Custom Hats & Headwear in Vancouver
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about custom hats and headwear in Vancouver, BC
Is there a minimum order for custom hats?+
No — Power Print embroiders a single cap just as readily as a full team or event order. Every order is quoted the same way, whether it's one piece or a hundred.
Flat embroidery or 3D puff embroidery — what's the difference?+
Flat embroidery sits directly on the fabric and suits detailed logos and text. 3D puff embroidery stitches over a foam backing so bold letters and shapes stand up off the cap for a thicker, more dimensional look — the classic finish on trucker and snapback caps. Tell us your logo and we'll recommend which reads better.
How big can a logo be on the front of a cap?+
The front panel limits logo size more than a t-shirt or hoodie does — most caps hold a design up to roughly 2.5" x 2.5" to 5" wide depending on the style and panel count. We'll tell you if your logo needs to be simplified or resized to stitch cleanly on the panel.
Does structured or unstructured affect how a logo embroiders?+
Structured caps hold their shape and give a flatter, more even surface for embroidery. Unstructured and low-profile caps have more give, which can slightly affect how crisp fine detail looks — we account for this when we digitize your logo for the specific style you order.
Can you make an embroidered patch for hats instead of stitching directly onto them?+
Yes. We digitize and stitch custom embroidered patches that can be sewn onto caps, and it's a good option for curved or rope-style caps where direct embroidery is harder to place. Full details on our embroidery page.
Can you digitize my logo for hat embroidery?+
Yes. Every new logo is converted into an embroidery stitch file (digitizing) before production, with a free digital proof to approve first. Reorders of the same logo skip this step.
How much does it cost to embroider a hat?+
Pricing depends on the cap style, stitch count of your logo, flat vs 3D puff embroidery, and your total quantity — per-piece cost drops as quantity goes up. Send your details through the quote form below and we'll get back to you the same or next business day.
Where can I get custom embroidered hats near me in Vancouver?+
Power Print embroiders hats and headwear in-house at our own shop in Vancouver, BC — no outsourcing, no minimum order, and a free proof before anything goes into production.
Can I supply my own hats or caps for embroidery?+
Often, yes, depending on the material and construction — check with us first so we can confirm it runs safely on our machines. Customer-supplied items are decorated at your own risk for defects in the blank itself.
How long does a custom hat order take, and can I mix styles or colours?+
Standard production is 7–10 business days after you approve your proof, with rush service available on request. You can mix cap styles and colours in one order — it all still counts toward one quantity for pricing. Also see our t-shirts and hoodies if you need matching pieces for the same team.
