Your brand, built into the cap — not just printed on it

Private Label Hats are fully custom and manufactured to order. You control everything a stock blank can’t give you: crown height, panel count and construction, fabric (50+ options), Pantone-matched colors, closure, visor shape, underbrim, sweatband, decoration, and even your own woven inside label, hangtag, and packaging. We design a digital proof and make a physical sample before you commit a single dollar to production.

Truly custom — inside to front

This isn’t decorating a stock hat. It’s engineering your cap from the crown down: fabric, fit, shape, hardware, labels, and packaging.

How it works

Four simple steps from your idea to caps on the doorstep.

1

Submit your idea & logo

Send your concept, artwork, and any reference hats. Tell us the look, the fit, and where you’ll use them.

2

We design a proof & sample

We turn your idea into a digital proof, refine it with you, then produce a physical sample of the actual cap.

3

You approve

Wear it, check the stitching, confirm colors and labels. Nothing goes to production until you sign off.

4

We manufacture & deliver

Your full run is built at the factory and shipped duty-paid to your door in about 10–14 weeks.

Featured styles

Start from a proven silhouette and make it your own — change the fabric, crown, closure, visor, and decoration to build the exact hat your brand needs.

Need a smaller run or a faster turnaround? That’s a different product. For quantities under 100 or a 2–3 week timeline, see our embroidered and printed Hats & Beanies — stock caps decorated in-house with low minimums (embroidery from 6, screen print from 12).

Custom private label hats — frequently asked

What’s the minimum order for private label hats?
The minimum is 100 pieces per style, per color. Knit beanies have a 300-piece minimum. Because these hats are fully custom and manufactured to order — not decorated from stock — each run is set up specifically for you. If you need fewer than 100, our in-house embroidered and printed Hats & Beanies start at 6–12 pieces.
How much do custom private label hats cost?
Pricing is quote-based, because the cost depends on the style, the decoration method, the materials, and the quantity. Larger runs lower the per-unit price. Send us your project and we’ll put together a detailed quote — there’s no cost to get a proof and a price.
How long does a custom hat order take?
About 10 to 14 weeks for a first fully-custom run: roughly 2–3 weeks for sampling, 6–7 weeks for production, plus freight. Reorders of an approved style are faster.
Can I get a sample before I order?
Yes. Every project includes a free digital proof, and we produce a physical pre-production sample of the actual cap so you can hold, wear, and approve it before we manufacture the full run.
Can I put my own label inside the hat, plus hangtags and packaging?
Yes. You can add a custom woven or printed inside label, a branded hangtag, and custom packaging. It’s what makes these truly private-label — your brand from the inside out, retail-ready.
What decoration methods can you do on custom hats?
Flat and 3D/puff embroidery, woven and embroidered patches, leather patches, PVC/rubber patches, silicone, screen and heat-transfer printing, sublimation, and debossing/embossing — plus custom labels and hangtags.
What’s the difference between this and your embroidered Hats & Beanies?
Private Label Hats are manufactured from scratch at the factory — you choose the fabric, construction, fit, hardware, labels, and packaging, with a 100-piece minimum and a 10–14 week timeline. Our Hats & Beanies are quality stock caps we decorate in-house, with low minimums (6–12) and a 2–3 week turnaround.
