In 2B customization scenarios such as team equipment customization, outdoor brand promotion, corporate welfare procurement, and supermarket gift customization, custom baseball caps have long gone beyond the mere decorative attribute and become a core carrier with both sun protection function and brand communication value. A well-designed and high-quality custom baseball cap with excellent sun protection performance can not only provide reliable UV protection for users but also realize scenario-based exposure through the brand logo on the cap.
Guangdong Gahumi Textile Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as Gahumi) has been deeply engaged in textile customization for 31 years, accurately grasping the sun protection design logic of custom baseball caps, and has formed a mature plan from structure optimization, material selection to process upgrading, becoming the first choice OEM partner for many outdoor brands, teams and enterprises.
The sun protection design of custom baseball caps focuses on achieving the "balance between protection area and wearing experience". Many customizers fall into the misunderstanding that "the longer the brim, the better the sun protection effect", but ignore the problems such as blocked vision and excessive head load caused by too long brims. When receiving requirements, Gahumi's design team will first clarify the sun protection needs of the usage scenario: for team custom baseball caps in outdoor events, it is necessary to focus on protecting the face and back of the neck, while ensuring a wide field of vision during sports; for gift custom caps in scenic spots and supermarkets, it is necessary to balance the portability of daily commuting and the comfort of long-term wearing. The customization plan based on scenario research can make the sun protection design more in line with actual usage needs.
The scientific design of the brim is the key core of the sun protection function. Gahumi breaks the traditional fixed-size design and establishes a "scenario-based brim parameter system": for high-intensity outdoor scenarios (such as football matches, mountaineering activities), a 10-12cm extended curved brim is adopted, and the front end of the brim is slightly tilted up by 15°, which not only expands the facial sun protection area to below the cheekbones but also avoids blocking the front vision; for daily commuting and gift scenarios, a 7-9cm standard curved brim is adopted, matched with a 3cm widened crown side to achieve double protection for the face and ears. The inside of the brim adopts a "double-layer shaping process", using high-toughness PP material as the inner skeleton, and the outer layer is attached to the fabric. After high-temperature shaping treatment, it can withstand repeated folding and still maintain the sun protection curve, solving the problem that the brim of traditional baseball caps is easily deformed, leading to reduced sun protection effect.
Accurate material selection lays a solid foundation for sun protection performance. Gahumi's raw material center has established an exclusive fabric library for sun protection needs: mainly recommends UPF50+ sun protection fabric, which has been treated with special technology, with a UV blocking rate of more than 98%, and has good air permeability to avoid stuffiness when worn in summer; for high-end brand customization needs, it provides blended fabric of cotton and sun protection fiber, which not only retains the skin-friendly texture of cotton but also improves the protection performance through sun protection fiber; the inner side of the cap body adopts sweat-absorbing and breathable mesh cloth to enhance sweat evaporation efficiency and improve long-term wearing comfort. All sun protection fabrics have passed third-party authoritative testing and can provide UPF sun protection level test reports to meet the quality endorsement needs of brand owners.
The integration of refined craftsmanship and brand communication maximizes the customization value. Gahumi's fully automatic printing center is equipped with various processes such as embroidery, heat transfer printing and digital printing, which can accurately present brand logos, team logos or promotional slogans on the cap body and the side of the brim. According to the characteristics of sun protection fabrics, environmentally friendly sun protection ink is used to ensure that the printed pattern is not easy to fade under UV irradiation, and does not affect the sun protection performance of the fabric. In terms of detail processing, the cap strap adopts an adjustable Velcro design to adapt to different head circumference sizes; the edge of the brim adopts a binding process to avoid fraying; the hang tag can be customized with brand information and sun protection level instructions to enhance product added value. In a customization project for a European outdoor brand, the custom sunscreen baseball cap created by Gahumi, through the design of 10cm extended brim + brand embroidery on the cap body, not only became the brand's key summer product but also was selected as the designated equipment for a mountaineering event, with a bulk order of 200,000 pieces.

The 3 production bases with a total area of 5,000 square meters are equipped with exclusive baseball cap production lines, realizing integrated operations from fabric cutting, brim shaping to printing and sewing; among more than 300 professional employees, there are 15 technical personnel with cap customization experience, who accurately control every process detail.
