Two Distinct Styles: Camper vs. A-Frame
“5 Panel” can mean two very different things in the headwear industry. We manufacture and wholesale both major silhouettes to ensure you get the exact fit your market demands.
Camper (Jet Cap)
ow Profile & Unstructured. The classic skate style. Features a horizontal front panel, two side panels, and two top panels. It fits tight to the head and usually comes with a clip closure. Best for streetwear and outdoor brands.
A-Frame (Pinch Front)
High Profile & Structured. The modern trucker style. Features a single vertical front panel that is “pinched” at the top. It stands tall and boxy. Best for sports, golf, and bold logo embroidery.
Flat Bill Construction
Both styles typically feature a flat visor. Our wholesale blanks come with a rigid, square-off brim that holds its shape but can be curved by the end customer if desired.
Seamless Front Canvas
The common advantage of both styles is the lack of a center seam on the forehead. This provides an uninterrupted surface, making them the best hats for screen printing and large patches.
Premium Blank 5 Panel Hats for Decorators
We provide professional shipping services. Direct shipping to US market. Support multiple shipping methods. Handle customs paperwork. Provide shipping tracking. Ensures safe and timely arrival.
Tear-Away Tags
All our stock blanks come with tear-away labels. You can rip out our factory tag and sew in your own private label in seconds, creating a custom-branded product.
Printer-Friendly Fabrics
We use fabrics with tight weaves and smooth finishes. Whether it’s foam, cotton, or nylon, our surfaces are optimized to hold ink and heat transfers without bleeding or cracking.
Consistent Sizing
We maintain strict tolerance controls. Every hat in the box fits the same. This consistency is crucial for retailers who need to assure their customers of a reliable fit.

You don’t have to buy 100 of the same color. We allow you to mix colors within a case (e.g., 50 Black, 50Navy) to help you test the market with variety.

Yes! That is their main advantage. The seamless front panel is the perfect surface for screen printing, heat transfers, and large patches because there is no seam to interrupt the design.
A 6-Panel has a center seam running down the front. A 5-Panel removes this seam, creating a smooth front. 5-Panels are generally boxier and more modern, while 6-Panels are rounder and traditional.
