Frequently Asked Questions
What is the production time for custom-designed hats?
The average production time for hat with patches is 4 weeks, while hats with embroidery is typically 2 weeks. Rush orders are available, just ask your customer service rep.
What is the minimum order quantity for your hat order?
The minimum order requirement for custom logo hats is 24, with outstanding tiered price breaks.
Can you screen print on hats?
Unfortunately, we don't offer screen printing on hats. We replaced that option with DTF print on hats. We find that DTF offers more design possibilities, lasts longer, and is faster to produce.
What is the difference between patches and embroidery for hats?
Patches are custom produced in a variety of materials like thread, leather, and PVC rubber. After the patch is produced, we sew the patch directly onto the hat. We do not heat transfer our patches. We find sewing to be a much more secure option.
Embroidery is your own logo stitched directly onto the hat with an embroidery machine. Offered in flat and 3D embroidery.
Can I order to sample first?
Yes, we do offer preproduction samples for hats. The cost does depend on the style of cap, decoration option, and quantity requested. Ask your sales rep for the cost for samples. We also offer free shipping within the United States for for patch samples, if you are wondering what the best patch option is with your logo.
Can I order different hat colors in my order?
Yes, you can order different color options in your order! When ordering different hat colors within your order, please reach out directly to a sales rep. Do not use our online store.
Can I order different hat styles in my order?

The hats we received were great! We will be shopping with you all again very soon!
My experience was amazing from start to finish. Cortney really helped me through this process and the personalized earrings turned out beautifully. She was able to get me the order delivered before my desired timeframe, very pleased and will use Monterey Company again in the future.
We had a great experience with Monterey Co. Their customer service was excellent with prompt, clear, and concise communication. Their products were as expected and we look forward to having them for our golf outing.
People always ask me where my pins are made and I tell them right here in Oregon. Badass pins and quick responses all in English. I’ve dealt with making pins over seas and it’s a struggle communicating and the time difference does not help.
I’ve ordered patches and coins through Monterey Company. They’ve always done a good job both with product and the customer service.
You guys did well, as usual. But UPS needs some coaching on its tracking communications. Thanks
They did a great job and quickly fixed a small problem I had. I will use them again
The PVC patches I ordered came out looking really nice, and the whole process was fairly easy.
The rep was super helpful at getting the colors perfect for my order. And he was also extremely patient with me. Overall, a supremely great experience!
Quick turnaround on the Patches, Thank you and looking forward to future orders. The details were amazing.
Had a really great experience with Josh P. Quick to respond, updated me with timelines almost every day, delivered much earlier than expected. Received the product and met expectations. Definitely ordering again!
The Monterey Company will now be my go to maker of keychains. (Guess I better check out their other products as well!) Ordered these keychains from Josh and he was great to work with very personable and knowledgeable. I actually look at them last February and wasn’t ready to order until June. He kindly reminded me without any “high pressure.” Great place to get your swag!!
The stickers and patches I ordered could not have turned out better. Josh was excellent to work with and helped me make sure that my designed turned out the way I wanted on the stickers, as well as helped frame the design for the patch so the details came through correctly. This was my second time using Monterey and I will be coming back again the next time
The lapel pins came out amazing and the price was better than other quotes I received. I highly recommend this company.
Got great embroidered hats from this company. The price was reasonable and the hats came out great. Fast shipping and good customer service!
We use Monterey Company for our Conference to create custom pins. They are AMAZING! They capture every little detail of our logo and make it such a special keepsake for our attendees. We will keep coming back!
Awesome Service! Went above and beyond to esnure I got my order as needed!
Wow! Great company. So easy to work with, excellent communication and the products were top quality. (Hats with sewn patches on this go around). I will definitley be using Monterey Company for our promo needs.
Super quality PVC logos! Josh has been fantastic to work with and very prompt with communications. Thanks so much!
Even cuter than the proofs! They're absolutely perfect, and Monterey Company's customer service was just the icing on the cake. Thank you!
Monterey made coins for our military unit. They were very easy to work with and provided very reasonable prices. The coins are excellent quality and look and feel great. Mr. Turney in sales really helped us out. Much appreciated!
Had a great experience working Monterey Company and their team. I will recommend them to anyone.
Client was very pleased with the pins upon delivery. I was pleased with the service and assistance during the product design phase.
I worked with The Monterey Company to manufacture Lake Superior charms for my jewelry company. They turned out excellent and the service provided by Eric was top notch. Thanks!
Ordered 50 custom pins. Great people to work with. Josh was outstanding!! Packaging was outstanding, all individually packaged. Most definitely making a second order and referring others to this company.
The Monterey Company was great to work with. The custom leather and woven patches came out great! The stitching on the hats were perfect. Couldn't be happier with the products.
Great place to do business with. The quality is beyond my expectations. Josh is an amazing rep who answered all questions immediately. Will work with again 100%
I would like to express my sincere thanks to Eric Turney and the entire team of the Monterey Company for your communicative cooperation. And last but not least, for another beautifully designed and perfect-looking badge for the Tuvalu Football Association. After the badges for the football associations of Comoros, New Caledonia, and East Timor, this is now the fifth project I have completed through Monterey Company to everyone's complete satisfaction. My very special thanks again for that.
I ran a business for a few years, found these guys and purchased from them directly, had a stroke and the company I gave everything to kicked me to the curb I saw some new stuff coming out that I liked and all I did was email and ask if they were making the new stuff I seen and I was told they couldn’t talk to me anymore even though i was looking to be a customer to them on my own, I just think that’s bad business.i wasn’t trying to sabotage anyone or anything just figure out my next chapter in life.
Our 501c7 has learned to rely on Monterey, not only for their high quality & bang for the buck, but for their professional integrity as well; when production was challenged by external circumstances, they were able to find a work-around which saved the day...
I have used Monterey Company for years. Way back when my girls played softball and now for my Grandsons and their baseball teams.
Great company to work with! I got product samples made of charms that I plan to sell before I go into mass production. The samples arrived as expected and they were amazing! Excellent quality, fair prices and wonderful customer service. I highly recommend the Monterey Company, you won't be disappointed!
We had an excellent experience with Josh at the Monterey Company. He was fast, responsive, and efficient. Our race medals came out great!
