Custom embroidered caps and hats

Branded Headwear That Gets Seen

A cap puts your logo flat at eye level, facing whoever the wearer is talking to, which makes it the most visible piece of branded clothing there is. Beanies and bucket hats give up a little of that visibility in exchange for months of wear, so most brands end up with a cap for the summer and a beanie for the winter.

We embroider caps and hats for businesses, clubs, events and brands, and every one is stitched in house by our own team. Every order comes with a free visual proof, so you can see your logo at the size and position it will sit before anything is embroidered.

The Caps and Hats We Embroider

These are the styles we are asked for most. For a closer look at each one, with the style codes we stock and where each takes a logo, see our guide to the 13 types of caps and hats you can personalise.

How We Brand Caps and Hats

Almost every cap and beanie we decorate is embroidered. Headwear is curved, seamed and often has a stiff front panel, none of which suits a flat print, while embroidery follows the shape and lasts as long as the cap does.

Designing Your Logo for Caps

The front panel of a structured cap gives you roughly the width of a business card, and a beanie cuff gives you less height again, so the shape of your logo matters more on headwear than anywhere else.

• Wide, horizontal logos suit cap front panels and beanie cuffs, both of which are wider than they are tall.
• Tall or square logos sit better on a structured cap front or a bucket hat crown than on a cuff.
• Detailed logos often need simplifying, because stitch cannot hold hairline strokes, small text or subtle gradients. A patch or a DTF transfer can carry the detail instead.
• Vectored artwork, such as an AI, EPS or PDF with the fonts outlined, gives the cleanest stitch file. Add your Pantone references and we match the thread to the closest available shade.

Caps or Beanies?

If visibility is what matters most, a structured cap or a snapback wins every time. Caps suit spring and summer, outdoor events, festivals, hospitality and sports days, while beanies suit autumn and winter, Christmas gifting and teams working outdoors. Ordering both in the same colourway means your logo is digitised once and stitched in matching thread on each, so your headwear works all year round.

What Customers Say About Our Caps

Two of the reviews cap customers have left for us on Trustpilot.

Minimums, Cost and Turnaround

Embroidered caps and hats start from 8 units, so a small team or a single event is worth doing. The unit price falls as the quantity rises, because the digitising and setup behind a run are the same for eight caps or eight hundred. Beyond quantity, three things move the price: the cap you choose, the number of positions you stitch (front, side and back are each a separate run), and the size and detail of your logo, since embroidery is priced on stitch count.

The standard turnaround is six to seven business days from artwork approval, with express available when your date is tight. A dedicated Account Manager handles your order from start to finish, and every order is sent out on tracked delivery anywhere in the UK, with shipping into Europe and worldwide available too.

Pair Them With the Rest of the Range

Caps and beanies finish off a set of branded t-shirts and hoodies, and they are a natural fit for staff in workwear and sportswear. For outdoor teams, add a beanie alongside a branded softshell or jacket.

Custom Caps and Hats: Frequently Asked Questions

Are custom caps embroidered or printed?

Embroidered, almost always. Headwear is curved, seamed and often structured with a stiff front panel, none of which suits a flat print. Where a design carries too much detail to stitch, a woven or leather patch or a DTF transfer on the front panel carries it instead.

What is the minimum order for custom caps?

Eight units for embroidery, so a small team, a club or a single event is worth doing. You can also mix cap and beanie styles in the same order with the same logo.

How long do embroidered caps take?

The standard turnaround is six to seven business days from artwork approval, with express available on request. Embroidery adds a digitising step at the start, so getting your artwork over early is the best way to keep an order on schedule.

What size logo works on a cap?

The front panel of a structured cap gives you roughly the width of a business card, and wide, horizontal shapes use it best. Solid shapes and clear letterforms stitch best, while hairline strokes, small text and gradients do not.

Can you embroider the side or back of a cap as well as the front?

Yes. The front panel carries the main logo, and the side panels or the area above the rear strap suit a smaller second mark such as a web address, a year or an initial. Each position is a separate embroidery run, so it adds to the unit cost.

Can you do 3D or puff embroidery on caps?

Yes. Foam is laid under the stitching so the lettering stands proud of the fabric. It works best with bold block letters on structured caps and snapbacks, where the front panel is solid enough to hold the shape.

Can you match my brand colours in embroidery?

Yes, within the thread range. We match to the closest available shade against your Pantone references and show you the result on the visual proof before anything goes into production.
