12 min read
Custom caps are one of the most effective branding products a company can order: high-visibility, low-cost per impression, and wanted by customers. This guide covers everything you need to order custom caps from a manufacturer.
The main cap types
- Baseball caps — six-panel structured, curved brim, the classic.
- Snapbacks — flat brim, high structured crown, plastic snap.
- Trucker caps — foam/twill front, mesh back.
- 5-panel & dad hats — low-profile, streetwear staples.
- Fitted & flexfit — sized or stretch, closed back.
- Bucket hats, beanies & visors — round out a full headwear range.
Materials & decoration
Caps are made in cotton twill, brushed cotton, corduroy, acrylic/wool knit (beanies), mesh and performance poly. Decoration is applied by 3D puff or flat embroidery, woven/leather/PVC/chenille patches, dye-sublimation or screen print — chosen to suit your artwork.
