Port Authority Flexfit Melange Unipanel Cap C946

Custom Port Authority C946 Flexfit Melange Unipanel Cap — Embroidery Ready

The Port Authority C946 is a structured, mid-profile stretch-fit cap whose seamless front panel replaces the two front panels of a traditional five-panel cap. Corporate teams and sport tournaments are its two stated markets, and buyers with wide horizontal logos choose it for the uninterrupted front. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery, decorating headwear since 1979, embroiders every C946 in-house at our Houston, TX facility — artwork never leaves the building.

A seamless front is the easiest surface we stitch: flat embroidery and 3D puff embroidery can run wide without crossing a center seam. Woven, rubber and leather patches sit flat on it, and direct-to-film printing reproduces full-color logos exactly.

Product Features

• Fabric: 95/5 polyester/spandex

• Permacurv bill maintains proper shape and curve
• Stretch-fit closure

Why Buyers Pick It

Most caps put a seam straight down the middle of the front panel, which forces wide logos to be split, shrunk or shifted. The C946 removes that seam, so a long company name or a horizontal lockup can run the full width of the front at the size the brand guide asks for. That is the reason to pick it over a standard five-panel. Note the two-size structure: S/M and L/XL, so plan a size split rather than ordering one flat quantity, and remember there are only two colorways, Dark Grey and Navy.

How to Order

Send your logo file, we return a free digital mockup showing exactly how wide the mark runs on the seamless panel, and production begins only on your approval. The minimum is 12 pieces with volume tiers starting at 24. Give us your S/M and L/XL breakdown when you place the order. Production runs 7–10 business days from proof approval, rush is available on request, and most orders ship free ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom Port Authority C946 Unipanel caps?
Custom Port Authority C946 Unipanel caps are structured, mid-profile stretch-fit caps with a seamless front panel, decorated with a company or team logo. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery is a decorator, not a blanks wholesaler, and every C946 is embroidered in-house at our Houston, TX facility.

What is the minimum order for custom C946 caps?
The minimum order is 12 pieces for custom Port Authority C946 caps, and volume pricing tiers begin at 24 pieces. Mixed colors and styles count toward the same tier when the decoration stays the same.

Why does a seamless front panel matter for embroidery?
A seamless front panel gives embroidery one continuous surface with no center seam, so wide company names and horizontal logos can be stitched full width on the Port Authority C946 without being split or reduced.

What sizes and colors does the C946 come in?
The Port Authority C946 comes in two sizes, S/M and L/XL, so a size split should be planned rather than ordering one flat quantity. It is available in two colors, Dark Grey and Navy.

Do you keep our embroidery file for reorders?
Yes. The digitized file from your first C946 run stays on file at Wholesale Caps and Embroidery, so any reorder skips setup and goes straight into production.

Can the same logo go on multiple cap styles?
Yes. The same logo can be embroidered on the C946 and on other caps or apparel in one order, and those styles combine toward a single quantity tier as long as the decoration is unchanged.

How fast can we get C946 caps?
Production takes 7–10 business days from proof approval on custom C946 caps. Rush production is available on request, and most orders ship free ground.

1. After your order is placed, we enter it into our system and send an "Artwork & Mockup Approval" email within 24-36 hours. This is to verify design, design placement, size, and product colors.
2. Once you approve the artwork mockup, we create the .dst file (stitch file). This file is used to tell our embroidery machines what to stitch. Note: Cancellation after this step incurs a $30 restocking fee.
3. We create a sewout and/or update the mockup using the .dst file and send it to you for approval. It's at this point where you want to make sure all colors, size, and placement are as requested.
4. You may request changes to the same design before sewout and/or .dst approval. A completely new design request at this stage incurs a $30 fee.
5. After final approval, production begins. Once items are decorated, the order is non-refundable unless there is a defect in the product or decoration.

A $30 setup fee is automatically added to the cart and required for all orders. This covers the order processing costs.
