Custom Peaked Cap — Spandex Blend with Steam Blocking
We supply peaked cap to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Spandex Blend with steam blocking for childrenswear and schoolwear. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is panel tension on the structured front — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 300 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: packing that arrives mixed and unusable on the line, or shade variation within one carton. 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 REACH nickel-release test for metal findings 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 panel tension on the structured front.
FAQ
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 12 working days, and each revision about 3 days.
Can you match a reference sample?
Yes. Send the trim and we match material, finish and shade, then confirm on a pre-production sample before bulk.
What packing options are available?
Bulk packed, carded, or packed to your own size and design ratio with barcodes applied.
How do you control colour on reorders?
The approved reference and the bulk standard are retained, and every reorder is checked against them before shipment.
