Sportsman SP-08, SP-12, SP-15 knit beanies with embroidered patches or direct embroidery. Lightweight cuffed knit; popular for music festivals, hospitality teams, and cold-weather event merch.

Direct-to-garment (DTG) is full-color inkjet straight onto the fabric — best for photography, gradients, complex art, and low quantities. Screen-print uses a fabric stencil and is best for solid-color spot designs at higher quantities (50+ pieces per design). DTG has no setup; screen-print has a per-color setup cost that amortizes over the run.

Adult sizing runs S through 3XL on most blanks. Some premium blanks (Bella+Canvas premium tees) go to 4XL. Womens-cut and unisex-cut available as separate blanks.

Export at 300 dpi minimum at the final print size. Use sRGB or wide-gamut RGB (not CMYK — DTG runs in RGB). Save as PNG with transparency for DTG, or as vector SVG/EPS for screen-print. Avoid hairline strokes thinner than 1pt — they don't survive a single wash.

No minimums on DTG runs — single-piece samples are allowed and priced. Screen-print effectively has a minimum (typically 24–50 pieces per design) because of the per-color setup cost; DTG is cheaper below that threshold.

Embroidery runs 5–10 business days from artwork approval — slower than DTG/screen-print because embroidery machines run physically slower per piece. Setup includes digitising the design into a stitch file. Larger quantities scale linearly: 100 hats is roughly 4× the production time of 25.

Wash inside-out in cold water with mild detergent; tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid bleach. Both DTG and screen-print survive 50+ washes in good condition under those rules. Hot wash + hot tumble dry significantly shortens lifespan — fade and cracking become visible by wash 20–25.
