Types of Caps
If you are looking to buy Caps as corporate giveaways or promotional hand-outs, it can be a daunting task to screen through the vast number of Caps that are available on the market. And of course we are not referring to bottle caps that fit on a bottle. Nor are we making reference to the polar ice cap.
We are talking about the kind of Cap that is almost like a kind of hat that fit on a person’s head. In other words something like trucker caps; a baseball cap for baseball; a ball cap; golf caps or other kind of sports caps. Or Caps that are suitable for a viewer that has to brave sharp sunlight when watching sports, such as a visor cap. Or maybe even the kind of Caps that people have to wear to work such as safety caps in case of a fire.
Whichever way, when searching for a suitable cap company and reading all these different Cap terms of caps for sale, such as a back cap; plastic caps; a double cap and king caps……it can become very confusing. So here is a brief guide on the different kind of Caps and general Cap terms…..
The different types of Caps that you will generally find in the cap collection of importers and/or exporters of world caps are:
- Fitted Caps: Made of 100% wool it is usually worn by baseball players and has an elevated profile and structured front part;
- Adjusted Caps: Made of any material such as wool; plastic; cotton or mesh, it usually has a strap or valve with Velcro that will adjust it to fit any size of head;
- Unstructured Caps: These kinds of Caps are less structured than the fitted Cap for a more casual look and are also adjustable;
- Visor Caps: A visor cap is basically a head strap with a rim, or a Cap without the top. The strap or head band can often even have leds. They are much cooler and more suitable to wear in hot weather than other types of Caps, but should not be worn in direct sunlight;
- Bucket Caps: These Caps have broad rims and are very similar to a hat that a cowboy or farmer would wear. Turn it around and it would look like a bucket! To this day it remains a very popular and universal Cap choice.
Caps For Corporate Gifts
In many cases it would be much better to hand out hat caps as corporate giveaways instead of something like a pen. Especially when your target market includes sporty people or staff members that frequently work outdoors. But when you are looking to use Caps as corporate gifts, just bear the following in mind:
- Consider doing something unique to differentiate yourself from your competitors. Ask the manufacturer to design a Custom Cap just for you;
- If you want to buy ready made Caps, have a lookout for what is trendy in this era and screen through the new era caps to find the new era cap that best suits your company’s personality, even if it is an orange cap;
- Many companies deal with printers to have their logo printed on their Caps in a single colour print. But instead of the usual prints, why not do something special and have your company logo embroidered on the Caps through a company that can use the latest embroidery techniques.
