Machine embroidery
The B2B classic — durable and elegant
Your logo stitched in thread directly onto the cap. The most prestigious method — the finish lasts for years and looks superb on knits and cotton.

Methods
8 decoration methods for caps.
Every method has its own strengths. We'll tell you which one suits your logo, quantity and budget.
3D embroidery
A raised effect — the logo stands 2-3 mm proud
A foam padding hidden beneath the thread creates the 3D effect. The most recognisable style — the look you know from the caps of American NBA and NFL teams.

DTF print
Full colour, gradients, photographs
Direct-to-film: full-colour printing with no limits. Ideal for complex artwork where embroidery wouldn't work — gradients, shading, photographs.
See DTF print →
Reflective prints
Your logo lights up in the headlights
A logo made from reflective film, cut to shape and heat-applied to the cap. Silver-grey by day; after dark it reflects car headlights and torchlight — visibility and branding in one.

Woven patches
Woven from thread — patches, flag labels, labels
A patch woven from fine threads and sewn onto the front or side of the cap; also a flag label sewn into the edge and a label in the seam. A woven texture with a classic, crafted character.

Printed patches
Full colour — appliqués cut to the outline
A patch printed in full colour (sublimation / DTF) and laser-cut precisely to the outline of your logo; also sublimated flag labels for the edge and printed labels. Gradients and photos with no colour limit.

Rubber prints
3D rubber print — a modern look
A logo made from a vibrant, springy elastomer compound. Waterproof, slightly raised and extremely durable. Great for tech, sports and streetwear brands.

Engraved faux leather
Laser-engraved, premium look

FAQ
Cap decoration: frequently asked questions.
What is the minimum order for caps with a company logo?
Stock caps with embroidery, 3D embroidery, DTF print, reflective print or engraved faux leather are available from 1 piece. Printed patches start at 10 pcs, woven patches and rubber prints at 25 pcs, and hats knitted to order with a knitted-in logo at 30 pcs. Scarves knitted to order also start at 30 pcs, as do printed multifunctional neck tubes. The unit price drops as the quantity goes up.
What is the lead time for caps with a logo?
Stock caps with decoration are ready in 5–10 working days from receipt of payment or approval of the design (sample), whichever is later. For woven patches, allow approx. 10–15 working days; a first order of rubber prints also needs time for the mould to be made. Hats knitted to order with a knitted-in logo take 3–5 weeks from approval of the design and sample, as do scarves knitted to order; printed multifunctional neck tubes take 2–3 weeks from approval of the design.
What file format should I upload my logo in?
Ideally a vector file: AI, EPS, SVG or PDF, which gives the best possible quality. We also accept PNG/JPG at min. 300 DPI. Only have a poor-quality file (a photo, a screenshot, low resolution)? Send us what you have and we'll see what can be done with it.
Cap embroidery or printing — which is right for my logo?
A logo with clear, defined shapes → embroidery (the most prestigious finish, up to 12 thread colours). Logos with gradients, photographs or very fine detail → DTF print. Not sure? Send us your file and we'll recommend the best option for your logo and quantity.
Does embroidery work on every fabric?
Practically yes: cotton, knit, twill, fleece, softshell. The exceptions are very thin / sheer materials and some technical membranes. Unsure about your model? Send us the artwork or a photo of the cap and we'll check and advise.
Can I see a sample before production?
Always. As standard, we send photos of the sample for your approval (the fastest option). On request, we also make a physical sample and send it by courier, so you can judge the quality and colours in person.
What is the maximum stitch count you can handle?
As standard, up to ~15,000 stitches per side of the cap. Above that, we check case by case whether it makes sense (dense embroidery can put strain on the fabric). Complex logos are often better done as a DTF print or a patch.
What about thread / print colours?
We work with the Pantone palette and match the colour to your brand book. In your order, give us the Pantone number or send a file with CMYK/RGB colours, and we'll pick the closest matching thread. You approve the choice before production.
