Why decorate hats?
Whether you decorate t-shirts, team uniforms, or corporate wear, hats are a great add-on sale. Heat printing hats is a fast, clean, and easy decorating process. Hats can be embellished with rhinestones, customized with logos, or personalized with names or player numbers. Hats can be sold as a promotional item along with company or sponsor apparel, as fashion wear, and, of course, to accompany sports uniforms and booster gear – all you need is a cap heat press.
Hat decorating goes beyond just printing a design on the front of a six-panel cap. The front, back, and brim of almost any hat can be decorated, and there are many types of hats in which your customers will be interested. Below is a list of hats that can be decorated with a cap press.
