How to Create Baseball Caps with Custom Logos

To create baseball caps with your logo, choose a cap style, prepare your artwork, pick your colors and sizes, and review a mockup before ordering. This guide explains the Lift Down custom Classic process for team caps, company merchandise and branded events.

1. Choose a cap that fits your project

Start with how the caps will be worn. Custom Classic Caps offer a cotton cap in Small, Regular and XL sizes. For a different material, explore the custom Wool Cap designer. Availability, minimums and production times can differ by style; use the relevant designer for its current options.

For Classic orders, you can mix the three sizes within each cap color without a minimum per size. Check the measurements in the designer before collecting your team's sizes. A retail sample can help with fit, but it is not a stitched sample of your custom logo.

2. Prepare your logo for embroidery

Use your original artwork rather than a screenshot when possible. The Classic designer accepts AI, SVG, EPS, PNG, PDF, JPG and WebP files. You can also add text directly in the designer.

• Keep the design readable: small lettering, thin lines and fine details may need simplifying for embroidery.
• Consider contrast: preview the logo against each cap color so the design is easy to see.
• Flag essential details: tell us if a particular color or part of your logo must be preserved. Contact us before ordering if an exact color match is essential.

Our team handles artwork cleanup and embroidery preparation. This ordering path is for embroidery. If you want a patch, print or another treatment, describe it in your custom inquiry so we can confirm suitability before you order.

3. Preview placement, colors and quantity

Upload your logo in the Classic designer, choose its placement and preview it on your selected cap colors. The digital mockup helps you compare options; it is a visual guide, not an exact representation of finished stitching or color.

Custom Classic orders start at 25 caps per color. Two cap colors therefore require at least 50 caps in total. You can mix Small, Regular and XL within each color, and the same design is embroidered across the selected colors. The designer shows pricing as you choose quantities and placements.

4. Order and review your stitched sample photo

For Classic Caps, a stitched sample is made after you place and pay for the order; custom embroidered samples are not produced before ordering. Sample production is estimated at 3–4 business days, and we email you a photo for review.

Approve the sample or request changes within 7 business days of the review email. Requests for changes must be resolved before bulk production. If there is no response, production may proceed using the latest sample sent; the deadline passing does not automatically approve the sample or start production.

Main Classic production is estimated at 2–3 weeks after sample review. Allow additional time for review, revisions and shipping. If you have an event date, tell us before ordering so we can discuss the timeline.

Choose your next step

Open the Classic Cap designer to preview your logo and pricing. For help with your artwork, cap style or event requirements, send a custom cap inquiry.

If your own embroidery shop or decorator will add the logo, use wholesale blank-cap ordering instead. Blank trade and finished custom embroidery are separate ordering paths.
