Introduction:
We often get asked: “Can I order just 1 or 2 hats?” While we’d love to help every idea get stitched into reality, we’ve set our minimum order quantity (MOQ) at 12 for good reason. It ensures the highest quality at a fair price—for both you and us.
Why the 12-Piece MOQ Exists:
Custom embroidery involves setup fees, digitizing your design, proofing samples, and machine setup—whether it’s for 1 hat or 100. To keep pricing fair and quality high, we require 12 pieces per design. It helps us deliver the best experience, consistency, and value.
If you’re testing a new idea or brand, 12 is a great place to start—it gives you room to share, sell, or test your market.
Alternatives if You Need Fewer:
Partner with a group order, split styles with the same design, or prepare for a bigger batch when you're ready. We’re happy to help with tips on how to build small-batch momentum.
FAQs:
-
Why can’t I order just one hat?
Setup time and embroidery costs make low-volume orders inefficient. -
Is 12 really the minimum?
Yes—all embroidery jobs start at 12 hats per design. -
Can I mix hat styles in the same order?
Yes—if the design stays the same across styles. -
Do you offer sample-only runs?
We do—but these still require a 12-piece minimum. -
Can I reorder in smaller quantities later?
Reorders must also meet the 12-piece MOQ.
