Frequently Asked Questions

Popular options include embroidery (flat or 3D puff), woven/embroidered patches, leather/PU patches (laser or printed), screen print or heat-transfer on select front panels (e.g., foam truckers), and dye-sublimation on performance fabrics and certain patch types.
Many caps allow seam-crossing embroidery. Very thick center seams or heavy seam taping can limit detail. Mesh backs typically aren’t embroidered; a patch is often recommended for fine detail or mesh locations.
Minimums vary by brand and decoration. Many programs start around 24–48 pieces for domestic embroidery; patch programs or specialty techniques may start at 50–100+. Fully custom/import programs are higher.
We match embroidery thread to the closest available stock shades. For ink/transfer prints, PMS matching is available on qualifying methods. Fabric color and texture can affect perceived matches.
Provide vector art (AI, EPS, or PDF with fonts outlined). We’ll handle digitizing for embroidery. For photo or full-color processes (sublimation/print transfers), supply 300 DPI raster at imprint size and include PMS values.
Common placements include front center, front offset, left/right side panel, back above the opening, and visor/bill (select models). Underbill and wrap options may be available depending on style and method.
Yes—3D puff works well on bold shapes and letters. Minimum stroke widths and spacing apply; very fine detail is better as flat embroidery or a patch. We’ll advise during proofing.
Most programs ship in about 2–3 weeks after proof approval. Patch production or specialty methods can add time. Share your in-hands date—rush options may be available.
Options include snapback, strapback, trucker, dad, fitted, and performance caps, plus beanies. Most are one-size adjustable; fitted styles come in sizes.
Spot clean is recommended; avoid machine wash/dry to preserve shape and decoration. Heat can distort 3D puff. Certain states may require labeling (e.g., Prop 65); youth items may have additional CPSIA requirements.
