Hat decoration options

Choose the right decoration method
for the right hat

The decoration method can make or break a branded hat. Some logos
call for classic embroidery, some for the full-color detail of sublimation, and
others for the texture and dimension of a patch.

The right fit depends on the artwork, hat style, brand feel and timeline. Whatever the look, we’ll help match the right decoration method to the project.
