When it comes to customizing blank hats, you have quite a few decoration methods to choose from - such as embroidery, digital heat transfer, screen printing, and so on. However, staying ahead of the latest trends in decoration helps you come up with innovative and original designs that people would love to wear. This article dive into two of the trending decoration ideas for making bold and fashionable statements - Flat and 3D. . Here is how the two methods compare.

Embroidery is a decoration process in which the logo is sewn on the surface of the fabric. The elegant appeal and durability of embroidery designs make them a favored option for creating promotional products and customized apparel like t-shirts, hoodies, bags, hats, and more. 

Flat embroidery, is considered the classic method for creating custom caps. In this method, the decorative stitches are made directly onto the fabric. Flat embroidery works the best for relatively simple logos that do not have small texts or color gradients. The classy look of flat embroidery designs makes it a common choice for corporate gifting, personal use, and more.

3D embroidery (sometimes called puff embroidery) is very comparable to the previous method considering how the design gets stitched onto the fabric. However, the embroidery stitches are made over a foam puff to raise the surface of the design and to give it a three-dimensional look. Due to the limitations of stitching over foam, this method works best for simple logos and initials. Since it makes the design stand out, 3D embroidery is preferred by people using big and bold logos for brand promotion.


In the end, choosing between the two comes does to the complexity of the logo, your customer's preferences, and other factors. If you want to customize blank snapback hats, trucker hats, baseball hats, or other popular styles with your custom design, logo, or artwork, CapBargain is here to help!
