Custom Beanies for Wholesale Programmes
Every beanie here is knitted to your artwork on our own Dalang flat-knit floor — there is no stock catalogue and no ready-made colourway to pick from.
Wholesale here means made-to-order, not stock
If you are looking for blank beanies held in a warehouse, we are not that supplier. Every beanie programme starts from your artwork: the chart is programmed once, then knitted across your run in the yarns and colourways you choose.
That is why there is no price list and no fixed minimum on this page. Your quote depends on the colour count in the chart, the yarn, the cuff construction and the quantity you need — the same four things that decide what your beanie actually is.
For the full range and the technique breakdown, see custom jacquard beanies — every piece knitted to your artwork on our own Dalang floor.
What you can customise
Everything that shows on the finished beanie is your decision, not ours:
- Logo technique — jacquard knitted into the cuff (never peels), direct embroidery, or a woven badge sewn on
- Colour count — from a single-colour cuff logo to a full multi-colour all-over chart
- Cuff and crown — folded cuff, slouchy silhouette, rib depth, pom-pom or no pom-pom
- Yarn — acrylic, wool-blend, cotton or recycled, Pantone-matched to your brand colour
- Labels and packaging — woven labels, hang tags, polybags, custom cartons
- Size chart — adult one-size, kids sizes, or a chart built to your market
How a custom run is built
Six steps, and you approve before anything reaches the machine:
- Artwork — send a vector, a sketch, or a photo of what you want the cuff to look like
- Chart + digital proof — our in-house team converts it to a knit chart and you approve it
- 72-hour physical sample — knitted on the same machines as your production run
- Approval — you confirm colour, hand feel and logo detail
- Bulk production — about two weeks, with inline checks and photos for approval
- Delivery — DDP with freight and duties included, or FOB/EXW if you prefer your own forwarder
Colour, Pantone and what it does to cost
Every colour added to a jacquard chart means another yarn feed and another colour change on every row, so colour count is one of the four things that move your unit cost. Send us the artwork and we will tell you plainly what a reduced palette would save if you want the option.
Beanies are not a standalone product here
They come off the same flat-knit machines as our sweaters and scarves, which is why most wholesale programmes bundle a beanie with a matching sweater or scarf set. One order, one colour match, one shipment — and a comfortable run for each piece.
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

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.
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.
Can you knit a multi-colour logo straight into the cuff?
Yes — that is our specialty. The logo is knitted into the fabric row by row, so it never peels, cracks or fades, even after repeated washing. Our flat-knit machines handle complex multi-colour charts that many beanie suppliers turn away.
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.
