Other Hats & Caps Customization Program for Sports Teams and Clubs with Care Label
Other Hats & Caps Solution for Sports Teams and Clubs
This programme covers the full path from a other hats & caps concept to a repeatable bulk supply for sports teams and clubs. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the cloth, the fit block, the decoration method and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one.
The most common failure we see in sports teams and clubs sourcing is not price — it is drift. Fabric changes supplier, the shade moves, sizing shifts half a grade and the programme quietly stops looking like the brand. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
Recommended fabrics
- Anti-Static Fabric — chosen when the garment needs to hold shape after repeated laundering
- Chiffon — used when durability and abrasion resistance come first
- Alpaca — used when durability and abrasion resistance come first
- French Terry — selected for colour depth and print sharpness
Decoration and finishing
The default method for this programme is Care Label, but we routinely combine processes on one garment. Placement, colour count and position drives cost more than the garment itself, so we quote decoration separately and show you the trade-off before sampling.
- Stone Wash
- Chain Stitch Embroidery
- 3D Puff Embroidery
- Padding and Wadding
- Applique Embroidery
- Embossing

FAQ
Do you provide compliance documents?
We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for WRAP, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.
What file formats do you need for artwork?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.
How is shipping handled?
We quote EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP. Consolidated sea freight is the default for bulk programmes, with air or express options when a launch date is at risk.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Standard programmes start at 500 pieces per style and colour. We can split sizes across a size set, and for first orders we often accept a mixed-colour run to help you test the market.
