout together so movement does not shift the palm. Approve stretch, seams, color and ventilation on the sample.

  • Nylon
    For a textile back-hand base; final construction, weight, and color are project-specific.
  • Spandex
    For stretch around hand movement; confirm recovery, panel direction, and fit in the approved sample.
  • Breathable Mesh Panel
    Confirm placement, opacity, seams, and compatibility with Logo placement.

Match the Logo Method to the Glove Surface

Provide vector artwork and dimensions to review the logo method before sampling. Artwork, color count, placement, size and surface affect clarity.

  • Screen Printing
    Confirm ink colors, print area, and surface compatibility.
  • Heat Transfer
    Confirm transfer size, edge, color, and panel heat compatibility.
  • Hot Press or Embossing
    Confirm depth, contrast, tooling, and material response.
  • Embroidery
    Confirm stitch detail, backing, thickness, and comfort.
  • Silicone Printing
    Confirm artwork line width, height, color, and placement.
  • Sublimation
    Confirm printable material, artwork scale, color reference, and panel boundaries.

Approve the Sample With the Intended Equipment

Test the sample during the intended movement and with the intended equipment. Check palm bunching, cushioning position, finger-edge comfort, back-hand movement, wrist closure, Logo feel, and packaging details. Record approved measurements, materials, construction, colors, labels, and packaging for production.

Custom Fitness Gloves FAQ

Choose by the intended movement, wrist coverage and user preference. A short closure is more compact; an extended strap changes coverage and support. Check fit, flexibility and comfort during the actual training movement.
GloveWise can review contact zones, foam placement, palm reinforcement and silicone prints. Check sample grip and movement on the intended equipment; more padding is not always better.
S–XXL and special measurements can be reviewed for half-finger styles. Provide your size chart and artwork so the palm fit, finger openings, wrist position, logo and packaging can be approved together.
MOQ is usually 500 pairs, depending on materials, construction, sizes, branding and packing. Samples generally take 5–10 working days; bulk production usually takes 20–30 working days after written sample and specification approval and the required deposit. Testing, revisions, quantity and scheduling can change these ranges. Shipping time is separate.
