Golf Chipping & Training Nets for Private Label Brands: Full-Set Custom OEM Case Study
How ZRC Textile helped a new golf training brand launch a fully private-labeled chipping net, mat, and carry bag set -- with custom colorways and branded instructions -- from sample to launch in weeks.
Buyer Background
Our client is an early-stage golf training equipment brand preparing to launch its first product line. Unlike an established distributor adding a new SKU to an existing catalog, this client was starting from a blank slate -- they needed every touchpoint of the product to carry their brand identity from day one, because for a new brand, the product packaging and unboxing experience is the brand introduction to the customer.
Before reaching out to ZRC Textile, the client had explored working with a factory that could produce a good chipping net but treated the mat and carry bag as generic accessories -- offered in standard colors with no branding options, meant to be bundled as an afterthought rather than designed as part of a cohesive set. For a brand trying to establish a distinct visual identity in a competitive golf training category, this wasn't workable. A customer unboxing a product with a beautifully branded net but a plain, unbranded bag and mat doesn't read as a premium, considered brand -- it reads as mismatched components bundled together.
The client needed a manufacturing partner who would treat the net, mat, and carry bag as one integrated private-label system, not three separate components manufactured to different standards, along with fast sample turnaround since they were working against a fixed brand launch date.
Requirements Detail
Full Private-Label Branding on Product & Bag
ZRC Textile applied the client's brand identity consistently across all three components of the set: the chipping net frame, the practice mat, and the carry bag. Rather than treating each component as a separate branding exercise, our R&D team developed a unified branding application plan upfront -- mapping out where and how the logo would appear on each surface (printed, embroidered, or heat-transferred, depending on the material) so that the finished set reads as one deliberately designed product line rather than three items with a logo added on top.
This is a materially different process from applying branding to a single product. Each component uses a different base material -- net fabric, mat foam/rubber composite, and bag canvas -- which means branding technique had to be selected per-surface to hold up correctly: heat-transfer for the mat, screen printing for the canvas bag, and woven label attachment at the net frame housing.
Unique Rung Color Combinations per SKU
Beyond logo branding, the client wanted the ability to differentiate SKUs within their own catalog using distinct color combinations -- allowing them to launch, for example, a standard training edition and a premium edition using the same core product but different colorways, without requiring an entirely new tooling or production setup for each variant.
ZRC Textile matched Pantone references for each colorway across net trim, mat surface, and bag accent stitching, and produced color-matched samples for all planned SKU variants in parallel -- rather than sequentially -- to keep the client's launch timeline intact even while requesting multiple colorway options for evaluation.
Instruction Booklet with Brand Design
For a new brand introducing itself to customers through this product, the printed instruction booklet was treated as a brand touchpoint, not just a functional necessity. ZRC Textile coordinated the booklet's print production alongside the physical product set, using the client's brand design files for layout, so the booklet arrived as a finished, on-brand document inside the packaging rather than a generic printed insert added separately by a third party.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you private-label an entire product set, not just a single item?
Yes. For sets combining multiple components -- such as a net, mat, and carry bag -- we plan branding application across all components together, matching the right technique to each material so the finished set reads as one consistent brand experience.
How fast can you produce samples for a new brand launch?
Sample timelines vary by product complexity and number of variants requested, but for this multi-component private-label set, we delivered branded samples across all colorway options in 10 days to support the client's fixed launch date.
Can you produce custom color combinations across multiple SKUs from the same base product?
Yes. We can match Pantone references across different components to create distinct colorway variants without requiring separate tooling for each SKU.
