Print anything
Custom UV hat patches built for full-color artwork.
UV printing gives detailed artwork room to work. Gradients, photographs, small lettering, and unlimited colors print with crisp definition, making these custom UV hat patches ideal for logos and designs that lose too much detail in embroidery or engraving.
Print full photographs, complex logos, and fine linework without simplifying your artwork.
No per-color charges and no color counts. Gradients and blends print exactly as designed.
UV-cured ink resists sun, rain, and wear without losing color intensity.

Compare
UV printed hat patches vs. embroidered patches.
