      <title><![CDATA[Best Branded Summer Hats for Australians]]></title>
      <link>https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/blog/best-branded-summer-hats/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<h2>Straw Hats, Bucket Hats, Visors Hats</h2>
<p>One of the most beloved yet excruciating seasons is summer. With the glorious sun out to play, it is often easy for people of all ages to suffer from sunburn and an unbearable amount of heat. Since everyone has a unique sense of style, it only makes sense to stock up on branded unique hats. At Cubic Promote, we offer a variety including visors, bucket hats, as well as straw hats.</p>
<h2>Promotional Straw Hats</h2>
<p><img title="Promotional Straw Hats" alt="Promotional Straw Hats" src="https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/media/wysiwyg/Promotional_Straw_Hat.jpg" height="166" width="222" /></p>
<p>A straw hat is a stylized (breamed) hat usually woven from straw. These breamed creations can be expensive especially when bought for promotional purposes. In such cases, you can always opt for the much affordable synthetic or plant material that is designed to mirror straw.</p>
<h3>Personalised Bucket Hats</h3>
<p><img title="Promotional Bucket Hats" alt="Promotional Bucket Hats" src="https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/media/wysiwyg/Promotional_Bucket_Hat.jpg" height="166" width="222" /></p>
<p>Present day Australian preschoolers, as well as primary and high school students find that a hat is part of their uniform. Bucket hats are the most popular and mainstream hats that can be bought and personalized with a school logo to promote uniformity. Cubic Promote offers a wide range covering sports to safaris and made out of different materials.</p>
<h3>Branded Sports Visors</h3>
<p><img title="Promotional Visors" alt="Promotional Visors" src="https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/media/wysiwyg/Promotional_Visor.jpg" height="166" width="222" /></p>
<p>The current group of &lsquo;cool kids&rsquo; do not subscribe to the norm of the standard sun hats. In many occasions, traditional hats are overlooked and left in preference for seemingly unconventional headwear. Visors are the number one choice. This piece of headgear features a front peak that can be used as a shield from the sun. The pic is attached to a padded headband that is circular. Visors are usually very affordable and made up of less material compared to traditional hats. We offer variety made out of different material and in different shades.</p>
<h3>Headwear for the Aussie Summer</h3>
<p>Headwear is something that most people take as an accessory. To make them more effective, hats must be stylish and desirable. At Cubic Promote we understand the concept and we are always ready to customize your order and give you advice based on your brief.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Promotional Caps for School and Play]]></title>
      <link>https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/blog/kids-customised-hats-fast-turnaround/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the developed world. Everyone knows that exposure to sunlight is a huge risk factor in developing skin cancer, but fewer people know that exposure to sunlight in early life represents a much greater risk than later life exposure. Australian schools provide shaded play facilities, but this is only part of the battle.</p>
<h2>Sun Safety for Children</h2>
<p>For this reason, an increasing number of schools, childcare centres, afterschool sporting and activity groups and preschools are adding full-brimmed sun-hats to their official uniforms. Not only do these hats help protect children, but they also look smart and encourage recognition and awareness of schools and other. Customised hats marked with a school crest, team logo or after-school group logo have the effect of encouraging students to think about themselves as members of a group, promoting teamwork and group cohesion.</p>
<h3>Keeping Safe, Looking Cool</h3>
<p>Cloth hats with a broad brim are highly regarded in educational settings. Shady in summer and warm in winter, they can be folded and carried in a schoolbag when not in use. Hats with under-chin straps also have the advantage of being difficult to lose. Hats like this have plenty of space to have a school crest emblazoned on them -- and they can easily have their owner's name written in a discrete location with a laundry marker.</p>
<p>But these are just one possibility. Anything with a broad brim to keep the sun off the face and neck is suitable for general use in schools. Some kids sporting activities might require more specialised caps or hats.</p>
<h2>Low Prices</h2>
<p>A big concern with school hats is the budget. After all, kids are not cheap to raise! A quality adult hat might last for years, but growing kids will go through hats much more quickly. There are several ways to keep costs low &ndash; consider budget caps, limiting printing to a single colour, and ordering in bulk to keep prices low.</p>
<h3>Safety Note</h3>
<p>An important note &ndash; even in this day and age, schools and other kids' groups can be vulnerable to head lice outbreaks. For this reason, it is recommended that schoolchildren should not swap or share hats or caps. Caps and hats alone will not protect children from skin cancer but should be used as part of a general sun-safety regimen including covering up, wearing sunscreen and using sunglasses.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Why Choose Promotional Hats?]]></title>
      <link>https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/blog/promotional-hats-bulk-online/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>A great advantage of using custom branded items as part of your promotion is that they can be tailored and targeted at a specific audience. For example, a golf course might hand out printed golf balls&nbsp;ensuring that the advertising budget is not being wasted getting a message to non-golfers.&nbsp;The flipside of this precision is that sometimes your message becomes too tightly targeted, and people with a peripheral interest in your organisation or product might miss your message.</p>
<p>Branded hats are a great way to bridge that gap. By selecting a style of hat to appeal to your primary market, you ensure that your clients and customers will be wearing your message and taking it to your secondary market wherever they go. To continue the golf course example, the golf balls will be seen mostly by regular golfers, but branded golf hats will be seen by regular golfers, casual golfers as well as people who may not yet be golfers but who have been considering taking it up.</p>
<h2>As a Giveaway</h2>
<p>There is an extremely wide range of customisable caps and hats available, so it is easy to find some inexpensive enough to fit your budget as giveaway items. Whether handing them out for free&nbsp;or including them as a premium in purchases of a certain value, there's nothing that makes a customer feel valued as a quality hat.</p>
<h2>For Sales</h2>
<p>A way to offset the cost of promotional caps -- or even to turn a profit from them -- is to sell them. Charities, in particular, can benefit from selling branded caps at a markup. This advertises your charity, allows your donors to publicly display their support for the work you do and spreads the word about your organisation.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Clubs, teams, community groups and societies will also find that many members are willing to pay for promotional hats either at cost or a small markup.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[High Visibility Caps]]></title>
      <link>https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/blog/high-vis-caps-fast/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In the course of the last twenty years, there's been a revolution in safety. Risks that were once considered acceptable parts of daily work life have been abandoned in the name of safety. Some of the methods used to create safer work environments have attracted controversy or criticism. But there's one simple, inexpensive way of reducing the risk&nbsp;of injury that has been almost universally praised since it's introduction &ndash; fluorescent hi-vis clothing.</p>
<h2>A Strange History</h2>
<p>Fluorescent dyes have an extraordinary history. They were first invented in the 1930s by American industrialist and stage magician Bob Switzer, who used them for such diverse purposes as locating tiny fractures in industrial machine parts, and as an element of a stage illusion in which a dancer's head vanishes. But the most common use of these dyes -- safety -- came into use during WWII, when fluorescent materials were used to protect Allied ground troops from being mistakenly bombed by their own planes.</p>
<h3>Visibility and Safety</h3>
<p>Hi-vis products have been adopted by many industries &ndash; delivery people, police officers and security guards, road-workers &ndash; even school teachers. Anywhere someone has to visibly stand out, hi-vis shirts, vests and caps are in use. They're not just for people at work either -- cyclists, joggers and vulnerable other road-users all use hi-vis garments, and all with the same thought in mind &ndash; "Be safe. Be seen".</p>
<h2>Branded High Visibility Caps</h2>
<p>Branded hi-vis caps have two primary uses. Firstly, they're great safety equipment. If you have employees/volunteers/students who spend a lot of time in or near traffic, then they&rsquo;re a must have. Combined with a hi-vis vest or shirt, these caps help make your people easy to see, and therefore difficult to run over.</p>
<p>Another significant use for hi-vis caps is that they make it easy to spot someone when needed &ndash; even in busy or crowded situations. This makes them indispensable tool for security staff, tour guides, information staff, event marshals and first aid officers. Anyone who might need to be picked out of a crowd, fast, will benefit from hi-vis headgear.</p>
<p>Hi-vis caps are designed to be seen, and so in addition to their safety function, they're a great place to put your message. With the correct printing, badging or embroidery, everyone will see that your organisation is one that puts safety first.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Uniform Caps and Hats]]></title>
      <link>https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/blog/uniform-caps-hats-delivered/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Custom branded headgear is a great way to show your brand&nbsp;while connecting with clients, customers and staff. Caps are probably the most visible part of an employee's uniform. Requiring less regular washing than most uniform elements and never needing to be ironed, uniform hats do a lot of good, without adding significantly to the workload of your employees, volunteers or students.</p>
<h2>Work Uniform Caps</h2>
<p>The most obvious use of uniform caps in the workplace is to place your brand on the front or sides and make them part of the uniform of front-facing staff. But there's more. Branded hi-vis caps for people working in traffic, branded sun hats for employees who work outdoors and branded wool caps for employees who work in the cold -- all these things perform double duty, helping protect your customers and staff while also making your brand visible.</p>
<h2>School Uniform Caps</h2>
<p>As the public becomes more aware of the dangers of skin cancer, a growing number of schools have hats as part of their uniform. One&nbsp;popular design is a full-brimmed cloth hat with a chinstrap to prevent loss in the wind. Heavyweight fabric construction means durability for active kids, in a form that can be folded up in a schoolbag when not in use. This configuration allows for a hat in the school colours and gives room for a school crest or logo to appear on the front of the crown. Students can show off their school pride, wherever they go.</p>
<h3>Volunteer Uniform Caps</h3>
<p>Customised caps are great ways to make your volunteer staff easy to identify at functions and in fundraising activities. Buying in a range of colours can help differentiate your volunteer staff -- information, security, first aid teams can all have their distinctive hats. If your charity is ecology-related, your volunteers might spend a lot of time outdoors. Branded broad-brimmed sun hats are a good way to protect them from the sun while drawing attention to your organisation.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Sporting Caps and Hats]]></title>
      <link>https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/blog/budget-sporting-caps-hats/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We love our sports in Australia. The trouble is, we live in a very sunny country. This can lead to excessive glare, affecting the precision and accuracy of your players. Worse, it can mean being on the receiving end of too much solar radiation &ndash; and too much sun can lead to sunburn, skin cancer and cataracts. A cap won't solve all of those problems, but along with sunscreen, sunglasses and appropriate clothing, a good cap can play a critical role in minimising the harm.</p>
<h2>Sun-safe in Style</h2>
<p>But sporting caps are not just effective protection from the elements. A quality uniform cap can encourage team spirit amongst your team and project a positive appearance to the public. Best of all, a team cap can be customised. Start by looking for a hat in your team's colours and then add your logo. The result will be an eye-catching piece of clothing that will make your team stand out from the others.</p>
<h3>Whatever the Sport</h3>
<p>There are a wide variety of sports that can benefit from the use of caps and hats among participants. Cricket, tennis, baseball, bowls, badminton, walking, hiking, golf, sailing, croquet, motor racing<span style="background-color: rgba(250, 214, 51, 0.247059);">&nbsp;--&nbsp;</span>the list is almost endless. In just about any non-contact sport, caps can keep the sun out of your eyes and off your face &ndash; with style. Even violent sports like Rugby can benefit from the use of headbands.</p>
<h3>Find the right Cap</h3>
<p>All of these sports bring with them particular demands of style. The configuration the&nbsp;cap&nbsp;may be determined the nature of the game,&nbsp;or tradition may mandate it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A tennis visor, for example, is crownless and lined with terry cloth. This&nbsp;design minimises weight while maximising protection and also keeping sweat out of the player's eyes. In bowls, speed is less of an issue, and so a more protective full-brimmed construction is possible. There is a huge range of caps and hats available, so chose the one that's right for your sport.</p>]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[Branded Caps for Winter]]></title>
      <link>https://www.promotionalcaps.com.au/blog/branded-caps-winter/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In Australia, we&rsquo;re often more concerned about keeping the sun out of our eyes than keeping our heads warm. That means that when you&rsquo;re thinking about promotional headgear, there&rsquo;s a real tendency to look mainly at warm weather caps and hats. But Australia's a big country, and hats that make great promotions on a sunny day in Brisbane aren't quite as useful on a rainy Melbourne morning. And if your organisation is based in Hobart or the Snowy Mountains, a winter hat might well be your best option.</p>
<h2>Warm Hats</h2>
<p>There's a common myth that most of your body heat is lost through the top of your head. That's been found to be untrue, and you really only lose 10% of your heat that way. But while that story might not be true, it is true that there's nothing as comfortable on a chilly morning as a nice warm hat. There&rsquo;s a whole range of hats suitable for cold weather. Winter caps are made of a flexible, stretchable material such as wool or fleece. These fit snuggly over the head, which means that wet weather they can be worn under a hood. Other warm hats are made of a less flexible material and feature a brim, making them more immediately water resistant than woolly caps.</p>
<h3>Rain Caps</h3>
<p>Let&rsquo;s face it, if you live on the coast in the rainier months, you&rsquo;re not likely to walk outside wearing a baseball cap or a sun visor. Even straw hats are useless in the rain. What you need is something water resistant at the very least, and ideally with a nice brim to keep the rain off your face.</p>
<h2>All Weather Hats</h2>
<p>Another good option, particularly for uniforms, are all-weather hats. Typically heavier than caps and lighter than woollen caps, all-weather hats are great for year-round wear. With an insulating cloth crown and a wide brim, they combine warmth with sun protection. They might not stand up to a torrential Sydney downpour, but they're good for most days from the height of summer to the depths of winter.</p>
<h3>Branded caps</h3>
<p>Whatever cap is right for your organisational needs and local weather, it's a good idea to have your logo printed, embroidered or badged onto it. After all, even in bad weather, a cap is a great way to ensure visibility.</p>]]></description>
