What prints well

Short version: solid-color blanks with a small logo look like everyone else’s. Full-color art on white (or edge-to-edge) stands out.

Not this

Not good

Solid black / red / lime blanks with a small team logo — everyone sells that.

Not good: black, red, and lime swim caps with small team logos

Black, red, and green solid blanks = skip. Small centered logos disappear in the water.

Yes this

Good

Full-color art on a white (or art-covered) cap — events, parties, custom graphics.

Good: white-base illustrated swim caps with colorful art

White base + bold illustrated art. Full-bleed designs work the same way.

More good examples

Full-bleed graphics and white-base illustrated art — this is what we print best.

Good: full-bleed circuit, watercolor, aurora, and comic swim cap designs

Full-bleed art

Edge-to-edge color — circuit, watercolor, aurora, comic. No blank colored silicone showing.

Good: white Thunder Strike Aquatics team cap

White-base team look

Team logos still work — put them on white (or cover the cap with art), not on black/red/lime blanks.
