    Custom Melin hats in Austin

    Premium performance caps, decorated with your logo

    Austin Print Co decorates custom Melin hats — the hydrophobic, water-repellent, floatable caps built for people who actually wear their hat every day. We brand them with custom molded PVC patches on Melin blanks including the A-Game, Coronado, Odyssey, Trenches, and Hydro lines.

    Melin is a premium blank, so it lands best where the hat is the gift: client thank-yous, executive swag, golf outings, and retail-ready merch. 36-piece minimum, free digital proofs, local Austin pickup or nationwide shipping. Because every cap and patch is made to order, Melin runs take a few weeks — plan ahead for events and gifting deadlines. Request a quote and we'll mock your logo on the Melin style you pick.

    Style guide

    Pick the right Melin silhouette

    Here's how the most-ordered Melin models compare and where each one fits best.

    A-Game Hydro

    Best for: Golf outings, country clubs, executive gifts

    Performance 6-panel with a slight curve and laser-perforated panels. The most-requested Melin silhouette for corporate orders.

    Coronado

    Best for: Lifestyle brands, hospitality, coastal branding

    Relaxed low-profile fit with a curved brim — reads casual and premium at the same time.

    Odyssey

    Best for: Streetwear, teams, younger audiences

    Structured crown with a flatter brim for a bolder, modern look and a larger decoration area.

    Trenches

    Best for: Outdoor crews, event staff, everyday wear

    Lightweight and breathable with an athletic fit that holds up to Texas heat.

    Hydro (water-repellent)

    Best for: Boating, fishing, golf, outdoor events

    Hydrophobic treatment beads water off the crown; floats if it hits the water.

    Icon / Thermal variants

    Best for: Winter promos, ski trips, holiday gifting

    Warmer knit and thermal fabrications for cold-weather versions of the same branding.

    How we decorate Melin hats

    Custom molded PVC patches

    Full-color, weather-proof patches molded to your logo and applied to the front panel — the standard decoration on Melin blanks.

    Custom shapes & colorways

    Patches are built to your artwork's shape and color palette, then matched to the hat colorway on a free digital proof.

    Need stitching instead? Our Austin embroidery team can decorate other hat brands with direct embroidery.

    Melin fit & size guide

    Most Melin caps are fitted in size runs rather than one-size adjustable. Snapback styles are the exception.

    M/L7" – 7 3/8"Standard adult — the safest default
    L/XL7 1/4" – 7 5/8"Larger adult
    One-size snapbackAdjustableMixed groups and gifting

    Gifting a mixed group? Most teams weight the order toward M/L and add a smaller share of S/M and L/XL, or default to snapbacks.

    FAQs

    Melin FAQs

    What is the minimum order for custom Melin hats?

    The minimum order on custom Melin hats is 36 pieces. You can mix colorways within the same Melin model to reach the minimum, and per-piece pricing improves as the order grows.

    How long does it take to get custom Melin hats?

    Custom Melin hats take a few weeks. The patches and caps are made to order for your logo, so they aren't a rush item. Tell us your in-hands date when you request a quote and we'll confirm the schedule before you approve the proof.

    What decoration options work on Melin hats?

    Melin hats are decorated with molded PVC patches. They're full-color, weather-proof, and hold up to everyday wear on the Melin blanks.

    Which Melin styles can you decorate?

    We decorate the A-Game, Coronado, Odyssey, Trenches, and Hydro lines, including thermal and knit variants. If you have a specific Melin model in mind, ask and we'll source it.

    Are Melin hats really water-repellent?

    Yes. Melin's Hydro styles use hydrophobic treated fabric that beads water off the crown instead of soaking it in, and the caps are built to float. Decoration does not affect that performance.

    What sizes do Melin hats come in?

    Most Melin caps are fitted in S/M, M/L, and L/XL size runs rather than one-size adjustable. Snapback styles are adjustable, which makes them the easier pick for mixed groups and gifting.

    Do you provide a proof before production?

    Every order includes a free digital proof showing your logo, patch shape and colors, and the hat colorway before we produce anything.

    Do you ship custom Melin hats outside of Austin?

    Yes. We're based in Austin, TX and ship nationwide. Local Austin pickup and free local delivery are also available.
