Cap design tips
  • Keep logos simple: Embroidery and patches work best with bold shapes, clean lines and readable details.
  • Plan the front panel: Mark whether the logo should sit centred, side-aligned or across multiple panels.
  • Match decoration to the design: Embroidery, woven patches, printed artwork and inside labels all create different finishes.
  • Choose colours carefully: Strong contrast between cap colour and artwork helps the design stand out.
  • Think about retail presentation: Caps work well with hang tags, stickers, sleeves, labels and branded packaging.

We help make global ordering easier with DDP shipping where available.

  • Import taxes, duties, and tariffs can be prepaid
  • Fewer surprise customs bills
  • Less paperwork for you
  • Your order is delivered more smoothly to your door

DDP fees are usually added upfront so your total landed cost is clearer before production begins.

Yes. Most custom orders can be started with a 50% deposit.

  • 50% deposit to begin production
  • 50% balance after photo proof and before shipping

Many products have no MOQ or low minimum order options.

  • Some products start from 1–25 units
  • Apparel, packaging, and stationery often support smaller runs

Tip: larger orders usually reduce the cost per unit.

6. Can I see a sample before ordering?

Yes. You can request a sample of your design before moving into a larger production order.

Upload your artwork and select a small quantity, such as 1 unit, and our team can prepare a sample quote.

Email us at hi@pinlord.com with your order details and clear photos of the issue.
