About this category
These guides are for brands, clubs, shops and agencies that want headwear under their own name. They walk through a private label project from the first brief to delivery: choosing the style and material, adding your logo by embroidery, woven label, patch or knitted jacquard, approving samples and placing the bulk order.
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. Sample, payment and shipping terms are confirmed in your quotation.
