Question 1

What is the minimum order quantity for custom hair ties, and is it firm per style or color?

Accepted Answer

MOQs vary by factory and construction type - a simple elastic scrunchie may have a lower minimum than a bow hair tie with rhinestone detailing. Your production team will confirm the exact MOQ per style and colorway after reviewing your brief, and in many cases they can negotiate it down for a first run so you can test before committing to a larger drop.

Question 2

How much does a hair tie sample cost, and how long does it take to receive?

Accepted Answer

Sample cost and timeline depend on the complexity of your design - a basic cotton knit hair tie is faster to turn around than a silk scrunchie with custom woven labels and rhinestone hotfix accents. Typically samples ship within 2-3 weeks after your brief is approved. Sample fees are quoted separately from production pricing and are often credited toward your production order.

Question 3

What is the production lead time once I approve my hair tie sample?

Accepted Answer

A standard production run - say 500 satin scrunchies with branded hangtags - usually ships in 3-5 weeks after sample approval. More intricate styles, like a bow hair tie with rhinestone or crystal embellishments, may take a bit longer. Your production team keeps you updated with tracking at every stage.

Question 4

Do you offer tiered pricing at different quantity levels for hair ties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at common break points like 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units. The more you order, the lower the per-unit cost. Submit a brief with your specs - material, decoration, packaging - and your team will return a detailed quote across each tier so you can pick the volume that fits your budget.

Question 5

What private label and white label options are available for custom hair ties?

Accepted Answer

Full private label scope is available: woven labels, printed hangtags, custom poly bags or branded packaging, and even retail-ready bundling. You can choose these à la carte or as a complete package. White label hair ties are also an option if you want to add your branding to a factory-ready base style with minimal setup.

Question 6

Can your team source materials from a brief, or do I need a full tech pack with named fabrics?

Accepted Answer

Either approach works. If you have a tech pack that specifies silk charmeuse or a particular weight of cotton, the team will match it with one of our 1,500+ vetted factories. If you are starting with just a mood board or a brief - like 'satin scrunchie, soft pink, mid-weight' - your production team will recommend materials and send swatches before anything goes into manufacturing.

Question 7

Can I get custom pattern grading based on my own measurements instead of stock templates?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you have specific diameter, elastic tension, or bow-width measurements, your team will build the tech pack around those specs rather than defaulting to a manufacturer's stock template. This is especially useful for hair ties designed for unique hair types or styling needs.

Question 8

Can I mix sizes and colors within one minimum order quantity?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can split a single MOQ across multiple colorways, materials, and styles - for example, combining cotton knit hair ties in three colors with a satin scrunchie in two colors, all under one production run. Your production team will confirm the per-SKU minimums when they return your quote.

Question 9

What decoration methods are available for custom hair ties?

Accepted Answer

Our factory network supports rhinestone and hotfix crystal application, which is ideal for adding sparkle to scrunchie, bow, barrette, and claw-style hair ties. If your brief calls for other embellishments, your team will match you with a manufacturer that can execute the look you are going for.
