MOQ is 100 pieces per style, sampling takes 5–7 days, and bulk production runs 15–25 days after sample approval.

MOQ, Quality & Shipping

MOQ is 100 pieces per style for fully custom sun hats and visors. Our standard sun styles already run in multiple colourways, so a colour change or a logo addition on an existing style is the fastest way to a small custom run. Sampling takes 5–7 days; bulk production is 15–25 days after sample approval and deposit, with unit price breaks at 100, 300, 500 and 1,000 pieces.

The quality of a sun hat shows in the brim: whether it holds its shape, whether the edge finish is clean, and whether the top-stitch spacing is consistent around the curve. Our QC inspects brim shape, edge finish, neck-flap and cord function, decoration placement and measurements on 100% of finished goods before packing. We ship worldwide by DHL, FedEx, air or sea freight, and sun hats pack compactly relative to their visual size, which keeps freight costs reasonable.

Custom Sun Hats: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MOQ for custom sun hats?
100 pieces per style for fully customized sun hats, visors and wide-brim hats. If you choose one of our existing sun styles and only change the colourway or add a logo, smaller quantities can sometimes be negotiated.
Do you make UV-protective sun hats?
We produce sun hats in UV-rated and UPF-labelled fabrics where fabric protection is part of the product claim, and we can build full-coverage shapes — wide down-turned brims, neck flaps and open-top visors. Tell us the protection level you need to claim and we will confirm which fabrics and constructions support it.
Can you make a packable sun hat for a travel range?
Yes. A crushable construction uses a soft fabric brim without a rigid stiffening board, so the hat folds into a bag and springs back. Tell us at the enquiry stage that packability is a requirement and we will build the sample accordingly.
What is the difference between a sun hat and a bucket hat?
Both are unstructured with a down-sloping brim. A sun hat generally has a wider, more protective brim and is often built with functional features such as a neck flap, chin cord or UV-rated fabric. A bucket hat is a shorter, more lifestyle-oriented shape. Both are produced at the same 100-piece MOQ.
How long does a sun hat order take?
Sampling takes 5–7 days after confirmation. Bulk production is 15–25 days after sample approval and deposit, depending on quantity and the number of decoration positions.
