Custom Balaclava — Coral Fleece with Rubber Coating
We supply balaclava to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Coral Fleece with rubber coating for childrenswear and schoolwear. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is fit around the crown, because a mask that rides up is taken off — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 3000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare REACH and GPSR documentation 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 GRS recycled content claim are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Rotterdam or Felixstowe 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 fit around the crown.
