Your Questions, Answered

Get clarity on everything from MOQ to shipping. We're here to make custom headwear simple.

What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom hats?

+

Our standard MOQ is 200 pieces per design/color, one of the most flexible in the industry for a custom headwear manufacturer of our quality. This makes it perfect for startups, small brands, and creators testing new designs without huge upfront investment.

How long does sampling and production take?

+

Our fast sampling takes 7-10 days. Bulk production typically takes 25-35 days, depending on complexity and order size.

We always provide a clear timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process, so you can plan your launch or event with confidence.

Can you help me with design if I only have an idea?

+

Absolutely! That's what our "Creative Partner" promise means.

Our experienced team can help you create a professional tech pack from sketches, mood boards, reference images, or even just a simple description of your vision. We'll work with you to refine materials, colors, and embellishments until it's perfect.

How do you handle shipping and customs to the US/Europe?

+

We are experts in global logistics. We offer multiple shipping options including DHL, FedEx express, and sea freight for larger orders.

We can provide DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service, where we handle all customs clearance and duties, so the price you see is the price you pay at your door. This eliminates surprises and is especially valuable in today's changing trade environment.

What file format do I need for my logo?

+

Vector files (.AI, .EPS, .PDF) are best for embroidery and printing, as they ensure crisp, scalable artwork at any size.

But don't worry if you only have a JPG or PNG--our design team can help digitize and optimize your logo for production free of charge. Just send us what you have, and we'll take care of the rest.

Still have questions? We're here to help.
