Custom and private label hair foil
Almost everything on hair foil can be set for your order: size, thickness, emboss, colour, print, sheet count, box and packing. Size, thickness and emboss are set on the production line. Print on the foil and print on the box each need plates, which is what raises the minimum order to 1,000 boxes per design.
What we make to order
We make hair foil on our own lines, so most of what a stock range fixes can be set for your order. Each row gives the range and how a change works. Treat the figures as a starting point for your specification, not as limits: if you need something outside a range, ask.
| What you can set | Range | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Widths 50–700 mm; sheet lengths cut to order | Standard sizes run without set-up; a new size needs a cutting die or a re-set, free once the order quantity is confirmed |
| Roll length | 30–1,000 m | Wound on a 32 mm core |
| Thickness | 12–20 µm | Chosen for each order; alloy 8011-O |
| Emboss | Diamond, Honeycomb, Orange-peel, Random-dot | Your own pattern: a new roller, 2,400 USD, made in 1 month |
| Print on the foil | Up to 9 colours, by gravure | Plates 92 USD per colour; repeat set by the design |
| Count and box | Your sheet count; pop-up, flat or cutter box, or your own box | Small counts in pouches for kits as well as salon boxes |
| Packing and cartons | Units per carton, carton size and pallet load set to your order | Including Amazon FBA cartons to the limits in force |
| Minimum order | From 100 boxes of pop-up, 200 boxes of pre-cut, 500 rolls | Custom design from 1,000 boxes per design |
| Samples and lead time | Stock samples in 1–3 days, free | Orders in 15–20 days from order to dispatch |
What a change costs in set-up
Each row is one thing you can change. The last two columns say what the change costs you in set-up: whether it raises the minimum order, and whether it needs a tool made for it.
| Option | Range | Raises the MOQ | Needs new tooling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size | Standard sizes, or a custom width and length | Custom sizes only | A cutting die or a machine re-set, free once the order quantity is confirmed |
| Thickness | Within 12–20 µm | No | No |
| Emboss pattern | The patterns in our range | No | Only for a pattern outside the range |
| Colour | Silver or a solid colour | Quoted with the colour | No |
| Print on the foil | Up to 9 colours | Yes: 3,000 boxes per design | Plates for each design |
| Box | Box type, sheet count and artwork | Yes: the box print run | A cutting die for a new box size, free once the order quantity is confirmed |
| Outer carton | Carton marks and labels | No | No |
The ranges are detailed on the pages that own them: sizes, thickness and alloy and emboss patterns.

Where to start
If you have a brand and no product yet, start with private label hair foil: it sets out the whole process and what to prepare. If you already buy hair foil and want your own print on it, start with custom printed hair foil. Minimum orders for every format are on MOQ and lead time by format.
