Why CZEVIP
How we are different from other USA hat manufacturers
- Truly low MOQ. 50 units per style for capsule runs - not 1000 or 5000 like most US-based hat factories.
- Hand embroidery, not heat-transfer. Every cap is embroidered with a programmable 12-needle machine, not printed, so logos hold up to washing for the life of the hat.
- BSCI and Sedex-audited workshops. Every partner facility is audited annually. Compliance documentation is provided per order.
- Design-to-ship in one team. Pattern, embroidery programming, sampling, and quality control all happen in the Brooklyn office. You talk to one team, not three.
- Honest lead times. 30-45 days from sample approval, not "around 90 days" with surprises.
- DTC-friendly packaging. We pack poly-bagged, bar-coded, and Amazon FBA-ready by default.
