FAQ
How fast can I launch a private label line?
A private label launch can move from product selection to delivered goods in roughly two months. Samples take 5-7 days once specs and logo artwork are confirmed. Bulk production takes 20-30 days, and sea freight adds 25-35 days. Air freight cuts shipping to 5-10 days for an urgent first batch.
What is the minimum order for private label?
Our standard minimum is 100 pieces per style, and a trial order of about 50 pieces is possible for a first run. Logo embroidery, woven labels, and custom hangtags are all handled in the sampling stage. Small first orders let you test sell-through before committing to a full container.
Can you print my logo on existing products?
Yes. VegaMilitary applies embroidery, screen print, heat transfer, or woven labels to existing patterns. Artwork files are needed before sampling, and we send a digital proof for approval. Logo placement is recorded in the production spec so every later batch matches the approved sample.
Who owns the brand and the design?
You own the brand and any artwork you supply. We own the base patterns and molds used for existing catalog items. If you fund new tooling or a new pattern, that tooling is reserved for your orders. This split is written into the supply agreement before production begins.
