You work directly with the production team, ensuring your custom headwear meets exact specifications.
What is your MOQ for custom caps?
+
Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 200 pieces per design. This low MOQ makes us perfect for startups, small brands, content creators, and businesses testing new markets. Each color variation or design change counts as a separate design for MOQ purposes.
Can you do private label hats?
+
Yes, we specialize in private label and OEM/ODM services. We can manufacture hats with your brand labels, custom packaging, hang tags, and even develop exclusive designs. Your brand identity is fully protected, and we never sell your designs to competitors.
What's your sampling time?
+
Our standard sampling time is 7-10 days after design confirmation and sample payment. For rush orders, we can expedite to 5-7 days. Sample cost varies by complexity but typically ranges from $30-80 per piece, which is refundable upon bulk order placement.
What is your production lead time?

Standard production time is 15-25 days after order confirmation and deposit payment. Lead time depends on order quantity, customization complexity, and current production schedule. During peak seasons (March-May, September-November), allow 3-5 additional days.
What logo methods do you offer?
+
We offer multiple customization methods: embroidery (flat, 3D puff, applique), screen printing, heat transfer, rubber/PVC patches, woven labels, leather patches, and metal badges. Each method has different minimum quantities and pricing. Our design team can recommend the best approach for your logo and budget.
Can you match Pantone colors?
+
Yes, we can match Pantone colors for both fabric and embroidery threads. Please provide specific Pantone codes (e.g., PMS 186 C) for accurate color matching. Note that slight variations may occur due to different materials and lighting conditions. We always provide samples for color approval before bulk production.
How do you ensure quality control?
+
We implement a 3-stage quality control process: incoming material inspection, in-line production checks, and final pre-shipment inspection. Each order undergoes random sampling at 10% of total quantity. We also provide detailed QC photos before shipment and can arrange third-party inspections if required.
Do you ship to the USA, Canada, and Europe?
+
Yes, we ship globally to 50+ countries including USA, Canada, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Australia, and throughout Europe. We have extensive experience with customs documentation and can handle all export procedures. Delivery times vary by destination and shipping method chosen.
What shipping methods do you support?

We offer multiple shipping options: DHL Express (3-5 days), FedEx (4-6 days), UPS (5-7 days) for urgent orders, and sea freight (20-35 days) for large quantities. Air freight is available for medium-sized orders. We'll recommend the most cost-effective method based on your timeline and budget.
