Vantage Apparel, a leading provider of premium apparel and award-winning decoration services, is excited to announce the addition of 4 bold, new patch decoration options to its growing collection of in-stock headwear. With fashion-forward styles and versatile decoration capabilities, Vantage continues to meet the rising demand for headwear as a go-to brand expression tool that combines both style and lasting comfort.
According to the Advertising Specialty Institute’s (ASI) State of the Industry 2024 study, caps have evolved far beyond their utilitarian roots, ranked as the 4th top revenue category in the industry. Today, branded headwear is one of the most in-demand promotional products, double as both a fashion accessory and a walking billboard. Whether worn on the golf course, at a festival, on a job site, or in everyday casualwear, custom branded caps are everywhere – and for good reason.
“Headwear offers universal appeal as a one-size-fits-all solution, making it ideal for company stores, giveaways, events and uniform programs,” said Lauren Monnier, Director of Merchandising at Vantage Apparel. “With Vantage’s deep stock and wide style range – from classic truckers to modern snapbacks and the new, cozy bucket cap – brands can easily find the perfect fit for their audiences.”
Vantage’s new patch decoration styles give distributors a fresh way to add texture, detail and bold impact to every cap, available with a 48-piece minimum. New patch deco options include:
- Woven Patches: Perfect for intricate details and vibrant colors, offering a smooth, high-definition finish.
- Faux Leather Patches: Add a touch of premium sophistication and rugged elegance with a subtle, yet impactful, branded statement.
- Sublimated Patches: Ideal for full-color, photo-quality detail that help intricate designs stand out.
- Classic Embroidered Patches: For a timeless, textured look that conveys quality and tradition.
Each patch is heat-applied for durability, finished with either a clean laser-cut edge or a classic merrowed stitch border, and designed to fit on any non-mesh cap, from 5-panel to 6-panel. Patches can be custom-designed in a wide range of intricate shapes and sizes, with a maximum imprint area of 2.5” x 3”.
“As brands look for more impactful and wearable ways to express their identity, headwear continues to rise as a top performer,” said Rob Watson, CEO of Vantage Apparel. “Our new patch options give customers fresh, premium ways to tell their brand story—with style, speed, and scale. Whether it's a small business, global brand, or anything in between, a great cap connects people to the brand in a tangible, lasting way.”
