To make the hat uniquely identifiable, customer embroidery is the perfect answer. You can design your own graphics and use a corporate logo or combine names, logos and graphics; it is really up to you.
To design the right look for custom hat embroidery, there are a few steps and factors that need to be considered. By taking the time in developing the design you will be very impressed with the final results.
Consider the Hat Style
Before investing time and effort into your logo and design, start by choosing the style and type of hat. This is important as it will give you the actual size of the graphic or design that will suit the hat.
With custom hat embroidery the actual design can be scaled up or down from a design used on a shirt or other type of promotional item. However, not all images and graphics scale up or down and look the same. Always take a close look at the imagine in the exact size it will appear on the hat before submitting it to the embroidery service.
Clarity of the Design
There is less space for custom hat embroidery than there is for a design for a t-shirt or jacket. If you want to create a look that matches with corporate, team or group items already available, look for ways to highlight the central components of the larger image.
Simple designs with clear lines and vibrant colors will stand out even on the smaller design space on a hat. Designs with too many colors or too fine of details can appear muddled and difficult to see even from a short distance.
By highlighting the major shapes, lines or imagines and eliminating the fine details from the background, the embroidered image will match the larger image. It will also be crisp, clear and easy to see as a great promotional tool or to identify group, team or organizational members.
