Hats are in hot demand. Help your clients upgrade their headwear promos with unique decoration techniques. With this comprehensive guide by your side, you’ll be able to pitch and explain every imprint method like a pro. Let’s get started.

One Hat, Every Decoration Method:

Looking for a hat style to get started with? While almost all of Paramount Apparel’s hats will work for the decoration techniques in this guide, we recommend giving the Garment-Washed Cap a try. Not only is it super versatile, it works with many methods and comes in a wide variety of colors so you can make your client’s artwork pop.

Decoration Methods:

Traditional Embroidery

Embroidery is likely the hat decoration technique you and your clients are most familiar with. With this method, your client’s artwork is digitized (converted into a digital file that tells an embroidery machine how to stitch the design). Then, artwork is stitched on each hat, creating an embroidered design with a three-dimensional feel – a crowd pleaser for traditionalists and trend-setters alike.

3-D Flex

If your clients like patches but want extremely crisp graphics, the 3-D Flex method will be a great fit. Rather than being constructed with thread, these textured patches are made from a flexible, abrasion-resistant plastic and applied to products using heat. The result? Durable decoration and vibrant colors that take headwear promos to the next level.
