Screenprinted caps vs Embroidered hats: An honest comparison

By

Every customer has different needs in regards to screenprinted or embroidered hats...


In some cases screenprinted caps may be a better option than embroidered hats and here is why:

  • Increase the colors that can be printed 
  • Small detail can be replicated better
  • Pricing can be much lower
  • 4 color process can be achieved 


In some cases embroidered hats may be a better fit than screenprinted caps and here is why:

  • Event dates(rush orders) can be met easier
  • Higher quality appearance
  • More options of caps to choose from
  • Crisper and sharper images
  • More durable
  • More Professional look


The Cons:

Embroidered Hats:
  • More expensive
  • Less detail can be accomplished
Screenprinted Caps:
  • Lower overall quality
  • Less expensive look
  • Durability is not as good
  • Less options of caps

So what is the difference between unstructured vs structured caps?  Many of our customers over the years have asked this question and its a very good one. There are basically two different options with a little variation occasionally in mix of things.  1) Unstructured 6-panel cap 2) Structured 6-panel cap Unstructured 6-Panel Cap: An unstructured custom cap is a cap that does not have a hard internal structure. A n unstructured custom cap does not have this firm structure and so it will not hold its shape when it is not being worn. If you look at an unstructured cap when it is laying flat on a table or other surface you will notice that it sort of flops over and lays almost flat.

It's even nicer to get a little something that is useful, this is where personalized mugs come in. A mug with your custom logo is a highly useful product that quietly displays your brand.  Mugs are highly usable while at the same time discretely displaying your logo. Customers use what the see or know, so if your logo is on the mug they grab for their afternoon caffeinated beverage, it creates a familiarity which leads to branding which leads to more jobs for you.   Customized promotional products, such as mugs, have the potential to boost your brand recognition.       High Frequency Use Over 50% of adults drink either coffee or tea   Can be used every day potential multiple times a day They can be used for a long time; potentially thousands of times over the life of the mug
