What is the minimum order quantity for custom pocket squares?

MOQs vary by factory, material, and decoration method, but most custom pocket square orders start around 25-50 units. The MOQ is set per style and colorway, so if you want silk pocket squares in three different colors, each color counts toward its own minimum. Your production team can negotiate flexibility depending on the factory match.

Can I get a sample pocket square before committing to a full production run?

Absolutely. Samples are a separate step from production. Once you submit a brief, your team sources a factory match and you can request a pre-production sample - typically delivered in 2-3 weeks depending on complexity. Sample costs are quoted per project and are separate from your production lead time and unit pricing.

How long does production take for custom pocket squares?

After sample approval, a typical production run for, say, 250 embroidered silk pocket squares takes roughly 3-5 weeks. Your production team tracks every milestone from spec lock to shipment, so you always know where your order stands.

Is there tiered pricing at different order quantities?

Yes. Pricing tiers exist at common break points - 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 units - with per-unit cost decreasing as quantity increases. Submit a brief with your target quantity and specs, and your team will return a detailed quote matched to the right factory for your project.

What private label and white label options are available for pocket squares?

Full private label scope is available: woven labels, branded hangtags, custom packaging, tissue wraps, and box sets. You can bundle everything into one production order or add elements a la carte. White label pocket squares - unbranded and ready for your own finishing - are also an option depending on the factory.

Can I source specific materials like silk through THE/STUDIO, or do I need my own tech pack?

Either path works. If you have a named-fabric tech pack with exact specs, your team sends it directly to matched factories. If you just have a brief - for example, 'lightweight silk pocket square with hand-rolled edges' - your team identifies the right material and weight from the factory's capabilities and builds the spec for you.

Can I provide my own measurements instead of using stock pocket square templates?

Yes. Whether you want a classic 10x10 square, a slightly oversized format, or a non-standard shape, your team will grade the pattern from your measurements and lock it into a tech pack. No stock templates required.

Can I mix colors or decoration methods within a single pocket square order?

You can mix colors and even decoration methods - say, half the run with embroidery and the other half with a different colorway - as long as each variant meets the per-style MOQ. Your production team coordinates this with the manufacturer so it ships as one consolidated order.

What decoration methods work best for custom pocket squares?

For silk pocket squares, embroidery is the most popular method for adding monograms or logos. If you are producing pocket squares with metal accessories like cufflink-and-pocket-square gift sets using stainless steel or zinc alloy components, laser engraving and metal plating are available for the hardware pieces. Your team recommends the best method based on your brief and material choice.
