Minimum order quantities for custom headwear vary depending on the hat or beanie style, decoration method, and manufacturer. Embroidered stock headwear may have lower minimums than fully custom hats or beanies. Your Account Manager can help you compare options and find a solution that fits your quantity, budget, and branding goals.

In many cases, you can mix available headwear colors within the same order when the logo, decoration size, placement, and thread or imprint colors remain identical. Fitted hats may also be ordered in multiple sizes when available. Mixing styles, materials, or decoration methods may require separate production runs or minimum quantities.

Most decorated stock headwear orders ship within approximately 2 to 4 weeks after your art proof and final order confirmation are approved. Fully custom hats, custom beanies, specialty patches, and complex decoration may require additional production time. Turnaround also depends on product availability, order size, and seasonal production capacity.

Yes. Grandstand specializes in bulk B2B headwear and offers volume-based pricing on custom hats, beanies, patches, and other branded merchandise. Larger quantities generally provide a lower per-unit cost, making bulk ordering a cost-effective option for employee programs, retail merchandise, promotional campaigns, and large events.

Available decoration methods depend on the construction and material of the selected headwear. Options may include direct embroidery, embroidered patches, woven patches, leather or faux-leather patches, rubber patches, sublimated patches, and select printed applications. We will recommend a decoration method that complements your artwork and chosen hat or beanie.

Stock headwear begins with an existing hat or beanie style that is decorated with your logo or artwork. Fully custom headwear offers greater control over features such as fabric colors, panels, closures, labels, trims, patterns, and decoration placement. Stock options typically provide faster turnaround, while fully custom programs are ideal for creating distinctive retail-quality merchandise.

Our headwear selection includes adjustable hats, fitted hats, dad hats, trucker hats, bucket hats, five-panel hats, six-panel hats, cuffed beanies, uncuffed beanies, chunky knit beanies, and pom beanies. We also offer fully custom hats and beanies for businesses seeking more control over construction, colors, trims, and branding.

Yes. After you place an order online or through an Account Manager, you will receive an official art proof and order confirmation by email. The proof allows you to review the artwork, placement, size, and decoration details. Production will not begin until you approve the proof and order information.

For the best results, we recommend submitting vector artwork in .AI, .EPS, or vector .PDF format with all fonts converted to outlines. High-resolution .PNG or .JPG files may also be accepted. Our design team will review your artwork and let you know if adjustments or embroidery digitizing are needed before production.

Orders can generally be canceled before the formal art proof and order confirmation are approved. Once blank headwear has been allocated, artwork has been digitized, custom materials have been ordered, or production has begun, cancellation or restocking fees may apply. Fully custom headwear may not be cancelable after manufacturing has started.
