Planning your caps order for United Kingdom

A caps order for United Kingdom should be planned backwards from the selling season. Four seasons, with autumn-winter ranges ordered by April and spring-summer by October; peaks include Eid, Diwali, Black Friday, Christmas and back-to-school. For caps specifically, caps sell strongly in summer, at sports events and in promotional campaigns; winter beanies are ordered by July for the northern autumn. Our lead time is 25–40 days, plus sea transit of about 20–30 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of caps in United Kingdom include promotional-merchandise companies, sports and event organisers, school and uniform suppliers and retail chains and wholesalers. Around London, Birmingham, Leicester and Manchester, they usually order 1,000–3,000 pieces per design; 500 pieces for stock colours with simple embroidery and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Fabric, fit and colour choices for United Kingdom

Colder months in United Kingdom reward heavier weights and blends. For caps we propose Cotton twill 240–280 GSM for the core range and acrylic knit for beanies for the cold-weather edit.

Sizes: Adjustable with strap, snap or buckle closures; fitted sizes S–XL; kids' sizes. Colours: Over 30 stock colours; contrast peaks, panels and under-peak colours.

Caps made in bulk to your colour, size and design for United Kingdom

You are not limited to stock designs. We make caps in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the United Kingdom market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

  • Colour: Over 30 stock colours; contrast peaks, panels and under-peak colours.
  • Size: Adjustable with strap, snap or buckle closures; fitted sizes S–XL; kids' sizes.
  • Design and branding: 3D puff or flat embroidery, woven and rubber patches, custom colours and linings and private-label inside tapes and tags.
