KEY FACTS & INFORMATION ABOUT EMBROIDERY ON CAPS

 

We don’t screen print onto caps or heat press transfer prints onto custom caps, we embroider directly into the fabric of the cap whether your design is on the front back or sides of the cap.

CAP EMBROIDERY DESIGN

Remember to size your design down to the size it will embroider to see how the elements of your design will display. Embroidery is a ‘low res medium’ as it uses thread and fabric, small detail will not embroider well. Ideal lettering should not go below 8mm high and serif styled fonts at this size need to be thickened up.

SNAPBACK & ADJUSTABLE

Snapback caps have a plastic adjuster at the rear of the cap. Other adjustable caps have velcro (rip strip) or buckle style adjuster to fit a wide range of sizes.

5 PANEL vs 6 PANEL CAPS

6 Panel caps are made up of 6 panels to fit round the head. This means the cap has two panels that meet on the front of the cap causing a seem with a slight indent. This can sometimes effect your design when embroidering over this area on a 6 Panel cap. 5 panel caps don’t have this join on the front panel, which makes for a smoother embroidery.

FLEXFIT CAPS

Flexfit caps have an elasticated crown to fit snugly on the head. Some brands of caps come in various sizes.
