Find out how profitable they could be below...

Hats & Caps

Did you know a blank Beechfield Brands cap costs just £3?

You can fit up to 200 5cm logos on 1x metre of High Build HTV, making each 5cm hat design just 5p each! 

Depending on your market, you could retail your finished caps at £10-25 each and make up to £22 profit this year!

What you'll need:

The Hotronix 360IQ Cap Press - The newest standard in hat heat printing. The heated moulded lower platen fits any cap, offers 360 degrees of decoration and minimises scorching.

High Build HTV - While other hat decoration methods are available and profitable, this HTV is the thickest on the market and has been known to turn heads. 

Can Coolers

Perfect for when the weather heats up!

Blank Can Coolers cost as little as 50p each when purchased in bulk. With a similar size print space to hats, you'll be looking at a production cost of no more than £1 total per can cooler. If you implement a similar method as the above hats, your decoration method could cost as little as 5p!

Make sure your set your minimum order quantity for this product accordingly. If you're printing promotional can coolers for events, by creating bundles of x20 or more, you'll ensure the job is worth printing and you'll actually make some profit. Perhaps you could throw a can cooler or two in with a larger garment bundle for extra value.

With blank pairs of shorts starting at just £5 on Ralawise.com and the expected print size no bigger than a 10cm neck label, you could be making around £15 profit on each pair.

A Heat Press Pillow - This will help isolate a small area of the shorts for printing and allow any seams to sink away from the print space and into the pillow.
