Bracelets Private Label Carton: Alloy, Karat and the Cost of a Color Change - HOLYCOME
Bracelets: tolerances, cost structure and the reject rule for US wholesale buyers.
Why the Private Label Carton Quote Looks Cheap Until It Lands
Two buyers ordered the same bracelet in the same month. One paid 9% less and absorbed 23 rejects out of 200 pieces; the other paid our quote and shipped clean. The difference was clasp torsion failure, and it was measurable on both benches, and the Private Label Carton quote for it sits at USD 40-264.
In the Private Label Carton file the failure was already written down. Clasp torsion failure sat in the buyer's own incoming report from the previous season and nobody carried it forward, so the same line failed twice, the figure being USD 40-264 for a 200-piece run.
The second run shipped private-label carton with hangtag with the spec stapled to the packing list. Zero rejects on arrival, and the buyer's own bench stopped re-inspecting, and at USD 40-264 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
The Measurements Behind a USD 40-264 Quote
Specification is the only part of a bracelets quote that survives the season. These four measurements are what we write into the private-label carton with hangtag paperwork, which is how the Private Label Carton account reads it at USD 40-264.
| Spec point | Common trade output | HOLYCOME standard | Cost if missed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone colour consistency | Graded by eye under D65 | Colour matched to a retained master stone, per tray | Repeat colour complaint in the same SKU |
| Sizing drift across the run | Not measured | Go/no-go gauge on every size, drift held under 0.15 mm | Resize queue and reship cost |
| Clasp spring life | Sampled by hand | Cycled 500 times on a jig per lot | Detach claim and brand damage |
| Prong tension and seat depth | Checked by feel at the bench | Pull-tested per piece, seat depth written on the sheet | Stone loss and total replacement |
Every line above is measurable with a gauge and a scale. At USD 40-264 per piece, a supplier who cannot state them is selling a photo.
Private Label Packaging for bracelets
Private label changes four things and none of them is the piece: the stamp, the hangtag, the box and the barcode. Get those four aligned before the first bulk run or the carton arrives with your name spelled two ways, and 200 pieces leaves Wuzhou in private-label carton with hangtag at USD 40-264.
The stamp goes inside the shank or on the clasp tag, and it has to be small enough not to break the surface on a thin bracelet. Below 0.8 mm of shank width we recommend the hangtag only, and at USD 40-264 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
Cartons are quoted at 200 pieces with the label printed, not stickered, because a sticker on a matte box reads as a repack. Lead time adds three days for the print run, which is why private label starts later than stock, quoted at USD 40-264 per piece in private-label carton with hangtag.
What a USD 40-264 Quote Hides
The 200-piece Private Label Carton price splits as below. The line that decides season two is the plating and QC share, not the metal, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces.
| Cost line | Share | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal or alloy for bracelets | 34% | Alloy choice and casting yield |
| Stone or melee for bracelets | 25% | Sieve range and lot batching |
| Setting and finishing labor for bracelets | 22% | Jig design and bench minutes |
| Plating, polish and QC for bracelets | 15% | Per-tray versus per-piece checks |
| Packaging for bracelets | 4% | private-label carton with hangtag |
Five lines, one price. If the supplier will not break them out, the number being compared is not a bracelets price, and the Private Label Carton quote for it sits at USD 40-264.
What Fails First on bracelets
length drift on bangles
A bangle that measures 6.9 inch instead of 7.0 slides differently on the wrist. Oval versus round form changes the fit even at the same number, shipped as private-label carton with hangtag and certified GRA report.
In a 200-piece run this typically shows on 11 of pieces. Catching it means measuring clasp torsion resistance at the tray level, not inspecting the finished carton, and at USD 40-264 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
clasp torsion failure
A box clasp rated for a necklace fails under wrist rotation. The clasp has to be tested in torsion, not only in pull, which the Private Label Carton file records at USD 40-264 in private-label carton with hangtag.
The commercial effect is clasp replacement plus reship, typically USD 9-15 per piece. Buyers who have seen it once put it in the purchase order; buyers who have not usually discover it on the first return, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces.
link gap growth
Gaps between links grow when the connecting pin is 0.05 mm under size. A pin gauge on every tenth piece catches it cheaply, priced at USD 40-264 for the 200-piece Private Label Carton run.
Our countermeasure is a gauge and a written limit. It adds about 20 seconds per piece and removes the defect from the run rather than from the carton, and the Private Label Carton quote for it sits at USD 40-264.
MOQ, Samples and the Balance
The commercial frame is short enough to state in full. Minimum order is 50 pieces per design, and mixed designs travel in one shipment, so a 200-piece Private Label Carton order can carry three or four models without a separate setup charge. Sample pieces leave in 3-5 days when the components are in stock, and a new model adds about twenty days before the first article exists, which is USD 40-264 on the Private Label Carton schedule.
Payment is 30 percent with the order and 70 percent against the bill of lading, with the balance window stated on the invoice rather than agreed by message. Prices quoted at USD 40-264 are FOB Guangzhou or Shenzhen; DDP is quoted separately because the duty line moves with the tariff schedule and not with our cost.
Packing follows the private-label carton with hangtag format at 200 pieces to the carton, and the packing list carries SKU, size and stone size so receiving can count without opening every box. Private-label cartons add three days for the print run and must be approved before the first bulk order, not after it, and 200 pieces leaves Wuzhou in private-label carton with hangtag at USD 40-264.
Certification is GRA report for the lots that carry it, with a batch report and per-piece measurement of clasp torsion resistance for the lots below the threshold. The document set travels with the shipping papers, which is what a customs broker asks for at the port rather than after clearance, the figure being USD 40-264 for a 200-piece run.
A rejected tray is settled inside the same order cycle against the retained reference piece. If the difference sits on our retained sample we replace or credit; if it appeared in transit we split the assay cost and file with the carrier, and that rule is written on the order before the deposit clears, the figure being USD 40-264 for a 200-piece run.
The Sample Approval That Survives Production
A buyer who understands this about bracelets negotiates differently, and usually negotiates less, shipped as private-label carton with hangtag and certified GRA report.
The commercial version of this question for bracelets is simple: what does a failure cost the buyer, and who pays it. In our terms the answer is a replacement inside the same order cycle, with the retained reference tray as the arbiter, quoted at USD 40-264 per piece in private-label carton with hangtag.
That clause matters more than a discount on bracelets. A 4% lower unit price disappears on the first rejected tray; a written responsibility clause does not, on a 200-piece Private Label Carton order at USD 40-264.
How the Second Order Becomes Cheaper
For bracelets at this price band, the honest answer is a range rather than a point, and the range has a reason, and the Private Label Carton quote for it sits at USD 40-264.
We run this check per tray rather than per carton because the defect that matters on bracelets is the one that repeats. A single odd piece is noise; a pattern across one tray is a process problem and it will be in every tray made after it, which the Private Label Carton file records at USD 40-264 in private-label carton with hangtag.
The report the buyer receives states the count per tray, the measured average and the outlier count for bracelets. It is deliberately unglamorous, and it is the document that settles most disputes before they start, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces.
From Spec to private-label carton with hangtag
Our process is deliberately boring, because boring is what survives a bulk run with several sets of hands on it, and 200 pieces leaves Wuzhou in private-label carton with hangtag at USD 40-264.
- Agree the stamp position, the hangtag copy and the box print before the first carton.
- Print the cartons and hangtags in one run: a sticker on a matte box reads as a repack.
- Set the barcode and the FNSKU mapping for every SKU before the label file is approved.
- Build the first carton at the quoted quantity so the pack-out is proven, not assumed.
- Hold a retained carton as the pack reference for every reorder.
A first order at 50 pieces per design is a measurement rather than a purchase. It tells you what clasp torsion resistance and overall length within +/-3 mm looks like from this line, which is how the Private Label Carton account reads it at USD 40-264.
A 200-Piece Test Run
The first order should be small enough to inspect completely and large enough to keep the gauge check independent of the shift, the figure being USD 40-264 for a 200-piece run.
Put the reject rule in writing before the deposit. The Private Label Carton conversation after arrival is shorter when the rule is on the order already, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces.
The Dock Check on bracelets
We ship from Guangzhou or Shenzhen, and the port choice follows the carrier rate rather than a fixed habit, which the Private Label Carton file records at USD 40-264 in private-label carton with hangtag.
DDP suits a first Private Label Carton order because the duty invoice arrives after the carton clears, and that is the line buyers forget to budget, and the Private Label Carton quote for it sits at USD 40-264.
The arrival check is three steps and none needs a lab: count against the packing list, weigh a sample, measure ten pieces, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces, and at USD 40-264 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for bracelets?
50 pieces per bracelet. Designs mix inside one shipment, so a first order of three designs at 50 pieces each is normal for a new US account. Below 50 the gauge check stops being independent of the shift, quoted at USD 40-264 per piece in private-label carton with hangtag.
Do you supply certificates for bracelets?
GRA report on bracelets above the threshold stated on the quote. Below it we supply a batch report plus per-piece measurement of clasp torsion resistance, which is what a counter or a listing actually needs, which the Private Label Carton file records at USD 40-264 in private-label carton with hangtag.
How do you handle a rejected tray?
We replace or credit inside the same order cycle. The retained reference tray decides: if clasp torsion failure shows on our retained piece we own it, and if it appeared in transit we split the assay cost and file with the carrier, certified GRA report and packed private-label carton with hangtag at 200 pieces.
What are the payment terms?
30 percent deposit with the order, 70 percent against the bill of lading. For accounts on a second order we quote 30/70 with a 15-day balance window once the first shipment has cleared, and at USD 40-264 for 200 pieces that is the number the buyer signs.
What is the minimum order for bracelets?
50 pieces per bracelet. Designs mix inside one shipment, so a first order of three designs at 50 pieces each is normal for a new US account. Below 50 the gauge check stops being independent of the shift, quoted at USD 40-264 per piece in private-label carton with hangtag.
