Printing hats and beanies in Nijmegen

• Turn-up hat:the classic knitted beanie with a folded-back edge, such as the turn-up hat from K-UP. The turn-up provides a flat area at the front for your logo.
• Hat with patch:a beanie with a fixed fabric panel at the front, specially made for printing. For example the Original Patch Beanie or the hat with round patch, which works nicely with a round logo.
• Lined hat:models with a Thinsulate™ lining keep you extra warm, handy for anyone who stands outside for long periods. There's also a recycled hat with patch and Thinsulate™ lining.
• Sports hat:a thinner, close-fitting hat such as the Sport Beanie, for runners and cyclists who don't want a thick hat.

A hat really only has one spot that counts: the front. As a guideline:

• On the turn-up:a logo or text 6 to 8 cm wide and 3 to 5 cm high, centred above the forehead.
• On the patch:the design fills the patch, with a small border around it. A round patch calls for a round or compact logo.
• As a label:a small logo of 3 to 4 cm on the side of the turn-up, for an understated, brand-like look.

Also think about contrast: a hat is often dark, such as black, navy or anthracite. A logo in white, yellow or a light foil colour then stays legible from a distance, while a dark blue logo on a black hat almost disappears. On a light hat, it works the other way round.

Wide, horizontal logo or a long company name? Then a hat with a turn-up works better than a hat with a small patch. In the digital proof you'll see exactly how it fits.

Knitted fabric has texture: the stitches form small ridges, and very fine lines get lost in them. That's why, for hats, we prefer a bold, clearly legible design, and a hat with a patch is the cleanest base.

• Cut vinylis ideal for a logo or name in one or two colours. With 104 foil colours, including fluorescent that stands out in the grey winter months, and gold or silver for a festive hat.
• DTF transferis used for a full-colour logo, preferably on a patch, where the smooth surface shows details well.

We print hats for construction and landscaping companies, delivery services, market stalls, skating clubs, scouting groups and schools going on a ski trip. A printed hat is also popular as a winter accessory alongside workwear or as a corporate gift at the end of the year. Businesses from Nijmegen, Wijchen, Beuningen and Groesbeek often collect their hats from our workshop.

• 1. Choose:pick out the hat and choose the colour and quantity. You can order from 1 piece.
• 2. Put together the print:choose 1 colour or full colour and upload your logo or text.
• 3. Digital proof:you always receive a proof for approval first; we only print once you've approved it.
• 4. Printing and collection:we print in our workshop on Betouwstraat. Collect in Nijmegen city centre or have it delivered.

Wash a printed hat by hand in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, gently squeeze it out and lay it flat to dry. Do not tumble dry and do not iron over the print. This keeps the hat in shape and the logo neat.
