We may not know who invented the hat, but we can admit they did an outstanding job. From health benefits like protecting your hair from sun damage to aesthetic benefits like finishing off any stylish outfit, hats have become a wardrobe essential.
While there are plenty of hat design options available today, the most popular choice is the custom embroidered hat.
Embroidered hats are worn on formal and casual occasions, thanks to their benefits and versatility, which include:
As you’ll find out, much consideration goes into creating high-quality embroidered hats. So making uninformed choices in your ordering phase may cost you in the end.
These four expert tips will help you know the best features to look out for when buying any embroidered hat.
Headwear comes in all shapes and sizes. Everyone has at least one type of hat they love wearing, but not all designs are fit for embroidery.
Jupmode offers the best hat options that work great with custom embroidery.

Most baseball caps fall into two key categories; structured and unstructured.
A structured cap has a stiff lining known as buckram in its crown, which holds its shape and gives it a rigid structure. It has a more polished, crisp look that looks good when worn as part of a corporate uniform. It's also a popular accessory in sports.
On the other hand, an unstructured cap looks the same all around and its crown lacks additional support. It will slightly collapse if you take it off your head and place it on a desk. It tends to have a low profile and gives a more casual look.
Climate is another major determinant of the best hat design for you. If you live in warmer areas, choose a hat with moisture-wicking fabric or a back mesh or like a trucker hat. While for colder climates call for beanie hats.
Patches are your best bet if you’re aiming for a sleek, professional look. All kinds of businesses have embraced them, from coffee shops to construction companies.
Custom patches can be a powerful branding tool for your company when added to your hat, as they make your brand stand out and give it a distinct identity.
Below are other benefits of custom hat patches to your business and personal brand:
Jupmode offers both woven and embroidered patches, which are added to your hat using an embroidery machine.
Note: The minimum number of patches you can order from us is 50. Because the sewing file is the same regardless of the apparel or accessory we’re adding it to, you can include other merchandise in your order, such as keychains and our famous embroidered crew sweatshirts.

When ordering embroidered hats for your business, your logo’s size and placement are some of the most important aspects to consider. How your logo looks once embroidered on the hat matters more than it appears on paper.
For the best engagement with your customers, choose a bold and legible logo that makes your hat striking and recognizable.
Ensure that its details are still visible at the size you’ve chosen. Ideally, baseball hats have their logos at about 2” tall 2” wide. But this can go as high as 2.25” or as low as 0.5”, depending on the logo’s placement.
The most common place to add a logo on a hat is directly on the front of the hat.
But adding your logo to different locations within the hat also gives your brand exposure from multiple angles. Just ensure not to overdo it (2–3 are enough) because it may make your hat look cluttered and unprofessional.
The table below shows some appropriate locations for your custom embroidered logos and their preferred sizes on 6 panel hats.

Souk Trucker Hat
2.25” tall 2.75” wide

Be creative in choosing your text or logo placement locations. Ensure the message you want to be conveyed flows well, is visible to all, and easy to understand.
With digital design, there are myriad options when it comes to color. But your embroidery’s thread color can make or break your design.
Well-designed logos have one thing in common—simplicity. This means keeping your color palette at a minimum. We recommend sticking to three colors (or less) when creating your logo.
However, if you want a logo made using your brand’s signature colors, that’s also totally fine. We’ll help you select only the hat colors that complement your brand’s colors for embroidery.
If you aim to improve your brand’s visibility, pick thread colors that strongly contrast with your hat’s color. This creates an eye-catching, striking look draws people's eyes your way, giving your brand the exposure it desires.
The image below is an example of hats with strongly contrasting embroidery thread colors.
But if you’d like a more subtle embroidery, choose thread colors that are a shade darker or lighter than your hat’s color. The tone-on-tone design gives a sharp, classy, and harmonious look, subtly conveying that a single tone can still make a statement.
Embroidered hats are timeless accessories worn in formal and casual settings. But because of the embroidery process, it’s crucial to know what the main features to look out for before making a purchase.
Factors such as your logo’s size and placement, the color of your hat and logo, and knowing the best hats for embroidery largely determine the overall quality of your hat.
Jupmode’s embroidered hats are unisex and come in lots of design options. Their versatility makes them a wardrobe staple even in the corporate world, where they blend well with other branded work uniforms.
When gifted to your customers or worn as uniforms by your employees, our custom embroidered hats will build your reputation and freely advertise your brand to the ends of the earth. Even better, custom embroidered hats are more cost-effective when ordered in bulk than other apparel choices.
So, if you’d like to order some embroidered hats to promote your brand or use them as gift sets for loved ones, reach out to us.

Looking to make a statement about your brand with custom apparel? What about a prime way to get your logo out there while combining functionality with style? Custom hats are the way to go—they’re flexible, fun, and fashionable, and, as it turns out, easy to order and get sent right to your door.
New to ordering swag and not sure how to get started with custom hats? We’ve narrowed the process down to four easy steps.
The first thing you must do when ordering promotional hats is determine what type of hat is right for your needs. There are four types of hats that work well as branded headwear:
Baseball caps
Beanies
Visors
and
Bucket Hats
So how do you know which to go with? Consider the environment in which you expect them to be worn. Cold weather? Go with the choice that will keep your recipients’ heads warm—a beanie. Need a type that’s suited for wear during sports and other athletic activities? Go with a baseball cap or a visor. And, if you’re looking for a branded hat to be worn as a casual accessory, choose a highly-customizable trucker hat.
Here are some more details on each style to help guide your decision:
There are a lot of options to choose from when looking for a promotional baseball cap. Do want more of a fashion or casual cap, something that people will were in everyday life? Or are you looking for a cap to wear to the gym or other exercise activities? Or maybe a hat for your employees to wear while working or out in the field? Here are a few different styles of baseball caps to choose from:
– Dad Hats – A dad hat is usually an unstructured baseball hat with six-panels and an adjustable snapback hat closure. One of our best sellers is our Cotton Dad Hat, it is made of a soft, washed cotton twill, comes in a variety of colors. It can be customized with your logo via embroidery or screen printing on the front, back or sides. This twill cap is a great option for an everyday hat and it is not just for dads.
– Performance and Flexfit – If you are looking for a cap that is good for the gym or other physical activities, you’ll want to look for a Performance sports hat. These hats are usually polyester or a poly-blend and help with moisture wicking and are more breathable than other hats. The closures tend to be flexfit (elastic) or Velcro adjustable straps. Our most popular option is this FlexFit Pro-formacne hat. But we have many options including this Nike Dri-fit or the Adidas Performance Relaxed Cap.
– Fashion Caps – Baseball caps can be their own fashion statement. So you will want to consider your audience when choosing a hat. Some people may prefer a flat bill hat, like our 6-panel snapback. Or others may prefer a more low profile cap like our New Era Adjustable.
– Trucker Hats – Instead of being made of one fabric like a typical baseball cap, the front section of a trucker cap above the bill is usually a polyester or cotton or traditionally foam and the back half is a mesh for breathability. The front of the hat is usually structured and stands up stiffer than an unstuctured hat like the dad hat, this makes the custom trucker hat taller than most baseball caps and a great place to advertise your brand. These hats were traditionally worn by truckers (hence the name), farmers and other rural workers, but became more popular with younger and urban groups.
The most important thing to consider when selecting a custom baseball cap is what would the people you are choosing it for actually like to wear. Are they a younger demographic? Are they active? Do they like bright colors or something more subtle or muted. If you have a mixed audience, maybe mix and match a few styles. Luckily, unlike other apparel, most baseball caps are considered unisex, so they are great options to giveaway to everyone.
When choosing a beanie or knit cap there are different things to consider than baseball caps. Here are a few questions you will want to answer.
-If you want a beanie that fully customized to your brand, you will want to go with our Fully Custom Beanie, which can be created especially for you, incorporating your own specific brand colors and design, a custom pom–pom. This option is a great gift for your team members or a giveaway. Note that this since this is a fully custom item, the turnaround time might be longer, so you should give yourself at least 30-40 business days for production. If you need it quicker, the stripe pom pom beanie is a great and fun option.
– If you are looking for something that is standard, comes in a lot of fun colors and appeals to everyone, we recommend the more basic Knit Beanie or if you want something 100% cotton, our cotton beanie is the way to go. Or if you are looking for an eco-friendly option, this econscious beanie, made from recycled cotton is the perfect choice.
– If you want something more fashion-forward, we have a lot of great premium options. This TOPO Ragga cap is heavy-duty, sturdy and warm and made in the USA or the TOPO Watch cap is a classic. We also have some great beanie options from Roots73. Including the U-Fenelon Beanie which is a double-layered knit and soft inner lining. Or their Peaceriver Toque, which has a unique, stylish fit and is sure to stand out from the standard beanie.
While the most standard options for promotional hats are baseball caps and beanies there a lot of other options. For summer events, things like visors or bucket hats can be fun options for brim hats that keep the sun out of your eyes. Or if you are having a golf outing or tournament, certain caps or visors are good options. Particular brands like Under Armour, Nike or Adidas are also popular options in these occasions.
Now that you’re familiar with the types of custom hats available and have chosen the one that’s best suited for your recipients, it’s time to design the hat.
The design you select will depend heavily on which item you select. If you’re looking for something you can really make your own, our Fully Custom Beanie, which allows you to print up to eight colors, is the clear winner. If you’re wanting something that’s on-trend but comes in a range of colors on which you can have your design either printed or embroidered, our 6-panel Snapback fits the bill (pun absolutely intended).
Before you fully commit to a style of hat, check what colors it’s available in and make sure there’s a selection that you like and that matches the design you’re going to upload so that the colors don’t clash with one another. Don’t worry—you can easily preview your design as it looks situated on the hat so that you know whether or not the colors are complementary.
Once you’ve settled on a type of hat and chosen the design or logo you’re going to have printed, it’s time to upload the design and place your order for the hats. Depending on the type of hat you select, you could have the options to upload a front and back design, so if that’s the case, know what you’d like to have in both locations. And for best results when uploading designs, use an EPS file.
Once your file is uploaded, situate it on the hat in the way that you’d like it to be printed or embroidered. Don’t worry if it doesn’t feel exactly right; all design mock-ups are reviewed by humans to make sure things are centered neatly and error-free. Choose the quantity you’d like to receive, and click add to cart, and proceed to check out to order your branded hats.
If you are choosing something specific or fully custom, reach out and we can help you with specs or provide a design template.
