How To NOT Screw Up Your Beanie Design
By: Melody D Posted on: Dec 1, 2023You know when some days what you wear simply looks dull no matter how you look at it. In those times of sadness, beanies often save the day. They are undoubtedly the best headwear to liven up any outfit during cold seasons.
With winter just around the corner, you might be wondering about getting creatively customized winter beanies for resale. The cost is low but the profit margin is high after all. But customization is where things get tricky. Making blank beanies unique with cool designs may sound easy. But only if you know what you are doing.
Here are a few tips to not screw up your beanie design.
Know who you are selling them to

The idea shouldn’t be just about purchasing wholesale beanies at the lowest price, adding random customizations on them, and selling them at a higher margin. The idea is to customize them to make them worthy for the right audience to buy.
For instance, you can’t sell a beanie with salty humor embossed on it to people over 50 years of age. That kind of design appeals more to a young audience. If you want to sell beanies to a more mature audience, you need designs that will strike a chord with that audience.
Never ‘give it a shot’ if you are new to customizing

If you are not very sure of the tricks of the trade when it comes to customizing headwear, don’t try. Especially if you’ve already invested in wholesale beanies. Simple embroidery on a couple of beanies is manageable. But embroidering or printing beanies in bulk is a different story, as consistency is at stake. It’s easier to get customization done by an on-demand printing business.
Know how to save more
As long as you get fine beanies wholesale for the right price from a trusted source, all you need to do is customize and sell them. Buyers often overlook the opportunities to rack up some savings along the way.
Take the wholesale source for instance. The industry is big and competitive. So wholesalers who rely on competitive advantages to stay on top of their game are around. Finding such wholesalers is the hard part. Such wholesalers offer great products at great prices, often cutting down a portion of their own profits in the process to stay ahead of their peers.
For maximum savings, you can source blank beanies from such wholesalers. At CapBargain, you get to purchase headwear from OTTO Hats - a brand that’s regarded as the largest source of quality headwear in the USA, at the lowest prices in the market. Additionally, larger orders also get bulk discounts.
CapBargain also offers superior customization services, featuring a built-in, free Custom Design Creator tool (make sure to check that out) that lets you create your own design from over 10,000+ free cliparts in our design library. If you already have your design, you can upload that into the tool and place your customization order. This bulk customization option also removes setup charges for customization, netting more savings in the process. Setup charges are what customization and printing services charge for converting a design file into a format the printing machine understands.
Many wholesalers offer free shipping or are willing to forego shipping charges for bulk customization orders, giving you even more savings.
Know what to put on your beanies

Reliable customization services can put anything on a beanie, either embroidered or printed, and anywhere you want it. Ideally, the designs should go on the front of the beanie for maximum visibility. But if you have a specific idea in mind, you can also have it printed or embroidered on the side. The canvas is not very big, so you need to finalize what you want on the beanie, be it a logo or a message or a simple artwork.
Equally important is the color of the beanie. If the color of the logo or design doesn’t fit with the color of the beanie, you’ll end up with a product that may not sell like you intended.
Consider who is going to use the beanie, the season and where they are likely to wear it. To get the best embroidery beanies, you should also figure which embroidery works best for the design you have in mind - a patch, a sewn design or a puff embroidery.
Hopefully these few tips will make it easier for you to get custom beanies the way you want without costs over cost and costlier mistakes.
