Custom Basketballs OEM – Size 7, 6, 5, 3 | CHIBE

Indoor, outdoor, and the gym downstairs at 11 pm. Those are three different balls, and buyers who order one construction for all three come back with complaints by month two.

Our basketball range runs 140 models across moulded rubber (B22, sizes 1 to 7), laminated covers (B21, 1.0–1.6 mm PU, TPU, PVC and microfiber at 600–630 g) and the silent PU line (B23) built for apartment floors. All size 7 balls sit at 238–240 mm diameter and 580–630 g, which is where the official weight band lives.

Tell us where the ball will be used. The surface decides the cover, and the cover decides everything else.

Weights and measurements are finished-ball values. Model codes are stable across seasons, so a reorder references the same construction.

Laminated: the indoor game

Lamination glues a printed cover film onto a carcass, which allows full-colour graphics with no panel-edge white line. It is how every school mascot ball, sponsor ball and team-logo ball gets made.

A laminated size 7 runs 600–630 g at 740–750 mm circumference with a 1.0 mm to 1.6 mm PU or microfiber skin. The B21001 series uses 1.6 mm TPU with a reflective finish — those are the balls that read as premium in a retail box. Absorbent PU (B21005) exists for the sweaty-hand problem that indoor clubs complain about in summer.

Rubber: the outdoor answer

Moulded rubber (B22) is what survives a concrete court. No laminated film to peel, no seam to split. Our rubber size 7 sits at 580–620 g with a 238 mm diameter, and the same series scales down to size 5 (218 mm), size 3 (178 mm), size 2 (152 mm) and size 1 (127 mm) for mini programmes.

Surface options matter more than most buyers expect: smooth, particle, and golf texture. Particle grips a dusty outdoor court; smooth releases cleaner off the fingers indoors; golf texture hides scuffs on school borrow-and-return programmes.

Silent basketball: a niche that sells

The B23 line weighs 300–330 g at 240 mm and uses a polyurethane skin over a foam-damped carcass, so a dribble in a third-floor flat does not reach the neighbours. It sounds like a gimmick until you see the Amazon reviews.

Sizes run 5, 6 and 7. It is not a match ball. It is a gift, a dorm product and a TikTok demo, and it prints beautifully because the foam skin takes full-colour graphics without a laminate step.

Spec sheet we need from you

Size, weight band, cover material and thickness, panel count, bladder type, print colours, packaging. Eight fields. With those we return a quote and a sample timeline the same day.

If you only know the retail price you want to hit, say that instead. Working backwards from a target FOB is normal for us, and it usually lands on a 1.6 mm PVC laminated ball rather than the 1.0 mm the first draft asked for.
