Custom Embroidery Techniques

• STANDARD EMBROIDERY – The most popular and efficient way to embroider any style of hat. Standard embroidery can accommodate highly complex designs and spacing. Our most popular option for custom embroidered gear.
• MULTICOLORED EMBROIDERY – Multicolored thread creates a unique-looking image while keeping the integrity of your design the same. Each spool contains multiple colors, creating a different color makeup every time it is used. A colorful option to elevate your brand.
• 3D EMBROIDERY (PUFF) – A method of layering thread either over itself or over the foam to create a raised “3D” appearance. This is a fun option for enhancing parts or an entire design. We recommend using this method on hats due to the stability of the material, and are happy to help you find the perfect one for your project!
