Custom Baseball Cap — Quilted Padding with Hand Braiding
We supply baseball cap to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Quilted Padding with hand braiding for e-commerce and small-batch brands. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is crown structure, which decides whether the cap holds its shape — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 1000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: shade variation within one carton, or minimum order quantities far above what a growing brand can absorb. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare UKCA and REACH documentation so the container clears instead of missing the season it was bought for.

Packing, testing and delivery
Pieces are packed to the ratio you specify — by size, by colour or by style set — with barcodes applied where the channel needs them, and shape-protected where the profile cannot be crushed. Test reports for azo dye-free declaration are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Felixstowe with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin, and keep the approved reference on file so reorders reproduce the same material, the same construction and the same crown structure.
