Embroidered Hats & Beanies Made With Premium Materials, for The Perfect Fit

At Chicago Signs & Screen Printing, we make ordering custom embroidered hats easy! From baseball caps to Dad hats and beanies, you can create and design your own hat in no time. Unsure if you should print or embroider your custom hats and beanies? Although both options can end with great results, embroidery often offers a more high-end finish while printed hats are more cost-effective. That said, screen printing custom hats usually only works with foam trucker caps and non-rigid fabric like bucket hats. In either event, let us help you decide and contact us for a free consultation!

Until then, check out some of our recent hats and beanie projects!

FAQs – Custom Hats & Beanies

  • Can custom hats be ordered in smaller quantities, or are bulk orders required?
    • Yes, we accommodate both. Bulk orders bring the cost per unit down, but smaller runs are available depending on the style and decoration method. Contact us with your quantity, and we’ll put together pricing that works.
  • What makes snapback hats a good choice for large or detailed logos?
    • Snapbacks have a flat brim and a structured front panel that gives embroidered designs a firm, flat surface to register cleanly — making them a reliable choice when your logo has fine detail or multiple colors.
  • What’s the difference between a snapback and a trucker hat?
    • Snapbacks have an all-fabric construction with a flat brim. Trucker hats, also known as mesh caps, have a foam front panel and a breathable mesh back. Both styles work well with embroidered patches and custom decoration.
  • What materials are hats typically made from?
    • High-quality materials are essential for ensuring that custom hats look sharp, feel good, and last. Common options include cotton, acrylic, and wool blends. The right material depends on the type of hat, your use case, and how the hat will be worn.
  • Are beanies available with the same custom decoration options as caps?
    • Yes. Beanies can be embroidered with logos, text, and multi-color designs, and come in slouched or cuffed styles. They’re a natural complement to a cap order if you’re building out a full headwear program. Contact us to discuss options.
  • Can I order multiple types of garments on the same order?
    • Yes, you can get multiple different types of custom apparel on the same order. We do all of our decorating in-house and can get everything your project needs done all at once.
