Larger runs are made on the same lines, with a monthly capacity of around 100,000 pieces. **### What do we need to start an OEM order?** A tech pack or a detailed sample, your logo files, target quantities and a deadline. If your tech pack is incomplete, our design team completes it with you before sampling. **### Can you develop a balaclava from a brief?** Yes, that is ODM. Share a brief, a mood board or a reference product, or pick one of our styles to adapt. We design it with you, prepare the mockup and the tech pack, and send a sample. **### Will our products carry your brand?** No. Products, labels and packaging carry only your brand; Mr Balaclava's name does not appear. **### How long does OEM balaclava production take?** Samples are sent within 5–7 days of your order. Once the sample is approved, standard lead time is 14 days; 7 days is possible on request. Complex products or very large orders (100,000–200,000 pcs) can take up to one month. Express shipping by DHL, FedEx or UPS then takes 3–6 working days.
