Custom Balaclava — Acrylic Yarn with Steam Blocking
We supply balaclava to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Acrylic Yarn with steam blocking for bridal and eveningwear studios. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is breathability at the mouth panel, so moisture does not freeze inside in cold use — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 1000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: shade variation within one carton, or a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare CPSIA and California Prop 65 compliance so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Packing, testing and delivery
Pieces are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by style set — with barcodes applied where the channel needs them, and shape-protected where the profile cannot be crushed. Test reports for CPSIA lead and phthalate testing are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Los Angeles or New York with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and keep the approved reference on file so reorders reproduce the same material, the same construction and the same breathability at the mouth panel.
