No payment required. Missing technical details can be marked Not Sure and discussed during review. After submission, Hongyuecap reviews feasibility and missing specifications first, then confirms the sampling or quotation scope.
Questions buyers ask before requesting a quote
Figures below are ranges from recent programs. Your confirmed MOQ, sample cost and lead time are stated in the written quotation after your specification is reviewed.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Our minimum order quantity is 50 pcs per style and colourway. On more complex builds – structured crowns, custom-developed fabric or custom colours, and multi-technique decoration – the practical minimum has ranged up to around 1,200 pcs, because the mill runs a minimum dye lot and the line needs a run long enough to hold consistency across the whole order. Tell us your target quantity and we will say straight away what is workable; recent orders we have run include 490 and 500 pcs.
How much does a sample cost?
Sample cost has ranged from RMB 100 to RMB 700 depending on the style and the decoration method. Your quotation can be issued in RMB or USD, and the sample cost for your specific cap is confirmed with the quotation.
Do you make a sample before bulk production?
Yes. Once the specification is reviewed, a sample is arranged so you can check the construction, crown shape, colour direction and logo execution on an actual cap before bulk production starts. Bulk only begins after the sample is approved.
How long does it take?
Sampling runs 3-15 days. Bulk production runs 20-30 days in a normal season and 35-50 days in peak season, counted from artwork and sample approval rather than from the enquiry date. If you have a fixed delivery date, put it in the brief and we will plan around it or tell you what is realistic.
What information should I include to get an accurate quote?
Hat type, fabric and colour, estimated quantity, logo artwork with the decoration method you prefer (embroidery, print, patch or woven label), packaging requirements, destination market and target schedule. If a detail is not decided yet, mark it Not Sure in the form – we review feasibility and the missing specifications first, then confirm what is needed before quoting.
Can I supply my own artwork, patches or labels?
Yes. You can send artwork files for embroidery or print, or supply physical patches, woven labels and hangtags to be applied during production. On a recent racing-cap order the buyer supplied the embroidered front patch and we matched the crown panel pattern to it.
What affects the unit price the most?
Fabric and trim selection, hat construction such as panel count and crown structure, the decoration method and stitch count, the order quantity, and the packing format. Sending these details up front gives you a quote that is closer to the final number.
Do you produce for export markets?
Yes. We produce custom caps for overseas brands, retailers and promotional buyers and pack to the carton and labelling requirements you specify. Tell us the destination and any documents you need so they can be included in the quotation.
