CUSTOM HATS · CHINA FACTORY
Custom Promotional Hats with QR Code Artwork
A QR-led hat project needs the code treated as functional artwork as well as a visual element. We manufacture custom headwear in China from your requirements and files. Bring the destination you control, the approved code artwork and the selected cap, and we can review a sample-focused development brief.

Keep the Destination and Artwork Controlled
Use a destination your project controls and provide the exact approved code file. Identify the version and the team responsible for it. A visually similar graphic is not a substitute for that source, especially when the campaign destination or artwork changes during development.

Choose a Defined Decoration Surface
Mark the intended code position and dimensions on the hat view. Seams, curvature and surface texture belong in the review. We can discuss the selected cap and method together, keeping the complete physical result separate from the appearance of the flat digital file.

Keep Contrast and Clear Space in the Brief
Identify the appearance your approved artwork needs to retain, including the surrounding clear area. Review colour and background choices with the actual decoration method. Avoid relying on a concept image to decide that the finished curved product will scan as intended.
05 / 10
Compare Decoration Routes on the Actual Product
A patch, print or other proposed treatment can change the physical result. Discuss the route you want reviewed and keep the material and cap construction fixed during comparison. The useful next step is a sample with the intended artwork, rather than a general promise about all QR decorations.

Agree a Physical Scan-Check Plan
Define the conditions your campaign team needs to review, including the relevant devices, viewing arrangement and final presentation. Record the result on the actual decorated sample. Keep that decision separate from the artwork proof; no scan test is claimed here for an unmade custom product.
| Review stage | Check | Record |
|---|---|---|
| Source artwork | Correct code and destination | Approved file version |
| Decorated sample | Actual scan behaviour under agreed conditions | Specific sample result |
| Campaign approval | Product and destination together | Accepted complete version |

Treat Code Changes as New Approval Items
A destination or code-file change can affect the product approval record. Name the new version and identify the sample checks that need repeating. Keep the shared logo and other artwork separate so an updated code does not quietly replace unrelated approved details.
- 01Control the approved file
- 02Review the decorated sample
- 03Record the scan-check result
- 04Reassess changes explicitly

Keep the Hat Useful as Merchandise
The campaign function still belongs on a hat your audience may want to wear. Review silhouette, fit, material and branding with the QR placement. A clear product brief helps balance the functional artwork with the overall promotional design.

Include Testing and Presentation in the Scope
Share quantities by version, the destination and campaign milestone. Include sample checks, labels and packing requirements in the quotation discussion. Minimum quantities, charges and timing are reviewed for the actual project, including the physical approval work required for the code artwork.
