Common Questions

Custom Hats FAQ - Whittier

Answers to the most common questions about custom hats for Whittier businesses and organizations.

Where can I get custom embroidered hats near Whittier?

French Press Custom produces custom embroidered and printed hats at our Santa Fe Springs facility, just 10 minutes from Whittier. We offer 3D puff embroidery, flat embroidery, screen printing, and DTF transfers on Richardson, Flexfit, Yupoong, and other premium hat brands. Embroidered hats start at 24 pieces; DTF printed hats start at 12.

How much do custom hats cost in the Gateway Cities area?

Custom hat pricing for Gateway Cities orders depends on the hat style and decoration method. Front-panel embroidery on structured caps runs about $7.88 per hat at 24 pieces and about $5.25 at 100+, plus the blank cap (Richardson 112 is the most popular). 3D puff and extra locations add to that. Volume discounts at 48+, 100+, and 200+ pieces. One-time digitizing fee of $45.00 for embroidery.

What is 3D puff embroidery?

3D puff embroidery creates a raised, dimensional effect by stitching over foam material. The foam lifts the thread above the cap surface, creating a premium look popular for logos and lettering. It works best on structured caps with bold, simple designs. Fine detail and small text don't work well with puff - we'll advise on the best approach for your design.

What hat styles do you offer?

We offer structured caps, unstructured dad hats, snapbacks, trucker hats (mesh back), fitted caps, visors, beanies, bucket hats, and flat-bill caps. Top brands include Richardson (112, 115, 511), Flexfit (6277, 110), Yupoong, and Pacific Headwear. We can customize the front, sides, back, and under-brim on most styles.

Can you do small logo embroidery on the side of a hat?

Yes - side embroidery is a popular option. We can embroider on the left side, right side, and back of most cap styles in addition to the front panel. Each location is priced separately. Side logos work best at 2-2.5 inches wide. We also offer under-brim decoration for a unique premium touch.

Can you rush custom hats in Whittier?

Yes. Rush windows by method: screen printing and embroidery in 3-5 days, DTG and DTF in 2-3 days, heat transfer vinyl in 24-48 hours, quoted per project. Pickup in Santa Fe Springs as soon as the job is done, or local delivery to Whittier. See our rush printing page for details.
