Which shapes hold a logo

A hat embroiders well when the front is stable and the logo is simpler than the panel. These are the styles on the hat grid, grouped by how the front behaves. A dad hat and a pom beanie are common searches. Neither name is on that grid. Name the blank on the quote and the proof confirms it before anything is stitched.

Structured caps

A firm front panel keeps the stitch flat. New Era NE1000, structured stretch cotton, and Port Authority C813, Flexfit cotton twill. Use these when the logo has to look the same on every head.

Snapbacks

Port Authority C402 is the snapback trucker. C932 is a five-panel snapback. The five-panel front is a smaller panel, so a compact mark fits better than a wide crest.

Truckers

Richardson 112 and the 115 Low Pro are the two Richardson truckers with a full price ladder. Also the 112PFP five-panel, the C993 foam front, and the Sport-Tek STC26 mesh. A foam or structured front is where people ask for puff. Say so on the quote. The proof confirms the stitch.

Cuffed knit

The knit on the grid is the Carhartt CT104597 Watch Cap 2.0. It is a cuffed watch cap, not a pom beanie. The cuff is a small, stretchy panel, so a short word or a simple mark stitches more cleanly than a detailed crest.

Flat stitch and 3D puff

Flat embroidery is thread laid on the fabric. That is the stitch the advertised cap price describes: a cap front, about 5,000 stitches. Puff, sometimes called 3D, pushes foam under the thread so the logo stands off a structured or foam front. This site does not publish a puff price or a puff stitch allowance. Write “puff” in the artwork note if you want it raised. The proof shows the stitch type and the price before you pay.

Placement, small type, and gradients

The number in the embroidery table is one location: the cap front. A second spot — side panel or back — is a second location, and that price is on the proof, the same way a second location is handled on a shirt. The home page prices embroidery to 8,000 stitches, then per thousand. On a cap, the advertised front still covers about 5,000 stitches. Past that, the proof names the count before you pay.

Prices already on the site

Three caps have a full quantity ladder on the embroidery page. The other seven are priced at 12 pieces on the hat grid. Both sets are all-in: hat, embroidery, digitizing, and shipping, with the standing 12% off already applied. One cap front. A denser stitch or a second location changes the proof, not this table.

Each 12-piece figure is the hat grid’s discounted all-in price (the grid also shows a higher list). The Carhartt watch cap is decorated only, per the brand note on that card. A 12-piece cap order, mixed colours, is the same floor as on small-batch custom apparel.

Questions about hats and beanies

Which hats in the grid embroider well?

The hat grid is ten styles, all shown embroidered at 12 pieces. Structured: New Era NE1000 and Port Authority C813 Flexfit. Snapback: C402 trucker and C932 five-panel. Trucker: Richardson 112, Richardson 115 Low Pro, Richardson 112PFP five-panel, Port Authority C993 foam, and Sport-Tek STC26 RacerMesh. Knit: Carhartt CT104597 Watch Cap 2.0. A dad hat and a pom beanie are not named on that grid. Put the blank you want on the quote. The proof confirms it before anything is stitched.

Is the stitch flat or 3D puff?

The advertised cap price is flat embroidery on the cap front, about 5,000 stitches. Puff embroidery is a raised stitch. This site does not publish a puff price. Say puff on the quote if you want it raised. The proof shows the stitch and the price before you pay. A cuffed watch cap is a better fit for a small flat mark than for puff, because the panel is small and the fabric stretches.

Where does the logo go, and what does not stitch well?

The embroidery table prices a cap front. A second location, such as a side or the back, is priced on the proof. Tiny type and photo gradients do not stitch as clean shapes. A few solid shapes read better on a hat than a detailed crest or a tagline. A five-panel front is a smaller panel than a structured cap, so a compact mark fits it better. The proof shows the size and the stitch count before you pay. A dense logo past about 5,000 stitches is called out there.

How do I send the logo?

Upload it on the quote form: PNG, JPG, SVG, PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, or ZIP, up to 12 MB. Vector art is the sharpest file. A description or a link is enough to start, and you can send the file later. Digitizing is included. Free mockup in 24 hours. You approve a proof before anything is stitched, and you pay after you approve. The stitch file is kept for a reorder.

Who orders these in Naperville and DuPage?

Company crews, team sidelines, school spirit, and holiday gifts. A staff cap can share a quote with polos. A winter team can add hats to hoodies. A December gift is often a smaller hat run. Quote online, delivered to you. Printed locally in Addison, IL. Made in DuPage County. One phone: (630) 324-4372, Monday through Friday, 9 to 5 Central.

What is the minimum, and how long does it take?

Embroidery starts at 12 pieces. Colours can mix in that count. Standard delivery is about 14 business days after you approve the proof. Rush is a date quoted by phone at (630) 324-4372, not a promise on this page. Free shipping over $200. If what arrives does not match the proof you approved, we reprint it or refund it.
