For new labels, small teams & first orders

About Caps Mill

Small-batch custom caps, without the guesswork.

Caps Mill is a custom headwear website operated by Baoding Brim Apparel Co., Ltd. in Baoding, China. We help new labels, teams and small businesses work out a sensible first order without starting with thousands of caps.

Selected styles may start around 50 pieces per style and color, subject to specifications.

Who this is for

You can start with a logo and a reference cap.

You might already know the exact style you want. Or you may be choosing between a trucker cap, a classic baseball cap and something with a different brim or finish.

Send us what you have — a photo, artwork, a color idea and an approximate quantity. We’ll explain which decisions affect the sample and the quotation, without asking you to prepare a full technical pack first.

Before you place a bigger order

Clear quantities, realistic sample times.

For a new cap design, the useful first question is not only “how much?” It is also whether the style, logo and quantity work together. We review these details before giving you an estimated schedule.

From 50 pcs

Selected small-batch options

Some styles can start around 50 pieces per style and color. The actual minimum depends on fabrics, decoration and variation.

7–15 days

Typical sample development window

Straightforward designs can be sampled in around 7 days; more involved designs commonly take up to about 15 days after details are agreed.

5–7 days

Estimated express shipping

Once the sample is dispatched, international express delivery often takes about 5–7 days. Destination and customs may change the timing.

These are working estimates, not guaranteed lead times. Sample production begins once the required design details and materials are confirmed. Express transit begins after the parcel is handed to the courier. Bulk production is quoted separately.

Reviewing the real sample

What a photo cannot tell you.

A mockup can show the intended logo placement. The physical sample lets you check the cap’s shape, embroidery, finish and overall feel before approving a production order.

Once you are happy with the sample, we can discuss a small production run and what would need to change for a repeat order. If you are unsure how sampling costs work, our sample-fee guide covers the questions worth asking.

A real headwear business

Who is behind Caps Mill?
