In the competitive golf industry, custom golf gloves are more than just accessories—they’re powerful branding tools and performance essentials. At GolfGlovesFactory.com, we specialize in OEM & ODM golf gloves manufacturing for brands, retailers, and distributors worldwide.
Whether you’re launching a new golf apparel line or scaling up your private label brand, here’s how we bring your vision to life—from concept to container.
1. Material Type
The most significant cost factor is the material you choose:
- Cabretta Leather: Soft, breathable, and preferred by professionals. Premium pricing due to natural origin and limited supply.
- PU Synthetic Leather: Great durability and lower cost. Ideal for promotional or retail-level gloves.
- Mesh, Lycra, or Spandex: Common in summer gloves for better breathability, typically combined with leather or PU on the palm.
💡 Tip: Hybrid designs using PU palm + Lycra back offer a great balance of cost and comfort.
2. Quantity Ordered (MOQ & Bulk Tiers)
Like most OEM factories, we offer volume-based pricing:
- 200–499 pairs: base MOQ, slightly higher unit cost
- 500–1,999 pairs: better pricing per pair
- 2,000+ pairs: factory-direct wholesale pricing
The more you order, the more efficiently we can source materials and schedule production.
3. Customization Complexity
We offer a wide range of branding options—each affecting the cost:
| Feature | Cost Impact |
|---|---|
| Embroidered logo | ★★ |
| Heat-transfer logo | ★ |
| Silicone printing | ★★ |
| Woven label on closure | ★ |
| Custom packaging (gift box, hangtag) | ★★★ |
A simple logo print adds minimal cost, but custom packaging or multi-process branding will raise the per-unit price.
4. Glove Design Details
Subtle design choices can impact production time and pricing:
- Color blocking & multi-panel stitching: Increases labor
- Elastic wristbands or reinforced cuffs: Slight material cost increase
- Left/right hand combos, youth/women/men sizing split: More SKU complexity = more QC work
💡 We’ll guide you to balance aesthetic with cost-effectiveness during design confirmation.
5. Sampling & Development Fees
First-time orders typically include:
- Sample fee (refundable upon bulk order)
- Tooling or mold fee (for rubber logos or custom closures, if applicable)
Sample fees cover cutting, printing, stitching, and quality inspection. We produce samples within 7–10 days.
6. Shipping & Delivery Terms
Shipping method will also affect your landed cost:
| Shipping Method | Lead Time | Cost Level |
|---|---|---|
| Express (DHL/FedEx/UPS) | 5–10 days | ★★★ |
| Air Cargo | 10–15 days | ★★ |
| Sea Freight | 25–40 days | ★ |
We also offer DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) for U.S. and select EU customers—so you don’t need to worry about customs clearance.
7. Additional Cost Factors
Don’t overlook:
- Currency fluctuations (we quote in USD)
- Special testing or certifications (if required by client)
- Urgent delivery surcharge (if production is rushed)
