It’s common to see embroidery and printing on clothing and hats. Therefore, for the apparel and accessories industry, embroidery is essential to designing hats and apparel. So, from the consumer’s point of view, knowing a little bit about embroidery is very helpful for them while buying clothes or hats. Here – Aung Crown, one of the most reliable baseball cap manufacturers, will introduce 4 types of embroidery for personalized baseball caps.

1.    Flat Embroidery

Flat embroidery means embroidering flatly on the surface of the fabrics with mild flat to the touch and a little bit of hard touch.

It’s common to see connecting and uncut threads between patterns and letters of flat embroidery on low-profile baseball caps. This is because high-speed embroidery machines can embroider the entire pattern, and the machines can’t be stopped to cut the threads. In general, workers cut the threads after the embroidery is finished. However, some low-quality baseball caps are cheap, and cutting threads are ignored. So, when you choose a cap, please pay attention to this.

2.    3D Embroidery/Raised Embroidery

3D embroidery also called raised embroidery, is embroidering patterns with padding to create a three-dimensional or raised effect. When touching 3D embroidered patterns, there is a convex to-the-touch. Please pay attention to whether there are threads on the 3D embroidered patterns or not when buying.

3.    Applique Embroidery

Applique embroidery is embroidering a piece of fabric or leather on the hat and some of them will make a on the edge of the fabric or leather. Applique embroidery is a kind of designable style. Sometimes the edge of the applique is quite clean.

4.    Patch Embroidery

Patch embroidery involves embroidering the design onto a patch, and then sewing the embroidered patch onto the hat.

In general, embroidery is much more applied to the apparel industry. However, the embroidered areas are quite small because a large scale of embroidery may be uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, hats are more suitable for embroidery. In addition, embroidery can improve the overall texture of the hat. During the hat design, there are some large scales of embroidery or embroidery on the whole crown, making the hat much more like a piece of art. Of course, the more embroidery design, the larger the pattern, and the cost of embroidery will be much higher, leading to an expensive price of the hat.
