B2B knitwear production · merino · lambswool · acrylic · per-unit AMD pricing
Winter merchandise is the category that does its job when everything else fails. A printed tote is left on a hook; a branded beanie goes on the head every morning from November to March, is photographed at ski resorts, and is recognised at airports by the cuff stripe. That is why warmth and knit merch is rarely bought as a one-off: it is bought as a seasonal identity layer, refreshed each autumn, and specified by HR, brand, and procurement teams who want a small but recognisable mark that survives cold weather and frequent washing.
The first decision a buyer makes is the fibre blend, because it dictates the knit gauge, the warmth, the recovery after washing, the pilling behaviour, and the cost. Acrylic in the 70 to 100 per cent band is the workhorse of the promotional range: soft to the touch, machine-washable, inexpensive enough to be handed out at large event programmes, and available in a wide Pantone range as a yarn-dyed shade. Acrylic carries the printed or jacquard mark well, but the fibre pills faster than wool and reads as synthetic to a trained hand. Lambswool and merino wool in the 50 to 100 per cent band sit one tier above: warmer, naturally odour-resistant, and the right pick for outdoor teams, hospitality suites, and retail launches that want a softer retail feel. Wool programmes are usually smaller in volume but higher in per-unit value. Cashmere and cashmere blends are the premium tier — a 10 to 30 per cent cashmere blend with merino produces a beanie or scarf that is soft enough to retail at four figures in AMD and to read as a partner gift rather than a giveaway. Performance and outdoor knitwear — fleece-lined beanies, windproof balaclavas, technical gloves — are a separate construction: a polyester or polyamide outer shell, a fleece or merino inner lining, and a printed or embroidered mark on the cuff or the back panel. They are the right pick for ski resorts, outdoor brands, and corporate hospitality at winter events. Blankets and throws extend the range into home and travel: brushed acrylic, wool blend, or recycled polyester, hemmed or fringed, and packed in a cotton or non-woven carry strap. Two procurement points matter more than buyers expect. First, knit gauge: a finer gauge beanie takes more stitches per centimetre, more yarn, and more production time, and the gauge is part of the unit cost. Second, washing and care labels: a wool-rich beanie that is hand-wash only requires a printed care label that survives the season, and the label cost is part of the finishing steps. On pricing, indicative per-unit bands for Yerevan-delivered runs run from roughly 2 400 AMD for a single-colour jacquard acrylic beanie at 500 units to about 18 000 AMD for a cashmere-blend scarf in a rigid gift carton at 100 units; per-unit figures are quoted in AMD inclusive of 20% VAT and confirmed in writing before production.
Standard acrylic or merino beanies in two or three corporate colourways, with a small jacquard logo on the cuff and an embroidered wordmark on the back panel. Volumes of 500 to 2 000 units are typical, with a per-unit cost driven by the fibre blend and the knit gauge. Annual repeat ordering keeps the artwork setup cost amortised, and a small printed care label lets the brand rotate stock between offices, branches, and field teams.
Higher-value merino or lambswool scarves in a soft fold, presented in a kraft or rigid-board gift sleeve. Runs of 100 to 500 units are typical because the unit cost is driven by the fibre, the length, and the hem finishing. Programmes of this kind are usually planned for the autumn or winter hospitality season so delivery lands before the property's own refurbishment window closes.
Fleece-lined beanies, windproof gloves, and technical scarves for ski resorts, outdoor brands, and corporate hospitality at winter events. Polyester or polyamide outer shell, fleece or merino inner lining, and an embroidered or printed mark on the cuff or back panel. Buyers usually request a small photographic asset on the packaging and a sizing split across S-M and L-XL, and the run is split between event distribution and a small retail reserve.
A premium warmth set presented in a kraft or rigid-board gift carton, with a cashmere-blend beanie and a matching scarf, and a foil-stamped band on the gift carton. Runs of 50 to 200 sets are normal because the unit cost is driven by the fibre, the finishing steps, and the carton. Sets of this type are usually photographed for the buyer's archive and kept on a shelf for senior partner visits, board meetings, and ceremonial presentations.
