They also explain the terms you will meet along the way: private label and white label (an existing product made with your brand), OEM (made to your own specification), and how custom work such as motorcycle balaclavas for clubs is handled. At Mr Balaclava, private label orders start at 50 pieces per design, and the standard production lead time is approximately 14 days after approval.
