Embroidered Hat Patches

Patches on hats with embroidery give the best of both worlds—they offer a unique embroidered look and a casual appearance. This traditional option is a method of decoration used repeatedly because of its durability.

Custom embroidered patches allow you to customize everything, from the shape to the colors to the overall look. Offering the option to add more detail than direct embroidery, they can represent your company, an organization’s insignia, and much more—the only limit is your imagination.

Adding rubber patches to fitted hats is a popular option. They are made with layers of colored rubber that will give the final product an impressive 3D effect and allow for crisp color separation between colors. We can add a sewing channel to allow the stitching to be recessed and not stand out. 

There is no standard sizing as each one has a different front that can be imprinted, but the best overall sizing is between 2 to 2.25 inches tall. The width will be proportional to the overall look. To calculate the size, you need to know the largest width, so you have an accurate calculation: add up the highest point on both sides, then divide by two! This will give us our final sizing! Another option is direct embroidery, which can go up to 5" wide by 3" tall.

The answer to this question depends heavily on your logo. Simple artwork can be embroidered, printed, or made from leather or PVC, while more complicated images may need to use printing techniques like sublimation in full color or be woven.

The regular price for a custom patch hat varies depending on the brand and quantity you would like to order. For example, if you need to order 36 Richardson 112 Hats, then that will cost about $21 each. In contrast, 150 hats would only cost $15.00 per hat. The pricing will include a custom patch sewn directly to the hats. Adhesive can be used on custom shapes that follow the outline of your logo.

Hat patches are typically sewn directly onto a hat using the same sewing machines cobblers use. They will need a heavy-duty needle, especially when applying velcro. Hats generally have an unusual outline, and they can be heat pressed with adhesive as it is too difficult to follow the border of intricate images using needle and thread.

It's no secret that the best hat brands for companies to use are these top manufacturers. These keep good inventory levels, and because they're available through nationwide distribution, you can bet your bottom dollar there'll be a wide variety of colors to select from!

  1. New Era makes a great feel-good factor that gets you noticed.
  2. Richardson patch hats specialize in superior quality from almost every major sport imaginable, including baseball caps and truckers - they even offer custom embroidery service, making them ideal corporate partners because of their personalized attention to detail!

  4. Nike's excellent customer service and a great choice for your company's golf event.

Patch hats are great for any season and occasion, but what kind is right for you? If casual vibes are your thing, trucker hats, baseball, or golf caps will work fine. They're perfect for keeping the sun out of your eyes when playing a round! For those who like something Hipster-Esque, snapbacks with flat bills can be styled in many ways, while sporty types have fishing/hunting options. Your logo can be added with direct embroidery or by adding it to the front and center of your hat so it stands out proudly as an owner before anyone else does!
