Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys — Full-Dye Edge-to-Edge Printing

Vibrant, no-fade sublimated jerseys with complete color coverage. MOQ from 100 pieces, full in-house sublimation, and 28+ years of team apparel expertise.

What Makes Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys Stand Out

Full-dye sublimation delivers performance, durability and design freedom that screen print and heat transfer simply cannot match — ideal for teams, leagues and custom apparel brands.

Edge-to-Edge Full Coverage

Ink penetrates every inch of fabric — sleeves, shoulders, side panels — with zero white gaps or print boundaries that limit your design.

Unlimited Color & Gradients

Reproduce photographic detail, gradients, shadows and team logos in full color without per-color upcharges or screen fees.

No Cracking or Peeling

Dye becomes part of the polyester fiber — not a surface layer — so graphics stay vibrant through hundreds of washes and heavy play.

Lightweight Breathable Performance

Sublimation adds zero weight or hand-feel; moisture-wicking mesh stays soft, flexible and cool under game conditions.

Names & Numbers Integrated

Player names, numbers and sponsor logos print in one pass — no separate tackle twill, no layering, no extra decoration time.

Fast Turnaround at Low MOQ

SELMOND’s in-house sublimation line produces full-dye jerseys from just 100 pieces, with artwork proofs in 24–48 hours.

Dye Sublimation Process for Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Disperse Dye Ink Chemistry & Color Fastness

SELMOND uses high-grade disperse dye sublimation inks formulated for polyester bonding and superior wash-fastness. These inks transition from solid to gas under heat, embedding pigment molecules directly into polyester fibers rather than sitting on the surface. The result is vibrant, permanent color that resists cracking, peeling, fading and ghosting through dozens of laundry cycles.

  • Disperse dye inks engineered for polyester fiber bonding and molecular integration
  • No surface coating — color becomes part of the fabric, eliminating peel and crack
  • Wash-fast and fade-resistant through 50+ industrial laundry cycles
  • Full CMYK capability for photographic gradients and team logos
Disperse Dye Ink Chemistry & Color Fastness

Polyester Fabric Weight & Weave Selection

Sublimation quality begins with the right base fabric. SELMOND sources 140–180 GSM polyester tricot, mesh and interlock knits from trusted mills, each optimized for ink absorption, breathability and athletic performance. Heavier weights deliver richer saturation and opacity; lighter meshes maximize ventilation. Every fabric is pre-treated to ensure uniform dye uptake and color consistency across the entire jersey.

  • 140–180 GSM polyester tricot, mesh and interlock from certified Chinese mills
  • Pre-treated for uniform ink absorption and edge-to-edge color consistency
  • Moisture-wicking, breathable construction for on-field performance
  • Fabric weight tailored to design complexity, opacity needs and team budget

Heat-Press Temperature, Pressure & Dwell Time

Precision curing is where sublimation succeeds or fails. SELMOND’s dedicated sublimation stations maintain heat-press temperatures between 190–210°C with calibrated pressure and dwell times of 45–60 seconds per panel. Real-time monitoring and humidity-controlled environments prevent under-curing, color shift and bleed. Every jersey panel is pressed individually, inspected and allowed to cool flat before assembly.

  • Calibrated heat presses operating at 190–210°C with digital temperature control
  • 45–60 second dwell time per panel, adjusted for fabric weight and ink load
  • Humidity-controlled production floor to prevent moisture interference and color bleed
  • Individual panel inspection post-cure to catch registration errors before cut-and-sew
Heat-Press Temperature, Pressure & Dwell Time

Registration Tolerance & Edge-to-Edge Coverage

Full-dye sublimation demands tight registration — artwork must align perfectly with cut lines, seams and panel edges. SELMOND’s pre-production workflow includes digital pattern nesting, bleed-zone calculation and strike-off proofing to verify that graphics, numbers and logos land exactly where intended. Registration tolerance is held to ±2 mm, ensuring clean seams, no white gaps and professional edge-to-edge coverage on every custom sublimated baseball jersey.

  • ±2 mm registration tolerance maintained through digital pattern nesting and bleed zones
  • Strike-off proofs produced before bulk to verify artwork placement and seam alignment
  • Edge-to-edge coverage with no white gaps at shoulders, sides or collar seams
  • Pre-production artwork review catches registration issues before fabric is printed

Production Sequence

Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys Production Flow — From Art to Finished Jersey

SELMOND‘s in-house sublimation line follows a seven-phase quality-controlled sequence that transforms approved artwork into full-dye custom sublimated baseball jerseys with edge-to-edge color, sharp graphics and durable heat-set ink that won’t crack, fade or peel.

Phase 1

Artwork Approval & File Prep

Design team converts client artwork into sublimation-ready vector files, adjusts colors for heat transfer, prepares full-size panel layouts and sends digital proofs for final approval.

Phase 2

Fabric Sourcing & Pre-Treatment

White or light-colored polyester sublimation fabric is sourced, inspected for defects, pre-treated if needed and cut into jersey panels ready for printing.

Phase 3

Sublimation Ink Printing

Approved artwork is printed onto transfer paper using specialized dye-sublimation inks that will convert to gas under heat and bond permanently with polyester fibers.

Phase 4

Heat-Press Transfer & Curing

Printed transfer paper is aligned on fabric panels, placed in industrial heat press at controlled temperature and pressure, allowing sublimation ink to penetrate and set.

Phase 5

Cut, Sew & Assembly

Sublimated panels are cut to pattern, sewn into finished jerseys with ribbed collars, sleeves and hems, reinforced seams and any additional tackle-twill or embroidered elements.

Phase 6

Quality Inspection & Testing

Every finished jersey undergoes color-match verification, stitch integrity check, measurement audit and wash-fastness spot test before moving to packing.

Phase 7

Labeling, Packing & Export

Approved jerseys receive custom labels, hang tags and care instructions, are folded or hung per client spec and packed for international shipment with full export documentation.

Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity for custom sublimated baseball jerseys?
SELMOND’s MOQ starts at just 100 pieces per style and colorway. This low threshold lets sports teams, clubs, startups and independent designers test designs, reduce inventory risk, and launch capsule collections without committing to thousands of units.
What fabrics work best for custom sublimated baseball jerseys?
Dye sublimation requires 100% polyester or high-polyester-blend fabrics. SELMOND uses performance polyester tricot, mesh and interlock knits engineered for sublimation — they accept ink cleanly, wick moisture, hold color through repeated washing, and deliver the lightweight, breathable feel teams expect in modern baseball jerseys. Cotton and cotton-blend fabrics are not compatible with sublimation.
Is there a limit on colors or design complexity for custom sublimated baseball jerseys?
No. Full-dye sublimation is a digital heat-transfer process, so jerseys support unlimited colors, gradients, photographic images and edge-to-edge graphics at no additional cost per color. Design complexity does not affect pricing or production time.
Can I combine sublimation with embroidery or tackle-twill on custom sublimated baseball jerseys?
Yes. SELMOND routinely combines full-dye sublimation with embroidered logos, chenille patches, tackle-twill names and numbers, and woven or leather patches. The sublimated base is printed and cured first, then cut, sewn and decorated with embroidery or appliqué. This layered approach adds texture, dimension and premium branding.
What file format and resolution do you need for custom sublimated baseball jerseys artwork?
SELMOND prefers vector files — AI, EPS or PDF — for logos and type, and high-resolution raster files — PSD, TIFF or PNG at 300 dpi minimum — for photos and complex graphics. If you supply only a sketch, photo or low-res file, our in-house design team will redraw, vectorize and scale your artwork to production-ready specs.
How long does production take for custom sublimated baseball jerseys?
Lead time for bulk production is typically 25–35 days after artwork approval and deposit, depending on order size and decoration complexity. Pre-production samples ship in 7–10 days. Rush production is available for urgent team deadlines. SELMOND keeps patterns, artwork files and fabric records on file to accelerate re-orders.
Do custom sublimated baseball jerseys fade or crack after washing?
No. Sublimation ink bonds at the molecular level with polyester fibers under heat and pressure, becoming part of the fabric rather than sitting on top. Jerseys from SELMOND retain full color vibrancy, sharpness and softness through dozens of wash cycles without cracking, peeling or fading — unlike screen print or heat-transfer vinyl.
What is the cost for a pre-production sample of custom sublimated baseball jerseys?
Pre-production samples are charged at cost — typically USD 50–80 per piece depending on decoration complexity — and ship within 7–10 days. Sample fees are often credited back against your bulk order deposit once production is confirmed. SELMOND also provides digital artwork proofs and decoration strike-offs at no charge before sampling.
Can custom sublimated baseball jerseys include player names and numbers?
Absolutely. Player names and numbers can be sublimated directly into the jersey fabric for a seamless, lightweight finish, or added as tackle-twill or heat-transfer appliqué for a traditional raised look. SELMOND supports mixed decoration — sublimated body graphics with tackle-twill numbers, embroidered logos and individual player names — all managed in-house for consistent quality across the full roster.
Buyer's Guide

The Complete Buyer’s Guide to Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

This guide walks you through everything you need to know about custom sublimated baseball jerseys—from fabric choices and decoration methods to supplier vetting criteria and common pitfalls—so you can source high-quality team uniforms with confidence.

1. What Are Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys?

Custom sublimated baseball jerseys use dye-sublimation printing, a heat-transfer process that converts solid dye into gas and bonds it permanently into polyester fibers at the molecular level. Unlike screen printing or tackle twill, sublimation deposits no ink layer on the fabric surface — the color becomes part of the thread itself, eliminating cracking, peeling or fading even after hundreds of washes.

Sublimation supports unlimited colors, gradients and photorealistic graphics across the entire garment without added weight or texture. A single jersey can carry full-bleed team logos, player names, numbers, sponsor panels and background patterns in one production pass, making it the preferred method for brands that need complex, eye-catching designs without per-color setup fees or minimum order penalties.

The process requires polyester or polyester-blend moisture-wicking fabrics, typically 140–180 GSM tricot or mesh, which keep players dry and comfortable during play. Because no plastisol or vinyl sits on the surface, sublimated jerseys remain lightweight, breathable and soft to the touch — critical for performance apparel worn under high-intensity conditions.

2. Evolution of Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Traditional baseball jerseys used wool flannel and later cotton twill through the 1980s, requiring tackle-twill appliqué or screen-printed numbers and names. Decoration was labor-intensive, limited to solid colors, and prone to cracking or peeling after repeated wash cycles.

Dye-sublimation printing entered team sports in the late 1990s and early 2000s when digital textile printers matured and polyester moisture-wicking fabrics became standard. The process bonds ink into fiber at the molecular level, eliminating the weight, stiffness and durability issues of layered tackle twill or heat transfers.

By the mid-2000s, digital sublimation democratized custom team apparel by removing traditional screen-setup costs and color-separation fees. Teams could order full-color photographic logos, gradient backgrounds and player-specific names in runs as small as 12–15 pieces, making custom sublimated baseball jerseys accessible to youth leagues, club teams and independent brands.

Today sublimation dominates complex graphics — multi-color crests, sponsor panels, camouflage and all-over patterns — while tackle twill remains preferred for traditional block numbers and chenille lettering on wool-body varsity pieces where texture and heritage matter more than photographic detail.

3. Types of Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Custom sublimated baseball jerseys are manufactured in five core silhouettes, each suited to different league levels, budgets and team aesthetics. Sublimation prints edge-to-edge on all cuts, but panel shapes, placket types and sleeve construction affect layout, fit and perceived formality.

Full-Button Front Jersey

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-27

Full-button jerseys run seven to nine buttons from collar to hem and deliver the most traditional game-day look. Adult competitive leagues and high-school varsity teams favor this cut for its professional appearance. Sublimation covers the entire front panel, and button plackets are typically sewn over the print or integrated into a vertical seam.

Two-Button Henley Jersey

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-29

Two-button henley styles place a short placket at the neckline, balancing cost and classic aesthetics. Youth leagues and recreational teams choose henleys to reduce hardware expense while retaining a buttoned detail. The larger unbroken front panel simplifies complex gradient and logo placement during sublimation.

Pullover Jersey

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-3

Pullover designs eliminate plackets entirely, offering the lowest per-piece cost and fastest turnaround. Practice squads, summer camps and promotional giveaways rely on pullovers to maximize team-set budgets. Sublimation enjoys uninterrupted front real estate, ideal for sponsor blocks and oversized team names.

Sleeveless Jersey

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-30

Sleeveless cuts remove fabric weight and enhance arm mobility in warm climates. Softball leagues, training sessions and beach tournaments adopt sleeveless jerseys for ventilation. Sublimation wraps shoulder seams cleanly, and ribbed or bound armholes prevent edge curl after repeated washing.

Raglan-Sleeve Jersey

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-31

Raglan construction runs the sleeve seam diagonally from underarm to collar, creating a distinct two-tone or contrasting-panel aesthetic. Travel teams and custom apparel brands use raglan styles to differentiate their look. The angled seam requires careful artwork alignment but showcases color blocking that flat-panel cuts cannot achieve.

4. Materials and Fabrics for Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Sublimation printing demands 100% polyester because dye molecules bond chemically to polyester fibers under heat, creating permanent, edge-to-edge graphics that never crack or peel. Fabric weight (GSM) and knit structure determine breathability, durability and on-field performance.

Fabric TypeGSM RangeBreathabilityDurabilityTypical Use
Moisture-Wicking Mesh100–120ExcellentModerateHot climates, high-intensity play
Interlock Knit120–140GoodHighFull-color designs, opacity needed
Bird’s-Eye Mesh110–130Very GoodHighAll-around performance, team sets

Why 100% Polyester Is Required

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-32

Sublimation ink vaporizes under heat and pressure, penetrating polyester fibers at the molecular level. Cotton, blends and natural fibers lack the polymer structure to accept sublimation dye, resulting in faded or absent graphics.

SELMOND sources 100% polyester tricot mesh, interlock and bird’s-eye knits from trusted Chinese mills, ensuring consistent dye uptake and color vibrancy across every jersey in a team set.

GSM and Fabric Weight Selection

GSM (grams per square meter) balances breathability and durability. Lightweight 100–120 GSM mesh maximizes airflow for hot climates and high-intensity play. Mid-weight 120–140 GSM interlock offers structure and opacity for designs with large white or light areas, preventing show-through.

SELMOND recommends 110–130 GSM moisture-wicking mesh for most custom sublimated baseball jerseys, striking the optimal balance between comfort, durability and professional appearance through repeated laundering.

Performance Finishes and Treatments

Anti-microbial treatments inhibit odor-causing bacteria during extended wear, while UV-resistant finishes protect both fabric and sublimated graphics from sun degradation. These optional treatments add minimal cost but extend garment lifespan and player comfort.

SELMOND applies performance finishes during fabric pre-treatment or post-production, with samples and strike-offs provided before bulk runs to confirm hand-feel, moisture management and color fastness meet team or brand standards.

5. Customization and Decoration Options for Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Sublimation unlocks design freedom that traditional decoration methods cannot match. Full-color gradients, photo-realistic logos, individual player names and numbers, and edge-to-edge all-over prints are all achievable without setup fees or color limits.

MethodColor RangeDurabilityBest For
SublimationUnlimitedPermanent dyeFull-color designs, gradients
Embroidery15+ thread colorsHighLogos, small text
Tackle TwillSolid fabricsVery highNumbers, names
Screen Print1–6 colorsGoodSimple graphics, bulk runs

Design Capabilities of Sublimation

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-33

Dye sublimation supports unlimited colors, gradients, photographic elements and complex patterns in a single print run. SELMOND’s sublimation floor handles full-dye jerseys with sponsor patches, player names, numbers and team logos integrated into the fabric, ensuring no cracking, peeling or fade after repeated wash cycles.

All-over prints, including camouflage, geometric patterns and branded backgrounds, run edge to edge without ghosting when proper polyester mesh or tricot fabrics are specified.

Artwork File Requirements

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-34

Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are preferred for logos and text to maintain sharpness at any scale. Raster images (PNG, TIFF) must be supplied at 300 dpi minimum, saved in CMYK or Pantone color profiles to ensure accurate color matching.

SELMOND’s design team digitizes sketches, photos or low-resolution files into production-ready artwork, providing full-color proofs and decoration strike-offs before bulk production begins.

Add-On Decoration Methods

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-35

Embroidered patches, chenille letters and reflective heat-transfer elements can be layered onto sublimated jerseys for dimensional branding. Tackle-twill numbers in single, double or triple layers add durability and a premium look, while woven or leather patches elevate sponsor visibility and team identity.

6. Key Quality Indicators in Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Quality separates a jersey that holds up for a season from one that fades, splits or puckers after three washes. Evaluating stitching, print integrity, fabric hand and fit grading before bulk production prevents costly re-runs and protects brand reputation.

Stitching and Seam Construction

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-36

Flatlock seams lie flat against skin, eliminate chafing and are standard for performance jerseys; overlock (serged) seams are cheaper but create a raised ridge. Reinforced bar-tacks or double-needle stitching at shoulders, underarms and sleeve hems prevent blowouts during play.

Check pre-production samples for consistent stitch density (12–14 stitches per inch), no skipped stitches and secure thread ends.

Fabric Integrity and Fit Grading

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-38

Moisture-wicking polyester should feel smooth, not plasticky; 140–160 GSM tricot or mesh offers the best balance of durability and breathability. Pilling, snagging or stiff hand-feel signal low-grade yarn.

Fit grading must scale proportionally across sizes — chest, sleeve and length increments should follow a consistent grade rule (typically 2-inch steps). Order strike-off samples in S, M, L and XXL to verify sizing consistency before bulk runs.

7. How to Choose a Manufacturer for Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Selecting the right partner for custom sublimated baseball jerseys means balancing cost, capability and reliability. A clear vetting framework — covering MOQ, certifications, sampling and support — protects your brand and timeline from costly surprises.

MOQ and Pricing Transparency

Minimum order quantities range from 100 pieces at flexible Chinese manufacturers to 500–1,000 at domestic or larger overseas facilities. SELMOND starts at 100 pieces per style/color, letting brands test designs and reduce inventory risk.

Request itemized quotes that separate fabric, decoration, trims and shipping. Transparent pricing prevents hidden fees and simplifies re-order budgeting for growing teams and brands.

Production Capabilities and Lead Times

In-house cut-and-sew plus decoration — embroidery, sublimation, tackle-twill — ensures faster turnarounds and tighter quality control than brokers. SELMOND’s 80,000-piece monthly capacity supports both small launches and scaled team orders.

Typical lead times run 25–35 days after sample approval. Confirm whether patterns, artwork files and trims stay on file to speed re-orders and maintain consistency across seasons.

Certifications and Compliance

ISO 9001, WRAP and BSCI certifications signal factory commitment to quality systems, labor standards and social compliance. These matter for brands selling into retail, schools or corporate accounts that audit supply chains.

OEKO-TEX or similar fabric certifications add value when marketing to youth leagues or eco-conscious customers, though they remain optional for most team apparel.

Sampling Process and Design Support

Expect artwork proofs, decoration strike-offs and at least one physical sample before bulk production. SELMOND provides full design support — digitizing logos, grading sizes and developing tech packs — whether you start with a finished file or only a sketch.

Sampling fees typically run 50–150 USD per piece and are often refunded or credited against the first bulk order, confirming the factory’s confidence in winning your business.

8. Common Mistakes When Ordering Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Even experienced buyers make costly errors when ordering custom sublimated baseball jerseys. Understanding the most common pitfalls — from artwork resolution to lead-time planning — helps you avoid delays, reprints and budget overruns.

Submitting Low-Resolution Artwork

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-39

Sublimation prints every pixel directly into polyester fiber, so artwork below 150 DPI appears pixelated and blurred. Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) scale infinitely and produce the sharpest edges for logos, numbers and text.

Always request a digital proof or strike-off before bulk production. SELMOND’s design team digitizes logos and provides full-color proofs to confirm clarity across all jersey panels.

Skipping Pre-Production Samples

custom baseball jersey sublimated team baseball jersey — product-jerseys-4

A sample confirms fabric hand, fit, decoration placement and true color on polyester before committing to hundreds of pieces. Skipping this step leads to size disputes, color mismatches and costly re-orders.

SELMOND produces sample garments with full decoration so you can verify every detail — from shoulder seam placement to number sizing — before bulk cutting begins.

Ignoring Size-Chart Differences

Asian-market sizing typically runs one to two sizes smaller than US or EU charts. Ordering ‘Medium’ without comparing chest, length and sleeve measurements results in garments too tight for your roster.

Request a detailed size chart with pit-to-pit, center-back length and sleeve measurements in both inches and centimeters, and cross-reference against your team’s actual body data.

Underestimating Lead Times

Full-dye sublimation requires artwork approval, fabric printing, panel cutting, sewing, quality control and international shipping — typically 25 to 35 days from deposit to delivery. Rush orders during peak season (March to June) add cost and risk.

Place orders at least six weeks before your event or launch date, and confirm every milestone in writing to avoid last-minute air-freight charges.

9. Pricing and Cost Breakdown for Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Custom sublimated baseball jerseys typically range from $18 to $45 per unit depending on order quantity, fabric grade and design complexity. Full-dye sublimation carries no per-color upcharge — unlimited colors print at the same cost — but all-over prints require more fabric prep than front-panel-only designs, adding $2–4 per piece.

SELMOND’s 100-piece MOQ unlocks volume pricing that drops unit cost by 30–40% compared to 12-piece minimums common at local decorators. Fabric grade drives the next tier: 140 GSM polyester tricot starts around $18–22, while 180 GSM moisture-wicking interlock runs $28–35, and premium 200 GSM textured mesh tops $38–45.

Add-ons stack predictably: tackle-twill numbers add $3–5 per jersey, individual names $4–6, chenille patches $6–10, and woven labels $0.50–1.50. Shipping for 100 jerseys averages $150–250 via sea freight (25–35 days) or $400–600 air express (7–10 days), bringing landed cost per unit to $20–48 depending on configuration and speed.

10. Steps to Launch Your Brand with Custom Sublimated Baseball Jerseys

Launching a custom apparel brand with custom sublimated baseball jerseys requires a clear roadmap from concept to first shipment. SELMOND’s 28-year B2B framework and 100-piece MOQ let first-time entrepreneurs test markets, refine designs and scale without heavy inventory risk.

Define Your Target Market

Identify whether you serve youth leagues, adult recreational teams, fan merchandise or tournament collections. Each segment dictates fabric weight, sizing range and decoration complexity.

Youth leagues favor moisture-wicking polyester mesh, while fan merchandise often uses fashion-cut tricot with bold graphics. Adult rec teams prioritize durability and extended size runs through 5XL.

Develop Your Design and Artwork

Provide SELMOND with your logo in vector format (AI, EPS or high-resolution PDF) or work with the in-house design team to digitize sketches. Finalize colorways using Pantone references to ensure accurate sublimation output.

Receive full artwork proofs showing front, back, sleeves and collar placements before sampling begins.

Request Samples and Approve

Order pre-production samples in your chosen fabric, cut and decoration layout. SELMOND produces strike-offs that show true sublimation color, seam construction and fit across size grades.

Approve or request revisions; patterns and artwork are archived for fast re-orders.

Place Your First Production Order

Confirm quantities per size and colorway, meeting the 100-piece minimum. First orders require 100% deposit via T/T, PayPal or credit card; balance is due before shipment.

Production runs 18–25 days after artwork approval, with in-line QC and final inspection before packing.

Plan Your Go-to-Market Strategy

Decide between inventory stocking or pre-order campaigns. Low MOQ enables test drops and seasonal capsules without overstock.

Use high-resolution product photos and size charts from SELMOND to launch e-commerce, social media or team portal sales immediately upon delivery.
