Southern Monograms, your leading provider of promotional products, knows that beanies are a perfect choice for giveaways, team building, or employee appreciation. This blog post dives into everything you need to know about branded beanies, from selecting the right style to fabric options.
Unveiling Beanie Styles
There are two main beanie styles to consider:
- Roll Down (Skull Beanie): This classic beanie offers a clean look, but the embroidery backing may rub against the wearer’s head.
- Turn Up (Roll Up Beanie): This beanie features a foldable flap that creates an inner layer for comfort and protects from embroidery irritation.
Optimizing Logo Placement and Embroidery
The type of beanie you choose will influence your logo placement and embroidery options.
- Roll Down Beanies: Due to their design, these beanies have a limited logo height of about 45mm. Landscape logos work best with this style.
- Turn Up Beanies: These beanies offer more space, allowing for larger, portrait-style logos.
- Utlising badges: For those concerned about embroidery irritation on roll down beanies, you can alleviate this problem by using a badge. Badges offer a neat solution as they do not rub against the head, eliminating any potential discomfort.
Selecting the Right Fabric for Warmth and Style
Beanies come in a variety of fabrics, each with unique properties:
- Acrylic Beanies: An affordable choice for general wear, but not the warmest option.
- Merino Wool Beanies: Known for their softness, lightweight feel, and excellent warmth, merino wool beanies are a popular choice in colder climates.
- Insulated Acrylic Beanies: For extreme warmth, consider insulated acrylic beanies with linings like 3M Thinsulate.
- Cotton Beanies: These beanies offer a fashionable choice with a chunky look, available in styles like cable knit.
- Microfleece Beanies: A warm and lightweight option, microfleece beanies are a practical choice.
- Polar Fleece Beanies: While very warm, polar fleece beanies may not be the most stylish option.
- Beanies with Pom-Poms: Add a touch of fun and personality to your branded beanie.
Cost-Effective Beanies
Beanies become more affordable when purchased in bulk. Here’s a general pricing guide as of July 2024:
- Low Quantities: $20+ per unit
- High Quantities (Hundreds): $8-$10 per unit
- if you are double branding, i.e front and back branding the prices will be more.
