Digitizing logos for hats involves custom embroidery digitization, where company logos, monograms, and designs are transformed for hat embroidery. Hat logo digitizing is considered a unique and challenging aspect of embroidery digitization due to the limited space available on hats. Our digitizers employ specialized techniques, primarily bottom-up and center-out approaches, ensuring precision. Since hat logos require careful digitization, any flaw in the process could compromise the entire design.
Types of hats use for embroidery
Structural Hats
Structured hats don’t fall apart when you take them off from head and stay the same shape. This is because they have back support, like a buckram or a portion of stiff fabric.
Unstructured Hats
An unstructured hat lacks the ability to maintain its shape, and its crown slightly collapses when removed from the head. Unlike a structured hat, it lacks support in the back.
Beanies
A beanie is a soft, spherical cap with a tiny or lacking border. The knit cap is elastic and fits the head well. Your head can be fully covered by it.
