Custom New Era Hats — Embroidery & Printing

Yes. Merlin Embroidery works with leading apparel brands, including New Era, to create custom caps with embroidered logos, printed designs, or a combination of decoration methods. The team can help you choose structured, flexible, or performance-style hats that fit your brand, event, or uniform program while keeping artwork placement clean and professional.

Embroidery is usually the best choice for premium logos, business branding, and durable everyday wear because the design is stitched into the hat. Printing can be better for certain bold graphics, large designs, or artwork with effects that do not translate well into thread. Merlin Embroidery reviews your logo and recommends the option that will look best on the cap style you select.

Turnaround depends on quantity, artwork readiness, and production schedule, but Merlin Embroidery is known for fast 5-10 day delivery on many custom embroidery and screen printing projects. Same-day embroidery and printing services may be available for select jobs. For tight deadlines, provide artwork, quantity, and pickup needs as early as possible.

Pricing is based on hat style, quantity, stitch count, design complexity, and whether embroidery, printing, or both are used. Logo embroidery typically starts around $8-$15 per item for stitching, with lower per-item costs on bulk orders. Merlin Embroidery also offers competitive pricing, bulk discounts, and clear quotes with no hidden fees.

Clean vector artwork is ideal, but Merlin Embroidery can also help optimize or prepare your logo for production. The team provides free design optimization and can assist with sizing, orientation, and color recommendations so your design works properly on a curved hat surface. A clear mock-up helps confirm the final look before production begins.

The company handles both small and large custom apparel orders efficiently, with experience producing 12 to 12,000 garments. Minimums may vary by product, decoration method, and supplier availability, so it is best to share your preferred New Era style and quantity. Bulk orders typically receive better per-item pricing and more efficient production scheduling.

Yes. If you are still finalizing your design, Merlin Embroidery offers free consultation, design mock-ups, and logo optimization. The team can recommend thread colors, print colors, placement, and sizing that align with brand guidelines. This is especially helpful for businesses, schools, teams, and events that need consistent, polished branded headwear.

Embroidered hat logos are designed to be durable, textured, and long-lasting, with stitching that resists fading and frequent wear. Merlin Embroidery uses computerized embroidery and high-speed machines for consistent clarity and detail. For best results, avoid harsh laundering, excessive heat, and abrasive cleaning methods, especially on structured caps and performance fabrics.
