Caps Supplier & Exporter in Navan, Ireland

Navan is a port city where cargo from India arrives directly. Malls, chains and independent shops in Navan restock with imported fashion basics. Traders in Navan buy garments by the carton and the container for resale across the region.

Caps are cheap to ship and easy to brand, so they feature in promotional orders, school and event wear, and retail accessory ranges. In Navan that demand comes mainly from retail chains & stores and wholesale & trading houses.

Retailers in Navan restock shirts, T-shirts, jeans, kidswear and seasonal fashion every few weeks, and want private-label labelling, hang tags and barcodes applied at source so garments go straight onto the shop floor.

Wholesalers in Navan buy garments by the carton and the container, favouring fast-moving sizes and colours of T-shirts, jeans, leggings and kidswear. Mixed-style containers let them test new lines without carrying a large stock of any one design.

Navan is served through Dublin; its strongest garment sectors are retail chains & stores and wholesale & trading houses.

Jeans: Denim is the garment that sells in every market: jeans are bought for every season, and retailers and wholesalers reorder washes and fits as sizes sell through. Many Navan buyers add it to the same container.

T-Shirts: T-shirts are the highest-volume garment: bought as retail basics, promotional merchandise and event wear, in plain and printed styles. Many Navan buyers add it to the same container.

Leggings: Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly. Many Navan buyers add it to the same container.

Kidswear: Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks. Many Navan buyers add it to the same container.

Timing decides whether caps sell at full price or at a discount in Navan. Mild, wet weather all year, so layers and fleece sell broadly; peaks include back-to-school in August, Black Friday and Christmas. For caps specifically, caps sell strongly in summer, at sports events and in promotional campaigns; winter beanies are ordered by July for the northern autumn. Our lead time is 25–40 days, plus sea transit of about 20–30 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of caps in Navan include promotional-merchandise companies, sports and event organisers, school and uniform suppliers and retail chains and wholesalers. In Navan, they usually order 1,000–3,000 pieces per design; 500 pieces for stock colours with simple embroidery and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Ireland has distinct seasons, so we split caps into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as cotton twill 240–280 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as acrylic knit for beanies for autumn and winter.

Sizes: Adjustable with strap, snap or buckle closures; fitted sizes S–XL; kids' sizes. Colours: Over 30 stock colours; contrast peaks, panels and under-peak colours.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make caps in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Navan market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

The details that separate a good cap from a poor one are crown shape, peak stiffness and embroidery density. We check all three on the first sample, and we pack caps stacked in boxes to protect their shape in transit.

Caps are also an easy add-on to a mixed container of T-shirts, polos and hoodies, giving a buyer a branded accessory range for very little extra freight.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Dublin, about 20–30 days. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Navan; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Stacked in polybags of 10 or 20 and packed 100–200 per carton to protect crown shape. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Spot clean or hand wash; air dry on a form to keep the shape.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
