Sports Tape OEM — Frequently Asked Questions

MOQ depends on the product line. Hockey tape starts from just 1 carton, making it ideal for clubs, pro shops and new brands testing the market. Kinesiology tape and rigid athletic tape have tiered MOQs based on the level of customization. Contact us with your target quantity and we will confirm your exact MOQ within 24 hours.

Standard OEM production takes 15 to 25 working days after artwork approval, depending on order size and customization level. Repeat orders using existing tooling are usually faster.

Kinesiology tape is elastic and stretchy: it supports muscles and joints while allowing full range of motion, and is commonly used for pain relief, swelling reduction and recovery. Rigid athletic tape (zinc oxide tape) is non-elastic with high tensile strength: it physically restricts joint movement to prevent injury, and is the classic white tape used by athletic trainers for ankle and wrist strapping. Many brands launch both lines together — see our product catalog.
