Private Label Hair Accessories Sourcing Checklist
A step-by-step checklist for sourcing custom hair accessories: fabric approval, sewn sample, artwork placement, packing, inspection, and shipping. All products comply with EN71, ASTM F963, EN62115 and HR4040.
Agree Fabric and Colour Before Production
Always confirm the exact fabric type—mulberry silk or polyester satin—by approving a physical swatch, not a digital image. Request a lab dip for colour matching if using custom dyes. Fabric choice affects cost, care, and perceived value, so define it early. Both fabrics are compliant with EN71, ASTM F963, EN62115 and HR4040 safety standards.
Approve a Fully Sewn Sample Before Bulk
Do not approve only a fabric sample. Request a fully sewn prototype that includes stitching, band tension, seam finish, and closure type. This reveals how the piece feels in use, especially for scrunchies, bonnets, and heatless curlers where fit and durability matter. Confirm dimensions and construction with the sample.
Confirm Artwork Placement on Fabric and Packaging
Define where logos, patterns, or labels will appear on the product and packaging. For printed items, verify that the artwork aligns with the fabric grain and is positioned correctly on the final piece. On packaging, confirm barcode placement, brand name size, and any regulatory text required in the destination market.
Decide Packing Format and Barcode Requirements
Agree on the packing method—individual polybags, bulk boxes, or display-ready packaging. Confirm whether you need barcodes, and if so, provide the EAN/UPC code. Specify if inner packs are needed and how they should be arranged for shipping and retail display.
Agree on Inspection Arrangement Before Production
Joi accepts 100 percent inspection by the customer or a third party. Confirm in writing who will conduct the inspection, when it will happen (pre-shipment or during production), and what the acceptance criteria are. This avoids disputes over quality after shipment.
Confirm Shipping Method and Delivery Terms
Decide whether you want FOB Shanghai, CIF to port, or DDP. Confirm the shipping method—sea freight, air freight, or express—based on urgency and cost. Provide the delivery address and any customs documentation requirements in advance.
Manufacturing Compliance and Safety Standards
All products are manufactured in compliance with EN71, ASTM F963, EN62115 and HR4040. These cover safety for children's products, flammability, mechanical hazards, and chemical content. No additional certifications are claimed, but the factory follows these standards during production.

Yes. A fully sewn sample must be approved before bulk production begins. This includes stitching, band tension, and construction details that affect fit and use.
Can we place our own artwork on the product and packaging?
Yes. Custom artwork is supported on both fabric and packaging. Confirm placement, size, and format before production starts.
How is quality inspection handled?
