Audit the character set
List all symbols buyers intend to sell or apply. Compare narrow, wide, rounded, and repeated characters at the same physical height. Check stone gaps and internal counters on a full-size proof, not only a few sample initials.
Reconcile rhinestone letter and number rosters with character codes, available stock, pick quantities and spelling approval before packout.
Buyer perspective
This checklist connects an approved character master to the names and numbers that must be picked. Lock roster spelling, code each size and color, and reconcile character demand with available stock before packing a personalized order. Use the linked design brief to resolve glyph geometry and stone mapping before treating any character as approved inventory.
What to decide
List all symbols buyers intend to sell or apply. Compare narrow, wide, rounded, and repeated characters at the same physical height. Check stone gaps and internal counters on a full-size proof, not only a few sample initials.
Build short and long names or numbers on the actual garment at the planned placement. Review baseline, spacing, maximum line width, and interaction with seams. Confirm the exact backing and application guidance for the quoted transfer style.
Code each character, size, and color separately. Use a locked roster for variable orders and specify who confirms spelling. Count by character for replenishment rather than assuming equal demand across the alphabet.
Buying matrix
Numbers and letters create many possible lineups even when the base stone style is consistent. A jersey program needs a controlled character set and a packing method that prevents a visually similar digit or mirrored letter from reaching the wrong garment.
| Line item | Evidence to record |
|---|---|
| Character master | List every permitted glyph, font treatment, stone color, outside size, and orientation. Review easily confused pairs at application size rather than approving one attractive specimen character. |
| Roster mapping | Join each name or number request to its garment size and placement. Reconcile totals by character and by finished garment so extra digits and omissions are visible before production. |
| Pick proof | Have a second person assemble a sample roster from labeled packs. Confirm character order and carrier orientation on the blank without heat before final application. |
A controlled roster-to-character matrix matters more than a single beauty photograph of the transfer alphabet.

Do not advertise a complete personalized set until every required glyph and the longest usable combination have been approved on the intended product.
Reconcile rhinestone letter and number rosters with character codes, available stock, pick quantities and spelling approval before packout.
Keep the complete approved character list, physical-size combination proofs, garment/process reference and character-level codes with a locked roster. Identify who confirms spelling and reconcile required counts with available stock before packing.
The pick file needs the approved glyph list, combination proofs, receiving-garment/process reference, character codes and locked roster. Count each size and color separately instead of allocating equal demand to every character.
The glyph list establishes which individual symbols are approved. A combination proof shows how selected symbols read together at the intended size and placement; one record does not replace the other.
Use the approved combination proof to identify the correct size, color and orientation for each roster entry. Reconcile that version with character codes and counts so a visually similar alternative is not picked in its place.
