Private Label Beanie Manufacturer — Your Brand, Knitted In
Not just a logo on a blank: the motif is knitted into the fabric, the labels carry your brand, and the beanie arrives in your packaging ready for your channel.
What private label actually includes
Private label means the product arrives as yours — not ours with a sticker on it. That covers the visible brand (jacquard motif, embroidered logo, woven badge), the labels that make it legally yours to sell, and the packaging it arrives in.
Because our knitting floor is in-house, the brand and the garment are made together. Nothing is sourced blank and re-decorated, so the logo cannot peel off the cuff after ten washes.
For the full range and the technique breakdown, see custom jacquard beanies — every piece knitted to your artwork on our own Dalang floor.
Your brand, at every touchpoint
Each of these is a separate decision, priced against your actual spec:
- Jacquard motif knitted into the cuff or crown — multi-colour, Pantone-matched
- Woven or printed neck label with your brand name and composition
- Care label to your market's regulation (US, EU, UK wording)
- Hang tag, string and barcode label
- Polybag or compostable sleeve, with a barcode sticker if you need one
- Custom carton with your branding, or plain export cartons
Size charts built for your market
One-size-fits-most is fine for promo; a brand selling into a size-conscious market often wants a kids' range or an adjusted crown depth. We build the chart to your measurements and program the machines to it rather than forcing your brand into a standard block.
Your artwork and your charts stay yours
The knit chart we build from your artwork is produced for you and is not reused for another customer. If you are building a range of several styles, we keep the set together so season two matches season one.
Volume is a conversation, not a gate
The minimum is 300 pieces per design, counted per design rather than per colour or size. A private-label run of 300 splits across colourways freely, which is enough to cover a full size and colour range in a small channel before committing to a season.
Order terms
Why we don't publish a price
A custom product has no universal price. Two orders for what looks like the same sweater can land far apart, because the number is built from the specifics below — and a factory that quotes you a figure before asking these questions has not costed your order at all.
- Yarn and material — acrylic, cotton, wool and cashmere are different products, not the same product at three prices — the fibre decides hand feel, weight and cost together
- Size and fit — a kids' size and an adult 2XL draw different yarn on a different machine setup, and a full size curve spreads the fixed cost differently
- Knitting structure — a plain jersey knit and a textured relief or intarsia panel run at different speeds on different machines — the construction is the single biggest driver of machine time
- Colour count — every additional colour in a jacquard chart means another yarn feed and another colour change on every row, so a 3-colour motif and a 13-colour all-over pattern are not close in cost
- Wastage and yield — complex charts, textured structures and cut-and-sew patterns lose more material on the machine. That loss rate is a real line in the cost, and it moves with the design
- Quantity — pattern charting and machine programming are fixed costs — the longer the run, the thinner they spread across each piece
- Trims and packaging — woven labels, hang tags, foil boxes, polybags and Pantone-matched yarn all add per piece, and each one is a separate quote line

How much does it cost? A made-to-order product has no single list price, but there is a published starting point: 100% acrylic with a three-colour jacquard, DDP to the USA. Everything above that is built from your yarn and material, your size range, the knitting structure and colour count, the wastage the design produces, your quantity, and the trims and packaging you choose. Change any one of those and the price changes.

What is the minimum order for custom beanies?
300 pieces per design. It counts per design rather than per colour or per size, so a run of 300 can be split across colourways without multiplying the minimum — ten colours at 30 pieces each is still one design. Beanies can also be bundled with matching sweaters or scarves on a single order.
Do you knit a blank and sew the logo on afterwards?
No. The motif is programmed into the knit itself, so the colour is the fabric rather than a layer on top of it. That is why a jacquard logo does not peel or crack, and why we can carry details a patch cannot — a gradient cuff, lettering that follows the rib, an all-over pattern.
Are you a beanie factory or a trading company?
We own the knitting floor. Beanies, caps, scarves and sweaters are all knitted in our own Dalang factory in Dongguan on the same machines — no trading company, no middleman markup.
What artwork do you need to start?
A vector file is ideal, but a sketch, a photo of an existing beanie or a phone snapshot of a competitor's cuff is enough to begin. Our in-house team turns it into a knit chart and sends you a digital proof before anything goes on the machine. Your files stay yours — we do not reuse a customer's artwork or charts.
