Question 1

What is the minimum order quantity for custom visors, and is the MOQ firm per style or color?

Accepted Answer

Most visor manufacturers in our network start at 50 units per style and colorway, though some factories can go as low as 25 depending on the decoration method - embroidery and woven patch runs tend to have lower minimums than knit-in jacquard or rhinestone hotfix work. The MOQ is set per individual combination of style, color, and decoration, so if you want three colorways you would need to meet the minimum for each. Your production team can outline the exact factory requirements once you submit a brief.

Question 2

How much does a visor sample cost, and how long does sampling take before production?

Accepted Answer

Sampling is a separate step from production. Once your brief is submitted, your production team works with the factory to develop a first sample - typically within 2-3 weeks depending on complexity. Sample fees vary by factory and construction (a cotton twill visor with flat embroidery will cost less to sample than a straw or raffia visor with a debossed leather patch). Costs are quoted on your brief so there are no surprises, and the sample fee is often credited back on your production order.

Question 3

What is the typical production lead time for custom visors?

Accepted Answer

After sample approval, production lead times for visors generally run 4-6 weeks. For example, a 250-unit run of canvas visors with embroidery and a woven brand label would typically ship in about 5 weeks from approval. More complex decoration methods like rhinestone hotfix or multi-color heat transfer DTF may add a few days. Your production team tracks each milestone and keeps you updated from brief to delivery.

Question 4

Do visor prices drop at higher quantities, and what are the tier breakpoints?

Accepted Answer

Yes, tiered pricing is standard across our factory network. Breakpoints typically exist at 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - the more you order, the lower the per-unit cost. Rather than publishing fixed prices, we return a custom quote once you submit a brief with your specs, materials, and decoration details. That way pricing reflects your exact visor design instead of a generic estimate.

Question 5

What private label and white label options are available for visors?

Accepted Answer

Full private label and white label programs are built into the platform. Your production team can coordinate custom woven labels, printed or woven brand tags, debossed leather patches, branded hangtags, and custom poly-bag or boxed packaging. These elements can be bundled into a single production run or added a la carte - just specify what you need in your brief and the team handles the rest with the factory.

Question 6

Can the factory source materials from a brief, or do I need to provide a full tech pack with named fabrics?

Accepted Answer

Either approach works. If you have a detailed tech pack specifying canvas weight, cotton blend, acrylic yarn, or straw and raffia type, the factory can match exactly. If you are earlier in development, submit a brief describing the look, feel, and intended use - your production team will recommend materials from the factory's library and send swatches with your sample. Materials available for visors include cotton, canvas, acrylic, and straw or paper braid.

Question 7

Can visors be graded from my own measurements instead of stock templates?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you supply your own size specs, the factory's pattern team will grade from your measurements rather than defaulting to stock templates. This is especially useful for visors designed for specific audiences - men's, women's, or girls' sizing - where crown depth, brim curve, and band circumference may differ from standard blanks. Include your measurements in your brief or tech pack and the production team will confirm grading with the factory.

Question 8

Can I mix sizes and colors within a single visor MOQ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can mix sizes and colors within one order as long as each individual style-color-size combination meets the factory's per-SKU minimum. For instance, if the minimum is 50 units per colorway, you could order 50 cotton visors in white and 50 in navy under a single 100-unit production run. Your production team will help you structure the size and color split to keep everything within MOQ requirements.
