Review and order
Check the embroidered hat mockup, confirm details like thread colors and sizing, and submit the order for production and shipping.
Custom embroidered baseball hats
Structured crowns and curved or flat bills give logos a clean, classic base.
Embroidered dad hats
Dad hats have a relaxed, unstructured fit, so a small embroidered logo has a soft, low-profile look.
Embroidered snapbacks and fitted caps
Snapback caps are one of the most popular choices for hat embroidery designs, and an adjustable closure fits a range of head sizes, without needing a separate fitted size.
Trucker hats, bucket hats, and beanies
Shop trusted cap brands, then add your embroidery
Caps from Yupoong, Otto Cap, Flexfit, As Colour, Beechfield, Big Accessories, Sportsman, Under Armour, and Richardson all feature embroidery-ready front panels and are among the most popular models.
- The Richardson 112 trucker remains the best-selling trucker cap in the US, available in over 50 colorways, while the low-profile Richardson 115 has the same six-panel build but sits closer to the head, with a low-profile crown and premium materials.
- The Yupoong 6606 retro trucker cap features a mid-profile, structured design with a Permacurv bill (plus 55 color options for customization). Â
Save more per hat as your order grows
Add quality hats to the cart and watch the per-unit price drop automatically as your quantity increases.
Most embroidery shops set a minimum order of six pieces or more. Printful has no minimum: a single hat and a full case use the same embroidery process, with a different price per unit. 24 hats cost $23 each, while the price drops to $19.25 each for 50 hats and $17 each for 100, with larger runs priced even lower.

Start selling custom embroidered hats with Print on Demand
Custom embroidered hats work as wearable advertising: a logo stitched into cotton twill can withstand washing, sun, and years of wear better than a printed one, since quality embroidery resists cracking, peeling, and fading.Â
A promotional hat generates roughly 3,400 lifetime brand impressions, on par with a t-shirt, at a lower cost per piece. Businesses can put that reach to work in three ways: uniforms that build cohesion and a sense of belonging across a team, giveaways handed out at trade shows and sponsored events, and merchandise sold alongside shirts and hoodies in the same store.
Why choose Printful for custom hat embroidery?
Zero minimum order
Design one embroidered hat or a thousand: the price per unit is the only thing that changes.
Simple logos stitch cleanest
A logo with few colors and clear lines holds its shape through the needle better than fine detail or small text.
No inventory to hold
Every hat ships only after it's been ordered, so stores carry no unsold stock or upfront production cost.
Placement on front, back, or side
Embroidery sits on the front panel, the back, or a side panel, wherever the logo looks best on that cap style.
Worldwide fulfillment
Orders are produced and shipped from Printful's network of facilities, so US and international customers can both benefit from nearby shipping origins.
Store integrations built in
Connect a Shopify, Etsy, or other storefront, and a hat's price updates automatically before it goes live.

Yes. Printful has no order minimum, a single embroidered hat costs the standard per-unit price.
Embroidery area depends on the panel: a front panel typically fits a design up to about four inches wide, while side and back panels typically accommodate smaller designs. The Design Maker shows the exact stitchable area for each style.
Choose custom embroidery for a logo with a few solid colors that needs to withstand years of wear, and printing for gradients, photos, or fine details. Embroidery holds its shape and color better than most printed finishes through repeated washing.
