Made in our own factory / Knit gloves

One plain body. A deliberate rib finish.

For this knit program, our own factory connects yarn selection, knitting, cuff finishing and private label application. The production brief needs to distinguish the plain body from the rib wrist, even when both use the same color.

Ribbed cuff customization for knitted gloves

Develop private label plain knit gloves with a distinct ribbed wrist in our own factory. This direction suits a coordinated core range: identify the body yarn, cuff depth and recovery before deciding which colors can share a construction file. A lining change also needs a new fit review.

Discuss this construction

Before you start

Plan this reference for your order.

Is Rib Cuff Knit developed through your own factory?

Yes. VORLAN operates its own glove factory. Knitting, cutting, sewing, finishing, inspection and packing are carried out in-house, using the operations required for your selected construction. Embroidery, printing and leather debossing are also handled in our own factory; the method is approved on the chosen material.

Can private label plain knit gloves share a specification across colorways?

They can share the agreed construction file when the materials and dimensions remain the same. List the color identifiers and quantities separately, and flag any yarn or finishing difference that needs its own sample review.

How should we specify a longer rib without changing the hand?

Identify the cuff length separately from the hand and finger measurements. Mark which points stay fixed, and review the complete revised sample before releasing the new size specification.

What belongs in the first quotation request?

Include a plain-knit texture reference, the proposed yarn, rib length, size range, colorways and label position. Mark any unresolved yarn composition or lining choice so the quotation scope remains clear.

How should we plan the quantity and development timing?

The MOQ is 300 pairs per style per color. Sampling takes 7–10 working days and bulk production takes 30–45 working days, with start dates confirmed against the agreed project. Allow separately for material confirmation, revisions, transport and clearance. Packing configuration is agreed in the order specification.

Can Rib Cuff Knit be developed in our own sizes?

Provide your size chart or agree the size development required. Define measurement points, units, condition and method; approve targets and allowed variation for each required point. Review the assembled glove with the chosen materials, lining and cuff.

What needs to be approved for private label production?

Send the artwork, dimensions, placement and destination-specific wording. Our factory reviews the application on the selected construction. Keep the applied brand approval, material references, size specification and packing instructions with the Rib Cuff Knit order version.

Are dimensions checked on every finished pair?

Yes. We inspect every finished pair, including dimensions against the agreed size specification, as well as workmanship, pairing and labels. The measurement points, method and tolerances are agreed for the order. Specialist or laboratory testing has a separate defined scope.

What happens to a pair that fails inspection?

Nonconforming gloves are isolated, reworked and reinspected in our own factory. The revised pair is checked against the agreed requirements before it can return to the accepted order quantity.

What should we retain for a Rib Cuff Knit reorder?

Retain the approved sample and the named material, pattern, size, artwork and packing versions. Keep the construction-specific decisions from your sample review with that file. Identify every proposed change and reconfirm its approval, quotation and production timing.
