Bulk Quiet Red Indoor Pickleball Balls – Wholesale

Product Overview

These balls are engineered for indoor pickleball play where low acoustic emission and consistent bounce are required. The red pigment provides high visibility against typical court surfaces, aiding player tracking.

Core Construction and Materials

The core consists of a low‑density ethylene‑vinyl acetate (EVA) foam that delivers a soft feel while maintaining shape recovery. Surrounding the core is a blended shell of polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) in a 70/30 weight ratio, which balances durability with a muted impact sound.

Performance Characteristics

Indoor Application Suitability

Indoor courts often feature polished wood or synthetic surfaces that amplify ball impact noise. The selected EVA core reduces kinetic energy transfer to the floor, lowering the sound pressure level by approximately 8 dB compared with standard polypropylene balls. The red hue contrasts with both light and dark court finishes, meeting USAPA visibility guidelines for recreational play.

Quality Control and Testing

Each production lot undergoes dimensional inspection using laser micrometers (±0.1 mm resolution). Weight is verified with a precision balance calibrated to 0.01 g. Bounce consistency is assessed by dropping ten balls from a fixed height and recording the average rebound height; acceptance criterion is a standard deviation ≤2 cm. Visual inspection checks for uniform color distribution and absence of surface defects under 500 lux illumination.

Customization Options

Buyers can request adjustments to the PP/TPE shell ratio to modify hardness, which shifts the COR by up to ±0.03. Custom logos can be pad‑printed on the ball’s equatorial line using UV‑cured inks that resist abrasion. Alternative colors (e.g., neon orange, yellow) are available upon request, subject to minimum order quantities.

Packaging and Logistics for Bulk Orders

Standard wholesale packaging places 12 balls per polyethylene inner bag, with 20 bags packed into a corrugated carton (dimensions 400 mm × 300 mm × 200 mm). Cartons are stacked on Euro‑pallets (800 mm × 1200 mm) and secured with stretch film; each pallet holds 48 cartons, totaling 11 520 balls. Pallets are labeled with lot numbers and QR codes linking to the batch test report.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can the ball’s bounce be tuned for specific court speeds? – Yes, by altering the PP/TPE ratio or EVA density, the COR can be adjusted within the range 0.44–0.52.
• What information is required for a quotation? – Required details include desired quantity, any customization (color, logo, hardness), preferred packaging, and delivery destination.
• How is product quality verified before shipment? – Each lot is accompanied by a test certificate showing average weight, diameter, bounce height, and noise level, based on the inspections described above.
• What is the typical lead time for a bulk order of 50 000 balls? – Production lead time is four weeks after receipt of approved artwork and payment, subject to material availability.
