Screen Printing is a classic technique that works well on both structured and unstructured hat styles. It’s ideal for intricate artwork, including distressed designs, and is capable of delivering vibrant colors and precise details. When used on the front of the hat, its best suited for 5-panel styles to avoid complications when crossing seams.
Design Tips:
Minimum detail size: for best results, art elements should be a minimum of 0.25mm wide. Details smaller than 0.25mm may lack consistency in production.
Minimum text height: for best results, text should be a minimum of 0.75 mm tall. Text smaller than 0.75mm may not print clearly.
For designs with more than five colors or gradients: consider a heat transfer as a more cost-effective alternative while maintaining high detail.
