Custom Graduation Leis with School Colors: The OEM Guide for 2027

Generic leis are fine for a party store. But when a whole graduating class wears your school's exact colors — with the year, maybe a mascot patch — the ceremony photographs like a brand campaign. Here's how custom (OEM) lei orders actually work, end to end.

What You Can Customize

Option What You Can Specify
Colors Any 2–3 ribbon combination, matched to your school or team colors
Year & text print "2026", "GRAD", "Class of 2026" or custom wording printed on the ribbon
Embroidered patches GRAD letters, diploma scroll, star, mascot — stitched at the lei center
Length Standard 120cm/47in, or custom (kids, plus-size, hooded gowns)
Set composition Lei only, lei + honor cord, or full set with sash/stole
Packaging Bulk bags, polybag with header card, branded gift box

The Order Process

  1. Tell us your idea — colors, year, quantity, deadline. We confirm feasibility and pricing.
  2. Sample in 7 days — we produce a physical sample for your approval before any bulk commitment.
  3. Bulk production — 15–30 days depending on quantity, after sample sign-off.
  4. Delivery — on time for your ceremony, via express or sea freight.

MOQ and Pricing

  • Custom orders: from 20 pcs — low enough for a single class, scalable to 10,000+ university runs.
  • Standard styles: from 1 dozen at wholesale tier prices.
  • Custom woven lei with year print: from $3.60/pc (120cm).
  • Embroidered patch versions and logo/packaging are quoted per design.

Start with our custom 120cm lei with embroidered patches as your template, then adjust colors, text and patch to your school.
