Custom Beanie — EVA Foam with Waffle Knit
We supply beanie to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in EVA Foam with waffle knit for denim and workwear programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is pilling resistance on the outer surface — 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: packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line, or colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim. 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.

How we produce it

- Material sourcing and a finished sample in the agreed EVA Foam
- Shape sample with waffle knit applied, blocked or knitted to the approved profile
- Wear and wash test on the production material, then pre-production sample
- Bulk production with in-line checks on shape, stitching and trim alignment
- Final AQL 2.5 inspection and packing that protects the shape in transit
Where it sells
- Retail chains and department stores — repeatable spec, stable reorders
- E-commerce and small-batch brands — low minimums across many designs
- Uniform and corporate programmes — held spec for years of repeat orders
- Promotional and event channels — logo application and retail packing
- Outdoor and winter programmes — built for the climate it is sold in
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 azo dye-free declaration 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 pilling resistance on the outer surface.
FAQ
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
Do you ship to our forwarder?
Yes. We deliver to your nominated forwarder or quote landed cost under the agreed Incoterm.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare azo dye-free declaration and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
