What a 3D puff actually needs

01 · Note
The foam sets the heightA 3D puff is a layer of foam under the thread. The height you see on the cap is the foam thickness, not the stitch count.
02 · Note
Density has a ceilingToo few stitches and the foam shows through. Too many and the panel puckers around the mark. We dial it on the sample.
03 · Note
The digitizing is the workA puff file is built for the foam, not converted from a flat logo. We digitize in-house and show you the stitch file before we run.
How it works

From Brief to Doorstep in 4 Simple Steps

Four steps, with the timings we actually hold to. Never ordered custom caps before? Here's exactly what happens after you hit Send.

01 · Day 0Send your spec

A tech pack, an artwork file, or a physical sample you already like. If you only have a sketch, send the sketch.

02 · Within 12 hoursReceive the quotation

We price the crown, the fabric, the decoration, and the packing separately, so you can see what each line costs.

03 · 7 daysApprove the sample

We build a physical pre-production sample and send photographs and video of it before it ships to you.

04 · 15–20 daysBulk production

Your order runs on our own lines. You get progress photographs at cutting, embroidery, and packing.

Quality control

Five checks before anything ships

Five separate checks between raw fabric and a closed carton. Every piece is inspected by hand before packing.

01 · Check
Raw material verificationEvery roll of twill, canvas, and thread is checked for colour consistency and tensile strength before it reaches the cutting table.
02 · Check
Embroidery precision checkWe monitor 3D puff height and stitch density as the heads run. A piece with a frayed edge or a misaligned logo comes off the machine.
03 · Check
Stitching integrity auditCrown structure and seam tape are checked here. Sweatbands are aligned to within a millimetre so the cap sits level on the head.
04 · Check
Piece-by-piece final inspectionEvery single cap is inspected by hand, trimmed, and steam-pressed before it goes to the packing line.
05 · Check
Export packing and label auditThe carton count is verified against the packing list and every shipping label is checked before the boxes are closed.

What we are not

We are not a trading company

The cutting, embroidery, sewing, and packing all happen on our own 50,000 m² factory floor. You deal directly with the production lines, not a middle layer.

We do not subcontract quietly

If a process ever leaves our building, we tell you before the order is confirmed rather than after it ships.

We do not invent discounts

The unit price you are quoted is the price we can hold. No headline figure that changes once production starts.

Compliance
  • CE Certified
  • SGS Factory Audit
  • Piece-by-piece inspection

CE certification held on finished goods. REACH, RoHS, OEKO-TEX and GRS testing can be arranged per order on request — ask us what applies to your destination market.

Before you ask

Common questions

What is the minimum order quantity?

200 pieces per style and per colour. Below that we will still quote, but the unit price moves because the setup cost is spread across fewer pieces.

Can I get a sample before committing to bulk?

Yes. We build a physical pre-production sample in seven days and send photographs and video before it ships, so you can approve the fit and the embroidery first.

Do you work from our designs?

Yes. We build from a tech pack, from vector artwork, from a sketch, or by reverse-engineering a physical cap you already sell.

How long does production take?

Sample in seven days. Bulk runs take 15 to 20 days after the sample is approved, depending on quantity and decoration. Air freight to Europe or North America is a further five to eight days.

How do we pay, and what is the price quoted in?

Prices are quoted in USD per piece. Payment terms are confirmed with the written quotation.

Send us your spec and get a quotation in about 12 hours.

Tell us the style, the quantity, and the date you need the goods. We will come back with a written quotation.
