10 10 Hats at Printing United Orlando
10 10 Hats Steal the Show at PRINTING United in Orlando, Florida
If you walked the floor at PRINTING United Expo in Orlando, Florida, there was one hat that everyone was talking about — 10 10 Hats. Known for performance-built outdoor headwear, the brand made waves this year as the go-to blank for printing and embroidery demos across the show floor.
The Most Talked-About Hat in the Printing Industry
From embroidery machines to heat press systems, decorators across the show were using 10 10 Hats’ performance blanks to demonstrate precision stitching, patch placement, and logo application. The sleek 5-panel rope hats — in white and black — became the unofficial sample standard for decorators testing out new technology.
Most notably, Stahls’ (stahls.com) showcased 10 10 Hats on their high-end heat press systems, showing how perfectly these structured performance blanks accept vinyl transfers, patches, and heat-applied logos without scorching or warping. Meanwhile, at the HSI / Tajima (hsi.us/tajima) booth, the same black and white 5-panel rope hats were used to run live Tajima embroidery machine demos — proving just how cleanly these hats hoop, stitch, and hold shape.
Built for Print Shops, Embroidery Pros, and Apparel Decorators
Every detail of a 10 10 Hat is designed for customization. The moisture-wicking performance fabric, structured crown, and flat, firm front panel make it ideal for embroidery, screen printing, patch application, sublimation transfers, and DTF printing. Even the rope detailing along the bill gives it a premium, retail-ready look that decorators love.
When you’re running live embroidery or heat-press demonstrations, not every hat can handle the heat, tension, and alignment precision these processes demand — but 10 10 Hats handled it all flawlessly. Attendees left the booths impressed not only by the machines but by how sharp and professional the 10 10 Hats samples looked after printing.
Why Everyone’s Talking About 10 10 Hats
The 10 10 Hats Gulf-Coast performance line is engineered for decorators and outdoor brands alike — breathable, waterproof, lightweight, and structured for crisp decoration. They’re the perfect blank canvas for embroidery shops, print shops, promotional product companies, golf course merchandisers, and event outfitters.

-

-

The Takeaway
Whether you were standing at the Stahls’ booth watching logo patches come to life or at the Tajima demo watching crisp satin stitching on black rope hats, one thing was clear — 10 10 Hats are redefining what decorators expect from a premium blank.
As one exhibitor put it:
“They’re the best-built hat for printing and embroidery — period. Perfect structure, perfect material, perfect finish.”
