Custom hats are one of the most popular pieces of custom apparel for a good reason. With custom hats, you can prominently display your company logo or design right where people direct their gaze. In addition to that, custom logo hats are very affordable in comparison to some other types of promotional apparel. In this guide, we’ll break down the different styles of custom hats, list the headwear brands that we offer, explain how your logo is added to custom headwear and show how you can use custom hats to promote your business.
Which Custom Hat Styles Are Offered?
There are countless styles of hats out there that come in all shapes and sizes. In this exercise, we won’t dive into bowlers, boaters, berets or other novelty hats. Instead, let’s focus on the types of hats that are best suited for customization for your team or company.
Custom Baseball Caps
The baseball hat is where it all started. These custom baseball hats have a medium sized curved bill and offer a great space on the front of the hat for logo embroidery. If you’re actually going to play baseball in these, consider our selection of moisture-wicking hats!
Custom Snapback Hats
Snapback hats are one of the most in-style hat types out there right now. These custom snapbacks aren’t just stylish though, they’re easily adjustable using two pieces of plastic that snap together to form the perfect sized hat for anyone.
Custom Trucker Hats/ Mesh Back Hats
Trucker hats are another classic American style. These custom trucker hats feature 100% polyester mesh backing, making them an extremely breathable headwear option. Trucker hats are most commonly structured hats with snapback adjustment but can also be fitted.
Custom Unstructured Hats "Dad Hats"
Unstructured hats, on the other hand, do not have supportive fabric to hold the shape of the hat. These unstructured hats, also known as “dad hats”, are softer and can be more comfortable than structured hats.

Custom Fitted Hats & Flex Fit Hats
Both custom fitted hats and custom flex fit hats feature a closed back and are NOT adjustable. These fitted hats are measured in 1/8 inch size increments and typically have a structured construction. Fitted and flex fit hats are also worn by professional baseball players and make great athletic and hats.
Custom Flat Bill Hats
The name says it all for flat bill hats. These custom flat bill or flat brim hats can come in a variety of colors and materials, but they all feature a flat bill rather than a curved one. Custom flat bill caps are usually either fitted or snapbacks.
Custom Cotton Hats
This might be more of a material than a style, but its worth mentioning that custom cotton hats provide some unique benefits that other hats can’t. For example, cotton custom hats are more breathable, versatile, inexpensive, durable and softer than other hats. Custom cotton hats are often the choice for promotional hats.
Custom Visors
Are visors hats? Today we're going to say yes. Custom visors are the best of both worlds, they keep the sun out your eyes while still letting your head breathe. Custom visors are most commonly used as golf visors, tennis visors or for other athletic applications.
How is My Company Logo Added to Custom Hats?
There are a few different decoration methods that can be utilized to add your corporate logo to our selection of custom hats depending on the style of headwear selected and the appearance you want to achieve with your design.
Custom Hat Embroidery
The most popular and recommended decoration type for headwear is custom embroidery. Embroidery is ideal for personalized hats because embroidery can be performed on non-flat surfaces, unlike many other decoration methods. Embroidered logos and designs are also durable and provide a stylish and sophisticated appearance. Read how commercial embroidery is done in our Guide to Custom Embroidery.

3D Puff Embroidery
Similar to standard embroidery, 3D puff embroidery is used to add a textured element to your logo or design. However, with 3D puff embroidery, there is an added layer of foam that provides more dimensional depth to your custom hat. 3D embroidered hats are also extremely durable and sharp but tend to be more expensive than traditionally embroidered custom hats because of the added fabric. Check out how it’s done in our Guide to 3D Puff Embroidery.
Where Can My Logo be Embroidered on Custom Hats?
Your logo placement options are going to differ depending on the custom headwear you’ve selected, but our standard logo locations are front and center, left side, right side and back of the hat. These are the locations on your custom headwear that will display your logo most prominently.
