K-up, the customisable caps

A blank cap to outfit an entire group

As the new school year begins, clubs, schools, and associations are looking for a simple and durable rallying sign. K-up, a specialist in customizable headwear, offers blank caps with no visible brand logos, allowing full display for the group's crest or design. Their range covers various uses: lightweight sports caps for tournaments and outings, cotton styles with a vintage look, chef's caps for catering, and children's sizes for leisure centres and school trips. The same model available in multiple colours also helps to differentiate between leaders and participants.

Other brands to customise

Customisable textiles are available by brand:

• Kariban, polos and sweats.
• Sol's, t-shirts and sweats.
• Proact, sports textiles.
• Result, outdoor jackets.
• Kimood, bags and accessories.
• Yoko, high visibility.

All brands are gathered on the customisable textiles and accessories page.

Five panel, six panel or trucker

The six-panel cap, sewn in the middle of the front, maintains a rounded and classic shape: an embroidered logo stays modestly sized to avoid overlapping the central seam. The five-panel cap features a one-piece front, ideal for a large and well-centred logo. The trucker combines a solid front panel with a mesh back that ventilates the head in hot weather. The visor can be chosen curved for a sporty style or flat for an urban vibe; the back closure, either snap, metal buckle, or hook and loop, adjusts the cap to fit every head size.

Organic cotton or recycled polyester: the materials

The K-up caps come in various materials. The thick, brushed twill cotton provides a soft feel and highlights embroidery. Certified OCS organic cotton and certified GRS recycled polyester cater to clubs and establishments mindful of their order's impact; the lighter polyester dries quickly and is suitable for running or tournament caps in full sun. The mesh beanie and cotton bucket hat complete the range: the former for winter training on the sidelines, the latter to also protect the neck and ears during summer outings.

Good deals

Good bargains can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and dispatched within 24 hours. Major events of the year follow a stable order: the Black Friday at the end of autumn, the holiday season, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and the new school year.

Frequently asked questions

Embroidery or printing: which marking to choose?

Embroidery offers a raised, premium finish that withstands washing very well: it's the classic choice for a cap or beanie. Printing or transfer reproduces highly detailed visuals, gradients, and photos better.

How to wash an embroidered cap?

Wash it by hand in warm water with a mild soap, gently brushing the embroidery without rubbing hard. Let it air dry on a round form, never in the tumble dryer, to maintain the shape of the visor.

What cap size for a child?

A children's cap fits a head circumference of about fifty-two to fifty-four centimetres, compared to fifty-six to fifty-nine for an adult. It fits better than an adult cap tightened to the maximum, where the visor seems too large.

Where to place a logo on a beanie?

The logo is most often embroidered on the front, at the centre of the turned-up cuff, where it remains visible. On a beanie without a cuff, place it a little above the border so it doesn't disappear when the beanie fully covers the ears.

What is a snapback cap?

The snapback closes at the back with a plastic band with snap buttons, adjustable in seconds. Often associated with a flat visor and a tall front, it provides a large surface for well-visible embroidery.
