Our most popular finish
Custom embroidery, stitched to last.
Your logo stitched into the hat — not printed on top of it. We digitize your art for clean stitch paths, send a mockup before anything is made, and run production so the mark looks sharp on day one and still looks right after real wear. Flat or dimensional looks, front / side / back placements, and no order minimum.

Your options
Flat stitch, raised detail, front, sides, and back
Embroidery isn’t one look. Tell us how you want the brand to sit on the crown — we’ll recommend the stitch approach on your mockup.
Flat embroidery
Smooth, precise stitching for logos and type that need clarity. Ideal for detailed marks, fine lettering, and a clean professional finish that sits flush with the panel.
Raised / dimensional stitch
More height and presence for bold wordmarks and simple icons. The raised texture catches light and reads strong from a few feet away — without looking cartoonish when digitized well.
Front, side, and back
Lead with the front panel, then add supporting marks on the sides or back. Extra locations add to the per-hat rate — we’ll show that clearly on your quote with the mockup.
Thread color matching
We match to standard embroidery thread charts as closely as possible. Bring Pantone references when brand color is critical — we’ll note closest thread matches on the proof.
Why Plus One Caps
Why embroidery still wins for most brands
It’s the finish people expect on a quality custom hat: textured, durable, and clearly “made,” not stuck on.
01
It lives in the fabric
Stitches lock into the crown, so the logo moves with the hat instead of peeling or cracking like some surface decorations can over time.
02
Mockup before production
You see placement, scale, and stitch intent digitally first. Nothing goes to the machines until you approve.
03
Works from one hat up
No minimum means you can sample a style, kit a small team, or scale a program without changing finishes mid-stream.
04
Pairs with almost any blank
Trucker, snapback, fitted, beanie — embroidery is the most flexible finish across the catalog.

Artwork that stitches clean
Good embroidery starts with art that’s ready to become stitch — not a stretched screenshot.
- Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG) digitize cleanest and keep edges sharp.
- PNG/JPG works for a first pass if resolution is high — we’ll rebuild for stitch when needed.
- Avoid tiny type under ~5mm and hairline details that won’t hold as thread.
- Limit ultra-complex gradients; solid shapes and clear contrast usually look better embroidered.
- Tell us if you need flat vs raised stitch — we’ll recommend based on the mark.

Embroidery questions
We can discuss raised / dimensional stitch for bold marks. Not every logo is a good puff candidate — we’ll recommend flat vs raised on your mockup so the result looks intentional.
