Beechfield Caps & Snapbacks printed — club caps, festival crew and streetwear beanies

Beechfield profile — the cap and beanie brand

Beechfield belongs to the British Beechfield Group — the same group family as BagBase, Quadra and Westford Mill. Within the group, Beechfield is the cap and beanie speciality brand with over 200 models. HQ: Manchester, founded 1989. Material positioning: 100 % polyester or cotton-polyester mix for classic promo caps, plus a recycled-polyester line for sustainable applications.

In the European club and festival segment, Beechfield is the typical choice for sports clubs, festival crews, streetwear fashion labels and promo volume buyers. Four main models dominate 95 % of all orders: the B640 Snapback Trucker (classic trucker with mesh back), the B45 Beanie (standard winter beanie), the B15 5-Panel Cap (streetwear standard) and the CB60 Original Cuffed Beanie (lined winter beanie).

B640 Snapback Trucker — the festival crew classic

The B640 5-Panel Snapback Trucker is the most-ordered snapback cap in DACH. Classic trucker construction with five panels, front 100 %-polyester foam panel (perfect for embroidery) and mesh back panels (ventilation). Flat brim (typical streetwear snapback rather than curved baseball cap), adjustable snap closure on the back (fits head circumference 56–60 cm). 22 colour combinations — from solid black, via black-royal mesh to camo-print variants and hi-vis trucker.

Typical use case: festival crew (40–100 snapbacks per festival with embroidered crew logo), sports club with younger membership (skaters, BMX, ultimate frisbee — 30–60 pieces), streetwear fashion-label line (50–200 pieces), tech-conference casual crew pack (instead of a classic cap a snapback trucker).

Embroidery on B640

Standard embroidery position: front foam panel, max 8 × 5 cm (the foam panel is structurally the embroidery surface). At 5,000–8,000 stitches the detail reproduction is optimal. Larger embroidery (up to 12 × 6 cm) is possible, but the foam panel then bulges when worn. Pantone matching via Madeira thread. Premium variant: embroidery on foam panel plus embroidery on a side mesh panel (initials or mini-logo) — +€3.90 per piece.

B45 Beanie — the standard promo beanie

The B45 Original Cuffed Beanie is the most-ordered standard beanie in DACH. 100 % polyester, classic knit with double-folded cuff, one-size-fits-all (fits head circumference 54–62 cm). 18 colours — from black, navy and anthracite via classic club colours (royal, burgundy, bottle green) to heather finishes.

Typical use case: club winter pack (training beanie for the team, 30–100 pieces), festival crew winter edition (for winter-sport festivals and outdoor events), school winter AG (ski AG, hiking AG), corporate winter onboarding pack as employee gift.

Embroidery on B45

Standard position: front knit panel, max 7 × 4 cm. Because of the knit construction, embroidery works with a support fabric (tearaway stabiliser) so the knit is not distorted. Embroidery size up to 5,000–6,000 stitches optimal. For complicated logos, submit a direct vector file — logo digitisation takes longer for beanies than for caps because of the knit structure. Premium variant: wrapped patch embroidery (patch is embroidered separately and then sewn onto the beanie) — +€4.90 per piece.

B15 5-Panel Cap — the streetwear standard

The B15 Original 5-Panel Cap is the streetwear variant with classic 5-panel cut. 100 % cotton twill (not polyester like B640), curved brim (classic baseball cap), adjustable Velcro closure on the back. Six colours in streetwear finishes (black, navy, bottle green, heather grey, stone beige, burgundy).

Typical use case: streetwear fashion-label line (50–300 pieces, often with embroidered mini logo or tonal patch), skate-club crew (classic BMX/skate pack), premium tech crew casual wear, urban promo occasion (city marketing, urban event crew). Compared to the B640, the B15 is higher-quality in material (cotton twill instead of polyester foam) but fits the classic baseball-cap look rather than trucker style.

Embroidery on B15

Standard position: front panel above the brim insert, max 7 × 5 cm. On cotton twill embroidery is significantly easier than on B640 foam — no foam bulging, cleaner detail reproduction. Up to 8,000 stitches optimal. Premium streetwear variant: leather-patch embroidery (patch embroidered separately, then sewn onto cap) — +€5.90 per piece. Tonal embroidery (logo in the same colour as the cap) is the typical premium streetwear variant.

CB60 Original Cuffed Beanie — the lined winter beanie

The CB60 Original Cuffed Beanie is the lined winter variant of the B45. Outer 100 % polyester knit, inner polyester-fleece lining (significantly warmer than the B45 for cold-weather application), classic folded cuff. One-size-fits-all for head circumference 54–62 cm. 14 colours — standard club colours plus hi-vis variant (hi-vis yellow and hi-vis orange).

Typical use case: outdoor club winter pack (ski club, mountaineering club, forestry service — 30–80 pieces), construction crew winter pack as employee gift, winter festival crew, cold-weather outdoor crew (avalanche-safety team, ski patrol). Hi-vis variant is certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 1 for safety application.

Embroidery on CB60

Position and technique identical to B45 (front knit panel max 7 × 4 cm). Important: because of the fleece lining the embroidery needle goes through both layers — that is standard but affects embroidery pricing minimally (+€0.50 per piece versus unlined B45 beanie).

Volume-tier pricing for Beechfield caps and beanies

The volume staircase follows five bands — 25, 50, 100, 250, 500-plus pieces. The strongest discount breaks sit at 100 (–25 %) and 500 pieces (–38 %). The following prices are gross net including single-side embroidery (standard chest position 5,000–8,000 stitches), excluding VAT and shipping.

Second embroidery position +€3.90 per piece. Leather-patch embroidery (B15 premium) +€5.90 per piece. Club bulk orders above 500 pieces on request.

Use cases for Beechfield caps and beanies

Sports clubs — team cap pack and training beanie

Sports clubs typically order caps for the team (training beanie B45 plus summer training cap B640) plus beanies for cold-weather training. Typical order: 30 B45 beanies in club colour plus 30 B640 snapbacks for the summer season, with the embroidered club crest identical on both models. Setup saving: a single logo setup covers both models.

Festival crew — helpers and crew identification

Festival organisers use caps and beanies as crew identification. B640 Snapback Trucker is the standard for summer festivals (50–150 pieces with embroidered crew logo), CB60 Cuffed Beanie for winter festivals and winter-sport crews (40–100 pieces). Crew identification at distance works better with embroidered front than with print — embroidery does not reflect and stays readable in any lighting.

Streetwear fashion label — 5-panel line and snapback drop

Streetwear fashion labels use B15 5-Panel Cap as a streetwear line (embroidered mini logo plus leather-patch variant) and B640 Snapback Trucker for limited-edition drops. Quantities 50–300 pieces per drop, often tonal embroidery (logo in the same colour as the cap) for premium subtlety. Season-based drops with a 4–6-week re-order cycle.

Corporate winter onboarding

Corporate customers order CB60 Cuffed Beanie as a winter onboarding gift for new employees (30–100 pieces per quarter), often combined with the cloud-and-SaaS crew-wear pack as a winter extension of the standard onboarding pack.

School caps and class pack

School AGs (sports AG, hiking AG, ski AG) often order 30–50 B45 beanies or B640 snapbacks per AG with AG logo. Class pack for class trip: 30 B45 beanies in one club colour. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 compliance is important for school orders under the EU toy directive.

Frequently asked questions on Beechfield caps and snapback printing

Which Beechfield cap is right for our sports club?

For the team we recommend the standard cap pack: B45 Beanie in club colour for winter training, B640 Snapback in the same club colour for summer training. Both with identical embroidered club crest — one logo setup covers both. Quantities typically 30 pieces per model. For streetwear look or skate/BMX clubs switch to the B15 5-Panel Cap.

What is the difference between B640 and Flexfit/Yupoong?

B640 is Beechfield's classic trucker snapback (5 panels, mesh back, adjustable snap closure, 22 colour combos, standard polyester foam). Flexfit/Yupoong is the premium streetwear brand with curved bill and stretch-fit construction (adapts to head shape, no snap closure). Beechfield B640 economical for festival crew and club pack, Flexfit for premium streetwear drops.

How large can the embroidery on the B640 trucker panel be?

Standard embroidery size 8 × 5 cm on the front foam panel — the sweet spot for a club crest or crew logo. Up to 12 × 6 cm is possible, but the foam panel then bulges slightly when worn and the logo reads a little distorted. For very large logos we recommend switching to the B15 5-Panel Cap (cotton twill instead of foam — no bulging).

What does a B45 beanie with club logo cost at 50 pieces?

At 50 pieces including single-side embroidery (5,000–6,000 stitches, 7 × 4 cm chest position): €6.90 net per piece. Plus a one-off setup fee of €25 per logo. Total €370 net plus shipping for the 50 beanies. Lead time five to eight working days including finishing and DHL EU.

Can different colours be combined in a cap order?

Yes. The configurator grid allows free distribution across all 22 colour combinations per model. For the B640 e.g. 30× solid black plus 20× black-royal mesh plus ten hi-vis trucker. Total quantity counts for the volume tier — you keep the 50-piece discount even with a colour mix.

How long does embroidery on a beanie take compared to a cap?

Cap embroidery runs faster on firm material (4–6 minutes per cap on a four-head machine). Beanie embroidery needs support fabric (tearaway stabiliser) and is slightly slower (6–8 minutes per beanie). For 50-piece orders lead time identical at five to eight working days. For very large volume orders (500+ pieces) beanie embroidery may take one day longer.

Are Beechfield hi-vis caps really safety-certified?

The CB60 hi-vis yellow and hi-vis orange variants are certified to EN ISO 20471 Class 1. For higher classes (Class 2 for motorway construction, Class 3 for rail work) you need additional safety clothing (reflective vest or hi-vis jacket). The hi-vis beanie covers the head area, which is important in motorway and rail applications.

Can I have leather-patch embroidery on the B15?

Yes, that is the premium streetwear variant. The patch is embroidered separately (real leather or vegan apple/cork leather) and then sewn onto the cap. Surcharge €5.90 per piece. Very popular for streetwear fashion-label drops and premium tech crew packs. Leather patches last practically indefinitely (outlast the cap itself).

Is Beechfield worth it, or Flexfit for our streetwear line?

Depends on brand positioning. Beechfield is mass-market streetwear (B15 5-Panel, B640 Snapback Trucker) — economical for 50–300-piece drops. Flexfit/Yupoong is premium streetwear with stretch-fit construction — higher unit price, but higher streetwear image standing. For fashion-label premium drops Flexfit, for cost-driven drops Beechfield. Detail comparison in our Flexfit/Yupoong brand hub.
