FAQ
Custom balaclava manufacturing: frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom balaclavas?
The minimum order is 50 pieces per design. That lets a new brand test a style before scaling up, and larger runs are made on the same lines, with a monthly capacity of around 100,000 pieces.
How long does 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.
What is the difference between a balaclava and a ski mask?
The two names often describe the same product: a covering for the head, face and neck. "Ski mask" usually means a knitted or fleece balaclava for snow sports, often with openings for the eyes and mouth. We manufacture both. Read more in Ski mask vs balaclava.
Which materials can I choose for my balaclavas?
Knitted balaclavas use wool, merino, cotton, acrylic or recycled yarns. Cut-and-sew styles use fleece, spandex and Lycra, polyester, nylon or mesh. We help you choose by season and use: thermal fleece for cold weather, breathable Lycra or mesh for sport and helmet liners.
Can you add my logo and labels?
Yes. We offer flat and 3D embroidery, jacquard knit logos, screen printing, sublimation, heat transfer, woven labels, and rubber or silicone patches. Your brand goes on the product and the packaging; Mr Balaclava's name does not appear.
Do you make a sample before bulk production?
Yes. Every order starts with a mockup and a tech pack, followed by a physical sample. We adjust fit, colour and branding until you approve the sample, and bulk production follows the approved version.
Can you make kids' or oversized balaclavas?
Yes. We make kids', adult and oversized fits, including relaxed shapes for layering over helmets and gear, and can grade the pattern to your own size chart.
What certifications does Mr Balaclava have?
Eco Jersey Limited, which powers Mr Balaclava, is ISO 9001 certified and a Sedex member; copies of the certificate and the membership details go to customers with an order history or a substantial order. Fabrics can be sourced from OEKO-TEX® certified mills, and the mill's certificate is available on request.
Do you ship balaclava orders worldwide?
Yes. Every order ships with tracking. Express delivery by DHL, FedEx or UPS takes 3–6 working days, and larger orders can travel by air or sea freight. Shipping is priced by the weight of your order: up to 100 kg it travels door to door by express courier with import duties paid by us, and heavier orders go by air cargo, or by sea cargo from 500 kg, to your nearest airport or port.
