Types of cap design
The first difference between caps is their construction. Here are the main models:
5 panel cap
Very much in vogue in the world of skateboarding and streetwear, this minimalist flocked cap has a sleek look and a perfect fit.
Benefits: modern look, comfortable, perfect for a young audience.
6 panel cap
The most versatile cap! Its rounded cut and flexible structure ensure maximum comfort and an all-round style.
Benefits: suitable for all styles, excellent base for a personalised embroidered cap.
Caps by style and use
Each cap shape meets different needs, whether for image or comfort:
Baseball cap
A classic! The custom baseball cap par excellence: curved peak, everyday comfort, perfect blend of sport and casual. Ideal for custom cap printing with logo.
Trucker cap
With its breathable mesh, it's perfect for summer and outdoor events.
Snapback cap
For an assertive look, this top-of-the-range personalised cap features a flat peak and a stylish adjustment system. Popular with hip-hop and the urban world.
Strapback cap
More elegant than the snapback thanks to its fabric or leather fastening. A good compromise between refined design and comfort.

No need for adjustment! The elastic headband ensures a perfect fit. Ideal for those looking for a top-of-the-range, hassle-free promotional cap.
Flat cap (beret)
Perfect for a retro, distinguished look. A good option for a quality personalised cap with a unique style.
Dadcap
Rounded shape, short peak: this is the retro cap par excellence. Simple, effective and perfect for discreet cap flocking.
Which personalisation technique should I choose?
Have you chosen your design? Now you need to decide how to personalise it: embroidery or transfer?
Each technique has its advantages:
Transfer
- Ideal for complex or very colourful designs.
- Perfect for small or medium production runs.
- An economical solution for a low-cost personalised cap.
- Avoid on thick or textured materials (wool, fleece).

Embroidery
- Provides a high-end finish and good durability.
- Gives relief and texture.
- Best option for a quality advertising cap.
- To be avoided on fabrics that are too thin, which risk distortion.

Personalised embroidered caps remain a safe bet for a professional look, while flocking for caps (via transfer) allows for more graphic freedom.

The cap is much more than a simple accessory: it's a powerful communication medium, a style statement, and a summer must-have.
