Custom Beanie — Spandex Jersey with Felt Blocking
We supply beanie to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Spandex Jersey with felt blocking for outerwear and jacket programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is recovery after wear, because a beanie that bags out is dead — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: colour drift between the approved sample and the bulk trim, or a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare GSO conformity with Arabic labelling 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 EN 71 part 3 for decorative components are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Jebel Ali 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 recovery after wear.
