Live hat customization and hat bar

Guests add their initials or name to a cap, and we embroider it on-site while they enjoy the event.

How a hat bar works

We set up embroidery machines with a wall of caps, visors or toques. Guests choose a hat and add initials, a name or a phrase from an approved list, and we stitch it on-site. At a professional golf tournament near Toronto, guests ordered at two kiosks and received text updates as their hats moved through production, so they could keep watching the golf.

How booking works

    We personalize it live

    Our team sets up, makes each piece on-site and hands it over at a clear pickup point, with pickup texts if your event uses them.

Questions

Which hats can you personalize?

Our past hat bars have covered structured and denim caps, visors and knit toques. Caps and toques have different stitching areas, so we match the hats to the design menu before the event.

What can guests add to a hat?

Initials, names, nicknames, a short phrase from an approved list, or letter patches applied with a cap press. We agree on the menu with you in advance.

How many guests can take part?

That depends on the product, the design, the number of machines and the event hours. Your quote states the planned number of personalized items for the setup we agree on.

How do guests order and pick up?

For suitable events we can add ordering kiosks, QR ordering from guests’ phones and automatic texts that tell each guest when their item is ready, so nobody has to wait in line.

What do you need from the venue?

We review working space, power, load-in, guest circulation and a collection area with your venue before the event, so the station fits the space.

Do you work outside Toronto?

Yes. We are based in Toronto and work across the GTA, including Mississauga, Vaughan and Markham. We also travel to events across Canada and the United States, with past activations in cities such as Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Charlotte, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles.

Does a quote request reserve our date?

No. We first check the date, the products and the venue requirements, then explain what is needed to confirm the booking.
