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.

Reviews
Consistent quality custom production of our unique logo, hoop/loop patches which merited repeat larger orders for our Vets To Drones organization. The Staffs professionalism simplified ordering and the prompt turn around was greatly appreciated!
Everything about our T-shirt order from the Monterey Company was OUTSTANDING. If your order happens to be small (as ours was), don't worry; they will treat you like you're one of their top customers. The order process was smooth and user-friendly from beginning to end; the communication was frequent and clear; and the quality of the final product was excellent (and captured more detail than we had imagined). Additionally, the T-shirt material was soft and durable - very top notch! And most of all, their suggestions for improving on our original artwork were perfect and added nice touches to our original ideas. Not to mention their pricing options - VERY reasonable! James and the rest of the team were a pleasure to work with. We will gladly use them again in the future!
I was a bit skeptical at first when I saw their ad. But boy did they deliver. The product looks great definitely will be ordering more!
We had what is probably considered a smaller order since we are not a company, but we had t-shirts made for an event. The entire process from beginning to end was thorough, professional, and there was great attention to detail so we would get EXACTLY what we wanted at a really excellent price. The quality of the tshirts was excellent. I would not hesitate to use Monterey Company again. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful. Thank you!
I just wanted to take a moment to share a few things about a company that I have been working with for roughly 6 years. My main contact is Josh Knowles and he is AMAZING. Monterey is professional, has quality products and is very easy to work with. Their customer service is 2nd to none and I am sure we will continue to have them produce our patches for many years to come!
Monterey Company created custom key chains that we can give to our clients with closings. They are great quality and we are very happy.
Excellent customer service from start to finish! Very smooth process, understood exactly what I needed, and the final product was perfect! Definitely using them moving forward.
