Custom Ivy Cap — Mesh with Intarsia Knit
We supply ivy cap to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Mesh with intarsia knit for e-commerce and small-batch brands. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is pattern matching across panels on checked cloth — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 500 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: a supplier who disappears once the deposit is paid, or inconsistent sizing between production runs. 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 GRS recycled content claim 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 pattern matching across panels on checked cloth.
FAQ
Can you do small runs across many designs?

The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.

A first sample takes 12 working days, and each revision about 3 days.
Do you ship to our forwarder?
Yes. We deliver to your nominated forwarder or quote landed cost under the agreed Incoterm.
