Whether worn by team members at your company’s next sporting event or by customers at a local cafe, custom caps are a perfect branding tool for any business. With high-quality embroidery, these hats become walking billboards for your brand and can boost the visibility of your logo in your target market.
Embroidery is a time-honored decoration method that’s ideal for cap logos with a higher level of detail. This traditional and proven technique is also a popular look for style-conscious consumers looking for a more refined style.
As with all embroidery, the size of your design is critical to your final product. If your logo is too small, it can be difficult to read and will not produce a crisp image. Conversely, if your logo is too large, it can cover up important details in the cap’s structure and may end up looking cramped or blotchy.
To ensure that your logo is at the perfect size for a cap, we recommend starting at about half to three-quarters of an inch up from the metal strap that goes across the front of the cap. This ensures that the embroidery will be positioned correctly on the curved surface of the cap.
Another important consideration is the size of your text. It’s crucial to keep in mind that the text on a cap will be smaller than on other apparel, so you should make sure that your text is digitized to account for this. If you don’t, the text could end up being too small to be readable and will not look as good as it would on flats.
Achieving flawless embroidery on a cap requires expert knowledge of the best techniques and practices. This is especially true if your embroidery machine is a multi-head one, which can embroider multiple caps at once. This type of equipment is a great investment for startups and small businesses, as it allows you to maximize your profit potential while keeping up with the demand for customized caps. For example, the multi-head embroidery machines offered by Ricoma can embroider up to 12 caps at once, making them an excellent option for any business that wants to maximize their profits and increase their production capacity.
