What Is Custom Hats?
Custom hats are branded headwear decorated with your logo, team name, or artwork so your group looks sharp and consistent.
Custom hats start with a blank cap and turn it into a piece of branded headwear that carries your logo everywhere it goes. At QwikTees, we offer a wide range of styles, including classic cap hats, custom trucker hats, snapback hats, structured hats, unstructured hats, and outdoor work hats. Once you pick your style, we decorate it with embroidery, a leather patch, or DTF printing to match the look you want.
What makes custom headwear distinctive is that it works in almost any setting. A branded hat can be part of your daily business uniforms, a giveaway at a community event, or matching gear for a youth sports team. Because hats are worn out in public, they keep your brand visible long after the order is done. That is a lot of value from one simple item.
Plenty of groups in DeLand and across Volusia County rely on custom hats. Landscapers and lawn care crews wear wide brim hats and sun protection hats on the job, restaurants outfit their staff with branded caps, and schools and churches order matching hats for events. If your organization wants to look professional and stay on-brand, custom hats are an easy place to start.

Pricing, Minimums & Turnaround
Every hat order is a little different, so we build a quote around your exact needs.
Pricing for custom hats is based on a custom quote that factors in the hat style, quantity, your logo or design, and the decoration method you choose. Embroidery, leather patches, and DTF printing each price differently, and larger quantities often bring the cost per hat down. Minimum orders vary by decoration method, and small orders are available, so we can work with both small crews and large groups. If you are also looking at shirts or other gear, ask about our full range of custom apparel services so we can bundle your order.
Our standard turnaround is 5-7 business days once your artwork and order details are approved. If you have an event, season opener, or grand opening on the calendar, tell us early and we will help you plan ahead. Many DeLand and Volusia County customers pair their hats with matching work uniforms or screen printed shirts to complete their branded look.
