Caps/Hats

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom manufactured caps and hats?

Our factory-direct MOQ starts at only 50 to 100 pcs per style/design. We fully support multi-color fabric splitting (e.g. splitting 100 pcs across solid black, navy/tan mesh, and olive green) and multi-patch pairings within the same production batch.

Q: What custom logo, patch, and branding techniques can be combined on a single cap?

We offer a complete suite of in-house headwear branding options: 3D raised puff embroidery, flat direct embroidery, laser-engraved top-grain leather patches, 3D matte silicone rubber badges, high-density damask woven labels, antique metal badges, custom printed/jacquard interior seam taping, custom woven sweatband tags, and 3M Scotchlite reflective transfers.

Q: How does your factory guarantee cap crown structure and prevent crushing during shipping?

For structured caps, we fuse a high-resilience double-layer hard buckram core to the front panels that delivers permanent shape-memory recovery. During packaging, caps are nested over custom rigid cardboard anti-crush crown support domes inside cellular inner display boxes and packed into heavy-duty 5-ply export master cartons, ensuring 100% uncreased arrival integrity.

Q: What retail-ready packaging and sustainable packaging options do you supply?

We provide comprehensive retail presentation packaging: 24-piece pop-up countertop display boxes with curved divider trays, frosted waterproof EVA zipper pouches with Euro-slot hanging holes, unbleached 100% cotton canvas drawstring dust bags, metallic gold/silver visor stickers, and kraft paper hang tags with brass eyelets.
