Planning your caps order for Sharq
A caps order for Sharq should be planned backwards from the selling season. Summers are extremely hot, so breathable fabrics lead for much of the year. Demand peaks before Ramadan, Eid, National Day (25 February) and back-to-school. 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 5–10 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of caps in Sharq include promotional-merchandise companies, sports and event organisers, school and uniform suppliers and retail chains and wholesalers. In Sharq, 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.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Sharq
Sharq is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of caps towards the lighter end of the range: Cotton twill 240–280 GSM or polyester micro-twill and mesh. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.
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.
Caps made in bulk to your colour, size and design
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 Sharq 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.
- Colour: Over 30 stock colours; contrast peaks, panels and under-peak colours.
- Size: Adjustable with strap, snap or buckle closures; fitted sizes S–XL; kids' sizes.
