How to Make Custom Beanies

Custom embroidered beanies are the perfect accessory for winter. Cozy and cute, these personalized hats elevate your seasonal attire. Whether you need winter uniforms for your team, cute branded merch to sell, personalized gifts for the holidays, or just want to design your own unique accessory, these personalized beanies can be a versatile new addition to anyone’s wardrobe.

GotPrint’s custom beanies embroidered with high-quality threads are the best option for personalized apparel. Most of our beanies with designs are made with super soft 100% acrylic fabric (athletic gray beanies are 68/32 Poly/Acrylic material). These winter hats are one size fits most, and the stretchy fabric makes them suitable for all ages. The knit material on the custom winter hats will keep your head warm through cold weather. The material is easy to handwash to keep the fabric fresh. Your personalized design will be embroidered onto the cuffed beanie.

Another benefit of ordering custom beanies from GotPrint is that you can place a bulk order or just receive one. If you’re in the market for custom embroidered beanies no minimum, GotPrint is the best shop to place your order.

GotPrint offers 9 beanie color options: black, white, athletic gray, red, olive green, millennium blue, brown, navy, and coyote brown. This wide variety means you can easily find a shade that matches your business branding or personal style. 

There are a few rules to keep in mind when creating custom made beanies. The top priority is your design. The colors need to contrast with the base beanie shade. For example, a design with black text will blend into a black beanie. Instead, you should choose a light-colored material, like white or red. Another consideration is your pre-existing branding. If your brand colors or team colors are white and red, then those beanies will work great and match any current uniforms. If you’re making professional corporate beanies, you can’t go wrong with a classic black or navy.

There are a few rules for custom embroidery to ensure your design looks just like you pictured it. Embroidered hat designs look best when they’re simple. Anything too complex won’t look good when transformed into a stitched pattern. If you have a photo, it won’t work well as personalized embroidered beanies, since those intricate details and colors won’t work as embroidery. That’s why minimalist graphics, brand logos, text, and patterns are well suited to embroidery. 

You can choose up to 12 thread colors: white, black, silver, gold, red, blue, green, yellow, orange, light pink, light blue, and born. Again, the threads you select should contrast with the beanie color you chose. 

Any text in your design should be converted into outlines. Your design file should be in RGB color mode and at least 300 DPI.
