Caps & Hats
Embroidery vs printing on caps
Caps and hats are a compact branding item, popular for teams, events and promotional giveaways, but the curved, structured shape of a cap front means design and application differ from flat garment printing, so simple, bold logos generally work better than detailed or wide designs.
Embroidery is the more common and durable choice for caps specifically, since a curved cap front puts more stress on a printed design than a flat t-shirt does, and embroidered logos tend to hold their shape and colour better over repeated wear.
Sizing for a large cap order
Because caps often come in one size or a limited size range, they're a practical, lower-cost option for a large team or event order compared with sized garments like t-shirts or jackets, where every size needs planning individually.
Adjustable strap or fitted caps both work well for branding, but fitted caps need accurate sizing per person while adjustable caps offer more flexibility for a mixed group or public giveaway where you won't know everyone's size in advance.

Branded and personalised clothing is commonly used for workwear, teams, events and promotional giveaways. We print using DTF (direct-to-film), which handles full-colour and photographic designs well and has no large minimum order, so it works for both a single garment and a bulk branded order. Garment colour affects how a design will appear, and quantity affects price per item.
