The flat peak and the snap closure define a snapback. The front is structured, so the cap holds its shape and gives a large, firm panel for embroidery, and the plastic strap adjusts to most head sizes without a fixed size range. Because the peak is flat, the underside is visible when the cap is worn, so many buyers print or colour it. Flat embroidery and 3D puff embroidery both suit the firm front. We keep the peak flat or pre-curve it to your instruction and confirm on the sample. - **Streetwear and fashion labels** Flat-peak caps in drops, collaborations and limited runs. - **Sports clubs and fan shops** Team-colour snapbacks with embroidered crests. - **Music, events and creative brands** Collectable caps with a printed underside. - **Retailers and distributors** Wholesale ranges in core colours with your own label and packaging. Customization ## Build your snapback cap Every part of the design is yours. Our design team sends a mockup of each logo and label placement, and every detail is confirmed in a tech pack before sampling. - **Choose the crown** Structured six-panel crown, mid or high profile, with front buckram. - **Design the peak** Flat peak with a contrast colour, printed underside, piping or a woven trim. - **Pick the fabric** Cotton twill, wool blend, acrylic, polyester, nylon or faux suede.

The crown construction is similar. **### Can I print the underside of the peak?** Yes. Underside prints and contrast colours are common on snapbacks. We test the print on the sample so it stays clean under the flat peak. **### Can the peak be curved?** Yes. We can pre-curve the peak to your instruction, although a flat peak is what most buyers expect from a snapback. **### How long does production of snapback caps take?** Standard production lead time is approximately 14 days after sample approval. Actual lead time depends on the product, quantity, customization and material availability, and the confirmed schedule is agreed for each order. Express shipping by DHL, FedEx or UPS then takes 3–6 working days.
