Why Labret Length Is the Most Misordered Spec in Wholesale<\/h2>\n

Labret studs are sold by three numbers: gauge (thickness), post length, and top\/disc size. Buyers almost never get gauge wrong \u2014 but post length causes more returns and dead stock than any other parameter. A post that is too short swallows the disc into swollen tissue; a post that is too long sticks out, snags on clothing and migrates. This guide is the millimeter-level reference we use in our own factory for flat-back labret production.<\/p>\n

The Millimeter Matrix by Placement<\/h2>\n

Wearable length is measured from the inside of the flat disc to the top of the threaded or press-fit end, excluding the decorative top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wholesale rule of thumb:<\/strong> stock 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm in every popular gauge and you cover approximately 95% of labret demand. Our wholesale labret studs collection<\/a> lets you mix lengths within a single 10-piece MOQ, so building this matrix is cheap.<\/p>\n
