Custom Padded Compression Shorts
ZipaSports manufactures custom padded compression shorts in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a minimum order of 20–25 pieces per design and 15–25 business day production. Ordered by clubs kitting out guards and post players who take repeated contact on drives and box-outs.
The base is a 280 GSM poly-spandex short with flatlock seams and a covered elastic waistband, cut to sit under game or practice shorts without bunching. Closed-cell EVA foam pads are inserted into stitched inner pockets at the hips, thighs and tailbone so they stay located during play and can be removed before washing. Waistband labels, team marks and player numbers are applied by heat transfer or sublimation.
Send your logo, colours and reference designs — or just an idea — and the design studio returns a free digital mockup within 24 hours. OEM and private-label orders ship with your own woven labels, size tags and branded packaging, applied in-house.

Padded Compression Shorts — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom padded compression shorts?
20–25 pieces per design. Lower quantities are possible on request, and there is no MOQ limit for sportswear brands and companies.
What are padded compression shorts made from?
280 GSM poly-spandex with closed-cell EVA foam pad inserts. GRS-certified recycled fabric options are available on request.
How long does production take?
Bulk production takes 15–25 business days after design approval, with an express 7–12 day service at additional cost. A free digital mockup is delivered within 24 hours of your enquiry.
Should the pads be removed before washing?
Yes, where the pads sit in stitched pockets we recommend removing them, washing the short at 30°C and refitting once dry. Fully sewn-in versions can be washed as a whole garment on a cold cycle.
Do the pads move around during play?
The inner pockets are shaped to the pad and stitched on all sides, so the foam stays located over the hip and thigh rather than sliding round the leg during contact.
What level of protection do these give?
They are padded textile shorts intended to cushion knocks and floor contact in normal play. They are not protective equipment and should not be worn in place of it.
How much do custom padded compression shorts cost?
Pricing depends on fabric choice, order quantity, decoration and destination, so every order is quoted individually. Send your design and quantity on WhatsApp (+92 300 7019281) for a same-day quote and a free digital mockup within 24 hours.
