Private label and OEM/ODM hat manufacturing
We make private label hats for brands that want their own designs produced under their own label. Work with us OEM from your tech pack or sample, or ODM when you only have an idea: our design team draws it up, we confirm fabric, color and logo method with you, make a sample, then move to bulk production and ship by express, sea or air. One factory covers baseball caps, snapback hats, bucket hats, beanies and winter hats and RPET hats.

The whole process of a private label hat order
Here is how a private label hat order runs, step by step
Design

Production
Depending on the order quantity, different production lines are opened to ensure the fastest delivery time.
Shipping
We are close to Shanghai port, so shipping is convenient. You can choose express, sea or air freight.
What happens at each stage
- Brief. You send the style, logo, quantity and delivery date. A reference photo is enough to start.
- Quote and mockup. We price the hat and draw a digital mockup showing the colors, logo size and logo position.
- Fabric and trims. Together we choose the fabric, panel colors, closure and labels.
- Sampling. We make a physical sample and send it to you.
- Approval. You sign off the sample, and it becomes the standard for the whole order.
- Bulk production. Cutting, logo decoration, sewing, shaping and finishing.
- Quality control and packing. Hats are checked against the approved sample and packed the way you asked.
- Shipping. By express, sea or air, with your own forwarder or ours.

We offer tailor-made design and develop products according to market needs. Don’t worry, we will give you plenty of suggestions during the design stage.
Each week we develop new trend designs for you to choose from, based on industry data and big brand trends.
Designs can be customized on request, including logo, size, style and color.

With over 100 fabrics to choose from, you’ll never be short of ideas. Our design team will work to your requirements. There is no minimum order here.
Custom Logo
To make your brand stand out, we can add your logo in different positions on the hat.
Embroidery is the classic choice for caps and lasts as long as the hat. TPU and silicone embossed logos give a raised, rubber-like finish. Patches carry fine detail, and printing suits full-color and all-over designs. Not sure which one fits your artwork? See how to choose between embroidery, a patch and print.
