Custom Dad Hat — Wool Felt with UV Printing
We supply dad hat to brands, retailers, uniform and promotional programmes, made in Wool Felt with uv printing for uniform and corporate programmes. On headwear the specification that decides whether it sells or comes back is soft crown collapse, which is the point of the style but must be controlled — so that is agreed in writing before bulk, not discovered when the first carton is unpacked. Programmes start at 2000 pieces per style.
The failures here are predictable: inconsistent sizing between production runs, or a finish that tarnishes or rubs off after washing. We lock material, construction, measurement and tolerance on a pre-production sample, and prepare GB 18401 safety classification with GB/T 29862 fibre labelling 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 OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims are prepared for the destination market. We ship to Shanghai or Shenzhen 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 soft crown collapse.
FAQ
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.
Which compliance documents do you provide?
We prepare OEKO-TEX Standard 100 for dyes and trims and the supporting test reports for the destination market.
Can you do small runs across many designs?
Yes — many studio and boutique programmes run small quantities across a wide design set.
How long does sampling take?
A first sample takes 10 working days, and each revision about 4 days.
