Your logo is placed on the front of the cap, with an optional vintage label on the side. Decoration methods include Embroidery, Heat Transfer, Laser — Patch, Embroidery — Quad Raised Motif, Embroidery — 3D Puff, Heat Transfer — Vintage Label, and Embroidery — Applique. For crisp, flat color coverage, choose Heat Transfer; for a raised, textured mark, choose Embroidery.

Embroideryone-time setup $110.00 · Full color

Embroidery stitches your design directly into the fabric, building artwork from dense, interlocking threads rather than laying ink on the surface. Each color is its own thread in a solid shade. The result is a raised, tactile mark with the soft sheen of thread and a slightly dimensional edge. Each shape reads as a clean, saturated block, and the sewn-in design resists fading, peeling, and wear through repeated washing.

Heat Transfer1 color/location included · one-time setup $110.00 · Up to 4 colors

Heat transfer prints your design in premixed spot inks onto a film, then bonds that film to the surface under heat and pressure. Each color goes down as its own solid ink, so edges stay crisp and color stays even across the mark. The result reads as a smooth, thin bonded layer — low-profile and flexible enough to move with the fabric, not ink soaked into the cloth.

Laser — Patchone-time setup $110.00

Laser patch (laser leatherette patch) uses precision laser engraving to burn away the surface layer of a synthetic leather patch, exposing a contrasting tone beneath — no ink or added color involved. The finished patch is sewn or affixed to the item. The result is a slightly recessed, two-tone etch you can feel, with a rugged finish that resists washing, sun, and outdoor wear. Crisp edges and bold marks resolve cleanly; very fine lines and smooth gradients lose definition.

Embroidery — Quad Raised MotifFull-color imprint · 1 location included · one-time setup $110.00

Quad raised motif builds the design up in layered stitching so the finished mark stands proud of the surface with a sculpted, premium feel. It reads strongest on simple, chunky artwork — block letters, monograms, and solid shapes — where the raised profile catches light and shadow. Thread colors are selected per design.

Embroidery — 3D PuffFull-color imprint · 1 location included · one-time setup $110.00

3D embroidery (puff embroidery) places foam beneath the thread, then wraps stitching over it so the design lifts off the surface as dimensional, sculpted relief. The mark reads as rounded, shadowed contours with real height and a soft tactile edge. Thread colors are saturated and wash-durable; bold shapes hold cleanly while fine lines soften under the foam.

Heat Transfer — Vintage Labelone-time setup $110.00 · Full color

The vintage label construction produces your artwork as a bordered fabric label and bonds it to the item with heat and pressure, giving a crafted, tag-like badge that reads differently from ink printed directly on the fabric. It comes in three appearance variants — a standard bordered label, a 3D version built up into a raised profile, and an open-edged version cut without a sealed border for a softer, heritage look. Colors are reproduced within the label program's palette, and the applied badge holds up well to wear and washing.

Embroidery — Appliqueone-time setup $110.00 · Full color

Applique (tackle twill) cuts your design into contrasting fabric shapes and stitches them onto the item, each edge secured in thread so the shape sits slightly proud of the base. Large logos stay soft and flexible, fabric fill replacing the dense thread that makes full embroidery feel stiff. The applied result is tactile and layered: you feel distinct cloth panels and a raised stitched border, with each shape's own fabric carrying the color. Color comes from the fabric and thread themselves, so bold solid shapes stay crisp and saturated, and the stitched edges hold through repeated washing without peeling.

What does an embroidered logo look like?
Embroidery stitches the design directly into the fabric, building the artwork from dense, interlocking threads rather than laying ink on the surface. Each color is its own thread in a solid shade. The result is a raised, tactile mark with the soft sheen of thread and a slightly dimensional edge, and the sewn-in design resists fading, peeling and wear through repeated washing. More about Embroidery →
What artwork is a poor fit for embroidery?
Hairline strokes, very small type and continuous-tone gradients. Each stitch occupies real space in the fabric, so fine lines and small text round off and shading cannot be reproduced. Embroidery is at its best with logos and lettering built from bold, solid shapes, where each color stitches as its own thread shade. For photographic or gradient artwork choose a full-color method; for crisp hairline detail choose screen print. More about Embroidery →
How are embroidery thread colors matched to my brand colors?
Each color in the design is stitched in a solid thread shade chosen to match your artwork. Where a product offers it, Pantone (PMS) color matching is an option for an additional charge per color, selecting the thread closest to your Pantone reference; otherwise the embroiderer picks the nearest standard thread color.
