02 — Manifesto

We analyze it like an editorial team would. We don't sell it.

In the baseball cap segment, the Bond-S is the technical, outdoor-oriented model: 6 structured panels, curved visor and hook-and-loop closure. The stretch twill in 97% recycled polyester and 3% elastane, GRS-certified, is water-resistant without PFC, with bonded taped seams that seal the joins, UPF 50+ sun protection and a Dry-Tech sweatband; the ReTraze® inner visor completes the sustainable profile, with a declared carbon footprint of -20% CO2eq versus the category reference.

The combination of PFC-free waterproof treatment, taped seams and UPF 50+ has a direct consequence for use: unlike a standard promotional baseball, the Bond-S is designed to resist water and sun, so it is suited to outdoor activities in variable conditions. On personalisation there is a specific strength: the front transfer area is wide (14×6 cm), the largest of the techniques, and allows large full-front logos; front embroidery stays at 12×6 cm and should be measured so as not to over-perforate the treated fabric.

It is the right choice for those seeking a technical, water-resistant and sun-protective baseball, ideal for outdoor use and full-front transfer prints. It is not the right product for those seeking a cheap cotton promotional baseball or a wide colour range: here the variants are three and the positioning is technical.

Printing techniques.
A verdict for each one.

What to expect on this specific product, technique by technique. Tap a technique for the full analysis.

01
Embroidery· Eccellente
84%
The structured front supports full-front embroidery with a 12×6 cm area, starting 2 cm from the visor. Embroidery also on the sides 10×6 cm and on the back 8×3.5 cm; on the hook-and-loop closure a small embroidery (3×1 cm) is advised, so as not to compromise the velcro function. On the waterproof-treated fabric, embroidery should be measured so as not to over-perforate the membrane: prefer moderate stitch densities.
Max area 12x6
02
DTF — Direct to Film· Eccellente
82%
DTF transfer is the strength technique for large artwork on this model: the front transfer area is wide (14×6 cm), the largest, and allows full-front logos. Also applicable on the sides and back. Unlimited colours, no minimum quantity, ideal for multicolour and detailed logos. On the treated fabric, test adhesion and use a dedicated press at controlled temperature.
Max area 14x6
03
Patch — Woven / PVC / Faux leather· Eccellente
80%
Read the technical analysis
The structured front is a good surface for applying patches, by heat-sealing or stitching. Heat-sealing is consistent with the cap's bonded taped-seam construction and better preserves water resistance. Suited to the front and sides, with embroidered, woven or rubber patches. Avoid patches over the velcro.
04
Sublimation· Molto buono
72%
Read the technical analysis
The recycled polyester twill takes sublimation, binding the dyes into the fibre for a permanent result and unlimited colours. The usable area is limited to the single panel due to the seams. Ideal on light grounds, in particular the White variant; on dark grounds (Black, Navy) the result is limited by the nature of the process.
Max area 6x5
05
Screen printing· Buono
68%
Read the technical analysis
Screen printing is intended within the single panel (side or front 6×5 cm). The stretch, treated fabric requires care: elastic and blocking-base inks are preferable to avoid cracking and migration. On waterproof surfaces, adhesion should be tested. Good results on compact logos; for large full-front artwork transfer is preferable.
Max area 6x5Max colors 4
06
DTG — Direct to Garment· Non compatibile
0%
Read the technical analysis
DTG direct printing is optimised for cotton and gives poor results on polyester, and cannot lay flat the cap's three-dimensional shape. On the waterproof-treated fabric, adhesion would also be problematic. For unlimited-colour printing on this model use DTF transfer, which here has a wide 14×6 cm front area.
