Collection: Custom Beanies with Logo — Embroidered Beanies

Custom beanies are one of the most versatile branded headwear options a business can invest in — worn year-round by construction crews, outdoor brands, breweries, landscaping companies, and corporate teams running seasonal promos. At Wholesale Caps Etc., we've been making custom caps and apparel since 1979. Houston-based and decorator-direct, every beanie order starts at 12 pieces, ships free in 7–10 business days, and includes a free digital proof — no setup fees, no design fees.

Our beanie lineup includes the Port Authority Watch Beanie C908 — a clean, cuffed classic built for embroidery — the New Era On-Field Knit Beanie NE906 and New Era Sideline Beanie NE902 for a premium athletic look, and the Sport-Tek Spectator Beanie STC20 and Sport-Tek Pom Pom Team Beanie STC21 for teams and seasonal programs. Beanies decorate best with flat embroidery on the cuff or via a woven or leather patch sewn directly onto the knit. We do not recommend 3D puff on stretch knit fabric — flat is always our standard. Already have your own headwear? We also decorate customer-supplied beanies.

Every order includes no setup fees, no design fees, and a free digital proof before we touch a single stitch. From proof approval, all orders ship free in 7–10 business days — rush options available when you're in a crunch. Mix colors within your order — just keep the total at or above 12 pieces.

Custom Beanies — Frequently Asked Questions

What decoration methods work best on beanies?

Flat embroidery is the standard — applied directly to the cuff or sewn onto a woven or leather patch that sits on the beanie. Woven patches are especially popular for beanies because they hold fine detail well and lay flat on stretchy knit. We do not use 3D puff embroidery on beanies — the foam used in puff sits awkwardly on a flexible fabric and doesn't produce a clean result. DTF heat transfer can work on fleece-lined or acrylic beanies in some cases, but flat embroidery remains the gold standard for durability and a professional finish.

What is the difference between a cuffed and an uncuffed beanie?

A cuffed beanie has a folded band at the bottom — this double-layer cuff is the prime real estate for embroidery. It gives the logo a flat, stable surface and a clean, polished look. An uncuffed or slouch beanie sits lower without the fold, with embroidery placed on the front panel. Most corporate, trade, and workwear orders opt for cuffed styles for their structured look and straightforward logo placement.

What is the minimum order for custom beanies?

The minimum is 12 pieces on all beanie styles — no exceptions. You can mix colors across those 12 pieces, so you're not stuck ordering all one color. There are no setup fees, no digitizing fees, and every order includes a free digital proof and free shipping.

What industries order embroidered beanies most?

Construction companies and trade contractors are the biggest buyers — logo beanies are year-round workwear for outdoor crews. Breweries and craft distilleries love them for taproom merchandise and staff gear. Outdoor and sporting goods brands, landscaping companies, oil and gas firms, auto dealerships, schools, and athletic programs all order custom beanies regularly. If your team spends time outside or your customers want branded gear they'll actually wear, a beanie with your logo delivers serious value per piece.

How long does production take on custom beanies?

Standard turnaround is 7–10 business days from the date you approve your digital proof, and all orders ship free. Rush production is available — contact us before placing your order to confirm availability and pricing for expedited timelines. Large orders over 144 pieces may require a few extra days of lead time.

Can I mix colors within my beanie order?

Yes. You can mix beanie colors within a single order as long as the total quantity meets the 12-piece minimum. The embroidery design and thread colors remain consistent across all pieces. If you need different thread colorways to work with different hat colors — for example, white thread on black beanies and black thread on white ones — let us know when you place your order and we'll build that into your proof.

Do you offer pompom beanies?

Yes — the Sport-Tek Pom Pom Team Beanie STC21 is one of our most popular options for teams, schools, and holiday gift programs. The pom sits on top and embroidery goes on the cuff, giving you a classic winter beanie look with your logo front and center. It's a go-to for youth sports organizations, seasonal merchandise, and outdoor brands looking for something with a little more personality.
