One of the more affordable and simple ways to promote your brand to the general public is through hats. We think embroidered baseball caps are a great way to display your logo or tagline, whether you wear them yourself, give them away to customers, or sell them to clients.
In other words, embroidery will last longer. The fabric and structure of the longer-lasting hat styles do not lend themselves to screen printing; instead, customization is only possible through embroidery. There are options for screen printing on some types of hats, but if you want to get the most value for your money when making a custom hat, embroidery is the way to go.
When embroidering a hat, there are a few different designs to take into account:
So many locations! You can follow the standard path by going front and center. Alternatively, you could use the modern design trend of off-centering the front-facing panels to the left or right. The side or back of your custom baseball hats is an additional area to think about customizing. The logo should be no larger than 5" wide by 2.5" tall on the front and 3" wide by 2.5" tall on the side. Regarding the back, the area is 2.5" wide by 0.75" tall, arched over the opening for an enclosure, and 2.5" wide by 1.5" tall.
Whoa, what about the brim, some have asked? That requires an additional level of customization and a minimum order quantity because it can only be made when the hat is being made. All of our custom embroidered hats are purchased through our many suppliers as finished goods with predetermined fabrics, colors, and structures.
Your logo will stand out when embroidered baseball cap, but there are restrictions, as with anything. For best results, text lettering should be at least 14" tall. If your logo has gradients or shadowing, you should get rid of them because they won't translate well to a small space. Additionally difficult to see and reproduce are fine lines. The secret is to keep the design's integrity while simplifying.
