Custom Performance Running Caps
ZipaSports manufactures custom performance running caps in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a minimum order of 20–25 pieces per design and 15–25 business day production. Ordered by running clubs, race organisers and endurance event sponsors who need a cap light enough for long distances.
The crown is cut from 140-180 GSM polyester with pin-dot or open mesh side and rear panels so heat escapes while the runner moves. A soft pliable peak folds into a pocket without creasing, and the terry sweatband is looped to pull sweat away from the brow rather than hold it. Reflective taping can be added to the rear seam and peak edge for low-light running.
Send your logo, colours and reference designs — or just an idea — and the design studio returns a free digital mockup within 24 hours. OEM and private-label orders ship with your own woven labels, size tags and branded packaging, applied in-house.

Performance Running Caps — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom performance running caps?
20–25 pieces per design. Lower quantities are possible on request, and there is no MOQ limit for sportswear brands and companies.
What are performance running caps made of?
140-180 GSM polyester interlock with mesh panels, terry sweatband. GRS-certified recycled fabric options are available on request.
How long does production take?
Bulk production takes 15–25 business days after design approval, with an express 7–12 day service at additional cost. A free digital mockup is delivered within 24 hours of your enquiry.
Will the peak survive being folded into a race vest?
Yes. The pliable insert is designed to be rolled and will return to shape. A card-insert peak from a structured cap would crease permanently, which is why we do not use one here.
Does the fabric dry quickly after heavy sweating?
Polyester holds very little moisture, so the crown dries far faster than cotton twill. The mesh panels speed this up by keeping air moving through the cap.
Can sponsor logos be printed all over the cap?
Yes. Dye sublimation prints the panels before assembly, so artwork can run edge to edge and across seams without adding weight or stiffness.
How much do custom performance running caps cost?
Pricing depends on fabric choice, order quantity, decoration and destination, so every order is quoted individually. Send your design and quantity on WhatsApp (+92 300 7019281) for a same-day quote and a free digital mockup within 24 hours.
