Do you offer the official "Union Bug" on hats?

Yes! As a proud Union shop for over 50 years, we can include the official Union Bug on your headwear. This is a critical advantage for political campaigns and government agencies.

What is the minimum order for custom embroidered hats?

While we are built for high-capacity commercial runs, we offer flexible options with no hard minimums. We help side-hustlers and major corporations alike scale their headwear production.

Can I send you my own hats (blanks) to be embroidered?

Absolutely. As a contract-focused shop, you can drop-ship your blanks (Richardson, Carhartt, etc.) directly to our St. Louis facility. We’ll verify the inventory and handle the decoration.

What is "Digitizing" and do I need it?

Digitizing is the process of converting your artwork into a stitch file. Our master digitizers ensure your logo is optimized for the specific fabric of your hat to prevent puckering or gaps.

Do you offer 3D Puff embroidery on all hat styles?

3D Puff works best on structured hats like snapbacks and truckers. For beanies or "dad hats," we recommend our high-density flat stitch for the cleanest results.

How quickly can I get my order?

In the fast-paced USA market, timing is everything. While our standard is 5-7 business days, we specialize in 24-48 hour fulfillment for rush orders to ensure your project stays on schedule.

Can you combine embroidery with custom DTF transfers?

Yes. This hybrid method is perfect for logos with complex gradients that thread cannot replicate. We embroider the main elements and use custom DTF transfers for the photographic details.
