Private label hair foil
Private label hair foil is made to your size, thickness, emboss and print, and packed in your box. The minimum order is 1,000 boxes per design for pop-up foil, and an order takes 15–20 days from brief to dispatch, 25–30 days at most. We sign a non-disclosure agreement before you send artwork, if you ask for one.
The process, step by step
A private label order moves through 8 steps. The order is fixed, because each step depends on the one before: plates cannot be made before the artwork is approved, and production does not start before you have approved a sample.

The same steps as a table, with what each side provides:
| Step | You provide | We deliver |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Brief | Format, size, thickness, quantity, target market, launch date | Specification and quotation |
| 2. Artwork | Artwork files on the dieline | Print-ready proof for approval |
| 3. Plate | Proof approval, plate fee | Printing plates |
| 4. Sample | Courier address | Printed foil and box sample |
| 5. Approval | Written approval, deposit | Production schedule |
| 6. Production | Nothing further | Production photos on request |
| 7. QC | Third-party inspection booking, if wanted | Inspection report |
| 8. Shipping | Forwarder details or delivery address | Shipping documents |
Two of the steps are yours to time. Artwork takes as long as your designer needs, and approval takes as long as you need to test the sample. All the steps together usually take 15–20 days, and no more than 25–30 days. Freight comes after; the hair foil order timeline sets out each type of order.
What you can customise
Everything about the product can be specified, but the options are not equal in what they cost to change. Size, thickness and emboss are set on the production line. Print on the foil and print on the box each need plates.
| Option | What you choose | Where it is set |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Pop-up, pre-cut sheets or roll | Hair foil formats |
| Size | A standard size, or a custom width and length | Hair foil size chart |
| Thickness | Within 12–20 µm | Thickness and alloy |
| Surface | Smooth or an emboss pattern | Emboss patterns |
| Colour and print | Solid colour, or your pattern or logo | Custom printed hair foil |
| Box | Box type, sheet count and box artwork | Packaging options |
| Outer carton | Carton marks and labels | Labelling hair foil boxes |
MOQ and what changes it
The minimum order exists because some steps have a fixed cost that has to be spread over a run: a set of printing plates, a box print run, the set-up of the line for a size.
| Choice | Effect on the minimum order |
|---|---|
| Standard size, plain foil, printed box | The box print run sets the minimum |
| Printed foil | Each design needs plates and its own run: 3,000 boxes per design |
| Custom size | Our sheet line is set up for 5 × 11 in (127 × 279 mm); other sizes need a new cutting die or the machine re-set, at no charge once the order quantity is confirmed |
| Custom emboss pattern | Needs its own embossing roller: 2,400 USD, made in 1 month |
Minimums for every format, stock and custom, are in MOQ and lead time by format. A range that has to start small can start with a standard size of plain foil in your own box, and add printed foil with the second order.
What to prepare before you contact us
A brief with these six points gets a complete quotation in one reply.
- Target market. It decides the format, the units on the box and the labelling.
- Format. Pop-up, pre-cut sheets or roll.
- Size and thickness. Or the product you are matching, if you are replacing a supplier.
- Quantity. Per size and per design.
- Artwork. What you have so far; a logo is enough to start.
- Target launch date. We plan the sample and production back from it.
If you have not settled the range yet, which hair foil SKUs to launch first sets out three starter ranges, and hair foil for private label brands covers marketplace requirements.
Costs beyond unit price
Three one-off costs sit outside the price per box.
- Plates. Printed foil and printed boxes need plates, charged per design. Plate cost and reorder terms are on the custom printed hair foil page.
- Samples. Stock samples are free. A custom sample is paid for, and refunded once the order reaches the quantity set out on hair foil samples.
- Courier. Samples travel by courier, paid by you.
We do not publish a price list. Hair foil pricing explains what drives the unit price, and hair foil landed cost shows how freight and duty are added to it.
Private label FAQ
What is the minimum order for private label hair foil?
The minimum order for private label hair foil is 1,000 boxes per design for pop-up foil, 1,000 boxes per design for pre-cut sheets and 1,000 rolls per design for rolls. The minimum is set by the print run for printed foil and by the box print run for plain foil in a printed box.
How long does a private label hair foil order take?
A private label hair foil order usually takes 15–20 days from brief to dispatch, and no more than 25–30 days. That covers every step: artwork, plates, the sample, production and inspection. Freight comes after it; the order timeline page sets out each type of order.
Do I need my own artwork?
You need artwork for anything printed with your brand: the box, and the foil if the foil is printed. We supply a dieline for each box so that your designer works to the right dimensions. Plain silver foil in a printed box needs box artwork only.
Can I mix sizes or designs in one order?
Sizes and designs can be combined in one shipment, but each printed design and each box size has its own minimum, because each needs its own plates and its own print run. The MOQ and lead time page lists the minimum per format and explains which choices can share a run.
Do you sign an NDA before I share my brand?
Yes. Hair Foil Factory signs a non-disclosure agreement before you send artwork or brand details, if you ask for one. Request it in your first message. Designs we print for a client are not shown on this site or to other buyers without that client's permission.
