Custom Beret — Abaca Braid with Elastic Sweatband
We supply beret to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Abaca Braid with elastic sweatband for bridal and eveningwear studios. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is colour fastness, because dark berets bleed onto light collars — 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: unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing, or minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb. 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 OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims 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 colour fastness.
