Port Authority Flexfit NU Cap C988

Custom Port Authority Flexfit NU Cap C988 - Embroidered With Your Logo

The Port Authority C988 Flexfit NU Cap is a structured, mid-profile stretch-fit cap made from a 79/18/3 polyester/rayon/spandex blend with a Permacurv bill and a moisture-wicking sweatband. Golf outings, sales teams, resorts, country clubs and corporate gift programs order it when a cap must hold a clean shape without a plastic adjuster. It comes in three colors and two sizes. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery embroiders every one in-house in Houston, Texas, decorating since 1979.

The tri-layer front panel is seam-sealed on the inside and stitched minimally, which is a decorator's way of saying it is built for logos. We run flat embroidery and 3D puff embroidery on the front, add leather or woven patches when a softer branding cue is wanted, and offer DTF printing for multi-color art.

Why Buyers Pick It

Buyers move to the C988 when an adjuster strap looks wrong. There is no snapback tail and no plastic row of teeth in the back of a group photo - just a clean stretch-fit band that stays put through a round of golf or a full trade show day. The seam-sealed tri-layer front is also unusually forgiving for dense embroidery, so tight lettering and small type come out crisp instead of puckered.

How to Order

This cap ships in two sizes, S/M and L/XL, so collect a size split before you order - stretch fit is not one-size-fits-most. Send your logo, approve the free digital mockup, and we stitch. The minimum is a 12-piece minimum per design and volume pricing tiers begin at 24 pieces. Production is 7-10 business days from approval, rush available on request, with free ground shipping on most orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are custom Port Authority C988 Flexfit caps?
Custom Port Authority C988 Flexfit NU caps are structured, mid-profile stretch-fit caps in a polyester/rayon/spandex blend, decorated with a company logo. Wholesale Caps and Embroidery embroiders them in-house at its Houston, Texas facility, where it has decorated headwear and apparel since 1979.

What is the minimum order on custom C988 caps?
The minimum is 12 pieces per decorated design, with volume pricing tiers starting at 24 pieces. Sizes and colors may be mixed to reach a tier when the decoration stays the same.

What sizes does the Port Authority C988 come in?
The C988 comes in two sizes, S/M and L/XL. It is a stretch fit rather than one-size-fits-most, so buyers should collect a size count from wearers before ordering.

Is the C988 suitable for detailed embroidery?
Yes. The front panel is tri-layer with minimal stitching and interior seam-sealed taping specifically to support decoration, which helps fine lettering and small logos hold their shape.

Do you keep our artwork on file for reorders?
Yes. Once digitized, your logo file stays on file in Houston, so reorders skip setup and move straight into production.

Can we order the same logo on caps and polos together?
Yes. One digitized logo runs across headwear and apparel alike, and mixed styles count toward the same quantity tier provided the decoration does not change.

How long does a custom C988 order take?
Production runs 7-10 business days after proof approval. Rush production is available on request, and most orders include free ground shipping.

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.
