How It Works
Specification Review
You provide pattern drawings, reference samples, or a written specification. We check wire diameter, eye geometry, bend radius, point type, and coating against our manufacturing capability. If a dimension is outside our tooling range, we flag it before proceeding. Feasibility confirmed in writing within 3–5 working days.
Pre-Production Samples
We produce a small sample batch — typically 50–100 pieces — to your confirmed specification. Samples are photographed, inspected under 10× magnification, and shipped to you for approval. Coating, wire gauge, and point geometry are verified against your spec sheet. One revision round is included; additional rounds are quoted separately.
Batch Production
After sample approval, full production begins. QC checkpoints: wire drawing tolerance (±0.02 mm), heat treatment hardness, point sharpness (visual inspection at 10×), coating uniformity, and salt spray sampling per ASTM B117. Tensile strength tested on random pulls from each production batch. Every batch is documented.
Packaging & Delivery
Hooks are packed to your specification — bulk boxes, blister cards, display packaging, or custom branded boxes. Shipment includes: commercial invoice, packing list, REACH compliance statement, and batch QC report (salt spray results, tensile values, coating inspection). FOB or CIF terms per order agreement.
What We Customize
Point Geometry
Cutting Point (three-facet ground), SR Point (needle/semi-needle), Flat Point, or custom geometries. Chemically sharpened after grinding to remove micro-burrs. Visual inspection at 10× magnification per batch.
- ▸ Cutting Point — ground facets + chemical sharpen
- ▸ SR Point — needle or semi-needle profile
- ▸ Flat Point — stamped and ground
Coating
Any of 5 production coatings: HI-TECH Chemical (500h+), Black Nickel (300h), 24K Gold (250h), Bright Tin (150h), Nickel (200h). Custom colour matching available for orders above 10,000 pcs.
- ▸ 5 standard coatings — all REACH compliant
- ▸ PTFE-enhanced option on select coatings
- ▸ Custom colour matching (10K+ MOQ)
Wire Gauge & Finish
Wire diameters from fine wire (#20) to heavy gauge (4/0+). High-carbon alloy steel, heat-treated before coating. Surface finish: matte, polished, or textured.
- ▸ Wire range: #20 through 4/0+
- ▸ High-carbon steel base, heat-treated
- ▸ Matte, polished, or textured surface
Packaging
Bulk boxes (100/500/1000 pcs), retail blister cards, display boxes, or fully custom branded packaging. Barcode and SKU printing available. Inner + outer carton per shipping requirements.
- ▸ Bulk: 100 / 500 / 1,000 pcs per box
- ▸ Retail: blister cards, display boxes
- ▸ Custom: branded packaging per your design
Barb Type
Standard barb, micro barb, or barbless. Barb profile and position can be adjusted per your pattern specification. Barbless hooks comply with catch-and-release regulations in multiple European jurisdictions.
- ▸ Standard barb — mechanically cut
- ▸ Micro barb — reduced profile
- ▸ Barbless — regulatory compliance
Eye Type
Ringed eye (straight, turned up, turned down), needle eye, spade end, or welded eye. Eye internal diameter specified to match your target line diameter. Consistent eye closure verified per batch.
- ▸ Ringed: straight / turned up / turned down
- ▸ Needle eye or spade end
- ▸ Welded eye — closed loop
MOQ & Lead Times
| Batch Size | Quantity | Production Lead Time | Incl. Sample Round |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sample Run | 50–100 pcs | 1–2 weeks | N/A — this is the sample |
| Small Batch | 500–2,000 pcs | ~4 weeks | 5–6 weeks total |
| Medium Batch | 2,000–10,000 pcs | ~6 weeks | 7–8 weeks total |
| Large Batch | 10,000+ pcs | ~8 weeks | 9–10 weeks total |
Lead times are estimates based on standard coating and packaging. Custom colour matching, complex point geometries, or branded packaging may add 1–2 weeks. Sample production runs in parallel with tooling setup. Rush orders available at surcharge — contact for availability.
Your Brand on the Package
We manufacture hooks to your specification and package them under your brand. Your logo, your colour scheme, your copy — on blister cards, display boxes, or bulk packaging. We do not advertise our name on your product. Minimum order quantities and lead times are the same as standard OEM orders. Branded packaging design support is included; print-ready artwork is preferred but we can work from sketches.
Discuss Your BrandCommon Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
500 pieces per pattern is the standard MOQ. This applies across all hook types, coatings, and packaging options. For orders combining multiple patterns (e.g. three patterns at 500 pcs each), the total order is 1,500 pcs — each pattern still meets the 500 pcs minimum individually. Private label orders follow the same MOQ.
How long do pre-production samples take?
Sample production typically takes 1–2 weeks from confirmed specification. One revision round is included — if the first samples need adjustment, a second round is produced at no additional tooling cost. Further revision rounds are quoted separately. Sample shipment time (courier) is additional and depends on destination.
Can you copy an existing hook from a competitor?
We can manufacture hooks to a physical sample or technical drawing you provide — matching wire diameter, bend profile, eye geometry, point type, and coating. However, we will not replicate patented point geometries, proprietary coating formulations, or trademarked pattern names. If your reference sample uses a protected design, we will propose a functionally equivalent alternative that does not infringe.
What documentation comes with each order?
Every production order ships with: commercial invoice, packing list, REACH compliance statement for coatings, and a batch QC report. The QC report includes salt spray test results (ASTM B117, time to first red rust), tensile strength values from random batch pulls, and coating inspection notes. ISO 9001 certification documentation is available on request. All documents are provided in English; translations available at request.
