Custom caps and headwear for your brand

Choosing the right cap and branding

Start with where the cap will be used. Construction workers and sports clubs often want a structured six-panel cap; fashion and hospitality brands lean toward unstructured or trucker styles; sun-heavy outdoor teams may prefer bucket hats or brimmed headwear. Beanies suit winter staff wear and promotions.

Tell us the style, colour and quantity you have in mind, or ask us to quote suitable blanks. We can also brand caps you supply, provided the panel can be hooped or pressed properly.

Custom caps suit staff, teams, events and giveaways.

Flat and 3D puff embroidery

Flat embroidery stitches your logo into the front panel for a classic, hard-wearing look. 3D puff embroidery lays stitches over a foam layer so the lettering stands proud of the cap, which gives bold logos and short names a striking raised effect. It works best on thick lettering and simple shapes rather than thin lines.

Both options need a digitised stitch file. Send a vector logo and the size you want, and we will confirm whether the design suits flat or puff before quoting. For more on stitching, see embroidery.

Printed caps and when to choose them

When a logo has many colours, gradients or fine detail that will not stitch cleanly, printing is the better route. Transfers and direct printing can reproduce full-colour artwork on a cap front, and small runs are practical. Printed caps feel flatter than embroidery and are less rugged under heavy wear, so we recommend them for events and short campaigns rather than daily uniforms.

Compare DTF printing and embroidery with us if you are unsure which will look better with your design.

Artwork, quantity and turnaround

Send your logo as a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF or CDR) or a clean, high-resolution PNG, with the target size on the cap and thread or ink colours. Placement can include the front panel, side, back strap area or peak, depending on the cap.

Urgent caps are sometimes possible, subject to capacity, job size, approved artwork, payment and a confirmed deadline. We confirm timing on your written quote. Collect in Rivonia once we confirm the order is ready, or request a delivery quote.

Send your logo and quantity and we will quote custom caps in writing.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3D puff embroidery?

It is embroidery stitched over foam so letters and shapes rise above the cap. It suits bold, simple logos and short text, and it is less suited to thin lines or tiny details.

Is embroidery or printing better for caps?

Embroidery is more durable and gives a premium look. Printing handles full-colour detail better. We advise on the best fit once we see your logo.

Can you brand caps I already have?

Usually yes, if the cap can be hooped or pressed cleanly. Send us the cap type or a photo and we will confirm.

Do I need a digitised logo?

For embroidery, yes. We prepare the stitch file as part of the job and confirm any digitising cost on the quote.

Can I order a mix of colours?

Yes, tell us how many of each colour. Using the same logo across colours helps the quote stay simple.
