Clear answers to key questions regarding minimum orders, technical laser perforation options, lead times, and factory certifications.
What makes C-Ray a leading customized perforated hats manufacturer?
We own four direct manufacturing plants in China and Vietnam equipped with computerized laser perforation machines, specialized sportswear sewing lines, and an in-house R&D team capable of launching 500+ fresh styles monthly.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom perforated caps?
Our typical MOQ starts at 300 to 500 pieces per design/colorway for full OEM customization (custom laser perforation patterns, custom dyes, and branded trims). Flexible runs are negotiable for new brand launches.
Can you customize the shape and layout of the laser perforation holes?
Yes. Our precision CAD laser systems can cut micro-dots, honeycomb grids, geometric dashes, or even your custom brand logo silhouettes directly into side panels or rear crown segments with clean, non-fraying heat-sealed edges.
What are your production and sampling lead times?
Physical pre-production samples are completed in 5 to 7 business days. Bulk mass manufacturing typically takes 25 to 35 days depending on batch complexity, fabric availability, and order volume.
Are your headwear manufacturing facilities certified for social compliance?
Yes, our facilities are BSCI-audited and ISO9001 certified. We adhere to stringent social compliance, fair labor practices, safe factory conditions, and zero-hazardous-chemical testing (REACH/OEKO-TEX compliant).
Can we choose between shipping from China or Vietnam?
Yes. Our dual-hub manufacturing framework allows buyers to route production according to tariff considerations, shipping costs, and port proximity, ensuring the most competitive landing cost for US and European imports.
