Soft textile participant's bib number

Brief

For a race with over 3,000 participants, it was necessary to produce personalized bib numbers. They had to be lightweight, soft, highly visible, and not hinder the participants during movement. Each number had to feature an individual number, the event name, and the logos of the organizers and partners.

Solution

KIYIZGROUP proposed replacing traditional paper numbers with soft textile start numbers. A material suitable for full-color sublimation printing was used as a base. It was lightweight, flexible, and comfortable for long-term wear during running. A separate unique number was prepared for each participant. Large numbering, the race's corporate branding, the date of the event, and partner logos were placed on the front side. After preparing the layouts, the images were transferred to the material using the sublimation method.
