A brand that sells under its own name
You have a catalogue and a customer base, and the impact position in it is currently filled by someone else's brand. Private label puts a model you control into that space.
Projects
Private Label
Your brand on the glove, your artwork on the packaging, and a configuration that repeats exactly on the second order. This path is light customisation on a platform that already exists: logo, colour, packaging and a validated coating variant — inside a boundary we state before the first sample, because a boundary that appears later costs both of us time.
- Your brand, your packaging
- Mature orders from 3,000 pairs, light customisation from 6,000, bespoke tooling from 12,000
- Production window stated on the configuration’s own record
- Configuration locked by revision
The trigger
Who this path is for
An own-brand glove is a decision about margin and about responsibility at the same time: the name on the label answers for the glove.
A house brand across many sites
Distributors, MRO groups and safety suppliers buy against an internal label. Repetition matters more there than novelty: the third delivery has to behave like the first one did.
A private-label line that needs a second source
The model sells and the source behind it has become fragile — ageing tooling, drifting quality, a supplier who no longer prioritises the line. The configuration has to survive the move intact.
A category review with a margin problem
A third-party model sells well and leaves little behind. Private label changes what the SKU earns and what it obliges you to answer for, and both sides are settled in writing.
What we need
Your brand assets, the position of the SKU, and the platform to build it on.
The standard NDA is available before any artwork, drawing or range plan travels; what you send is held under it and is never shown to another customer.
Input
What to send
- The logo in its usable form, with any usage rule that has to be respected in print.
- Colour references and the packaging idea, or the artwork your agency has already produced.
- Where the model sits in your line: the buyer, the application, the price band and the sizes it has to be sold in.
- The market and the label language, since both change what the pack may say.
- The platform you want to build on, or the application alone if you have no favourite yet.
- The volume over the first two orders, the packaging cadence, and any test the buyer will ask for.
The boundary
What changes, and what does not
- Inside the boundary: your logo, your colour, your packaging, and a coating variant we have already validated.
- Outside it: TPR geometry, the liner or yarn, the reinforcement area and any new performance target. Those reopen the platform and belong to the bespoke path.
- The configuration is locked first — a product code and a revision, written down — and artwork is approved against that lock, not before it.
- Production then follows the locked revision, and a change to it is a new revision with its own review rather than a quiet adjustment.
After you submit
From a locked configuration to a repeat order.
For a qualified project, the first human read happens inside one China business day. A private-label route then follows a fixed order, because artwork approval only means something once the configuration under it has stopped moving.
01
Configuration lock
The platform, its revision and the changes your brand needs are written down together: what may change, what may not, and what the minimum and the production window are as a result.
02
Light-custom sample
A sample carrying the colour and the variant, usually one to two weeks to prepare. It is approved against the written lock, so a later remark about fit or colour has something concrete to point at.
03
Artwork approval
Packaging and label artwork is settled before production, in the market's own language. A change made after approval is re-evaluated for time and cost, because it lands after the material is bought.
04
Production and release
Custom production runs about 50–60 days. Production complete is not release: a consignment leaves against QA, the required tests, the quantity, the packaging and the documents.
05
Repeat against the same revision
Reorders are produced against the approved revision and carry their batch and size codes, which is what keeps a house brand consistent across sites and across years.
Brand decision
What the lock settles
- The exact configuration under your brand, and the revision that defines it.
- What may be changed later without reopening the platform, and what may not.
- Who holds the artwork, the drawings and the tooling behind the model.
- What the label, the polybag and the carton carry, in which language.
- The sizes the SKU is introduced on and the price basis it is quoted on.
- Whether your printed claim can follow the platform's evidence, or needs its own.
Reply
What the first reply confirms
- The platform we would lock, named, with the changes your brand needs on it.
- One line on the minimum that applies and the production window it implies.
- The sample route, and what the artwork has to be ready with before production.
- Anything about your intended claim that cannot be supported yet, said before artwork is set.
Commercial frame
What an own-brand impact glove is quoted on.
Light customisation carries a higher minimum than a plain mature order, because colour, artwork and packaging are work done before the first pair is produced. Every figure below is confirmed in writing with the quotation rather than left to the sample.
- Minimum order
- 3,000 pairs on a mature, unchanged specification; 6,000 pairs with private label or light customisation; 12,000 pairs for bespoke tooling and deep OEM development.
- Production window
- Stated on the configuration’s own record before anything is ordered. The published records quote 45–60 days from approved sample and deposit for a mature specification; a customised configuration runs longer, and development work is scheduled per project rather than against a catalogue lead time.
- Sample
- A catalogue sample is free of charge, usually 1–2 weeks to prepare, with the international courier paid by you. A light-custom sample is free for qualified commercial projects on the same courier basis. A bespoke prototype is quoted per project.
- Field trial
- 100–500 pairs, 100% prepaid, where the glove has to prove itself on a crew, on a site or through a season before the first order is placed.
- Payment
- 30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy.
- Terms of trade
- FOB Qingdao unless the quotation names another basis.
- Review window
- A first human reply within 1 China business day. A mature configuration is normally quoted within 2 business days once the materials are complete; a replacement or custom project takes 3–5 business days for its first feasibility or quote route.
- Issuing entity
- STRATAGRIP Safety is the impact-glove brand of PTB Company. Contracts, invoices and export documents are issued under PTB.
Evidence and limits
Your name sits on the claim, so the claim has to be traceable.
A private-label glove is bought on a printed level and a printed size range. Under your brand those come from our configuration and its revision, and that chain is what we answer for.
Evidence position · read per configuration
A test result covers the exact configuration it was run on, down to the revision and the size range sold. A logo, a colour or a change of packaging does not touch that. A coating variant does, because it can change performance.
So a customisation is reviewed before an earlier result or a level is printed on your pack, and the review is recorded rather than assumed. Where no report exists for the configuration, the record says Not Verified and the SKU sheet states it.
Each configuration carries its own label — Field Verified, Lab Verified, or Not Verified where no report exists — and certification positions are answered for that configuration and the market you sell into. We do not issue a brand-wide certification statement, and we do not lend you another customer's report.
Honest limits
What this path is not
It is not a design agency. The configuration, the label position and the packing specification are agreed here; brand identity, photography and catalogue design are yours or your agency's.
It is not a way to own a unique glove at 1,000 pairs. A model built around a new TPR geometry or a new liner is a development project, and it is quoted on that basis.
It is not white-labelling someone else's product. The glove is produced on our platform against our revision, or it is developed for you — nothing is relabelled from a third party.
It is not stock and it is not a retail channel: production is against order, and we work B2B only.
