Which Hat Type Should You Choose?
Whether you’re looking for hat styles for a casual or sporty affair, you’ll be able to find the right one at UPrinting. We offer a variety of hat styles that fit any style and budget. How do you know which one to choose? Here’s a quick breakdown:
-
Structured Caps – These caps give a polished look, thanks to the sturdy fabric that retains its shape when not worn. Typically seen on baseball players and other athletes, these custom caps have a sporty appeal that makes them perfect for team uniforms.
-
Unstructured Caps – With no support behind the front panels, the top or crown of these caps collapses when removed from the head. Casual and trendy, these caps are best for everyday wear.
Except for beanies, bucket hats, boonie hats, and visors, most of the caps we offer fall under either of the two categories. Regardless of which type you choose, you can be confident of the quality and craftsmanship of these custom hats

How to Select the Right Custom Hats for Your Team
Choosing the right hat is oftentimes a matter of personal taste. But if you are picking headwear for your team or employees, there are a few more factors to consider.
1. Right sizing.
- Consider getting caps that fit most head sizes.
- Choose one-size-fits-most caps with adjustable straps.
- Opt for beanies made from stretchy knit fabric for flexible comfort.
2. Breathable materials.
- Go for moisture-wicking fabrics like cotton-polyester blends to make hat-wearing comfortable.
- Choose hats with a mesh back for breathability and comfort
3. Sun and weather protection.
- Visors, curved-bill, flat-bill, bucket, and boonie hats are great for UV protection.
- Structured hats provide coverage in light rain or a drizzle without totally soaking the fabric.
4. Durability and quality.
- Choose unstructured hats and beanies made from durable fabrics such as nylon, polyester, or twill. These materials are lightweight and flexible, which helps maintain their shape and quality even when folded or packed in a bag.
5. Versatility and customization.
- Choose colors that match your team's uniform or brand personality.
- Add embroidered logos to your hats for a professional look and to increase brand awareness.
Tip: You can order as few as one piece to test your logo design before a bulk order.
