Frequently Asked Questions
Sizing & Fit
Q: Is this one-size-fits-all? Yes. PopupCap uses an adjustable strap that fits most adult head sizes (54-62cm / 21-24 inches). No need to specify sizes when ordering.
Q: Will it fit children? Our adjustable strap fits head circumferences from 21" to 24" (53-61cm). Head size varies significantly by individual rather than age, so we recommend measuring your child's head circumference before ordering to confirm fit. We currently don't offer sizes smaller than 21" — please measure first to avoid sizing issues.
How to measure: Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of the head (above the eyebrows and ears). If you don't have a tape measure, use a string and measure it against a ruler.
Color & Design
Q: What color options are available? We print in full CMYK color, so there's no limit on colors or shades — your logo's exact colors can be reproduced.
Q: Can I print on the entire cap, or just certain areas? Standard pricing covers front panel printing. Side and brim printing are available at no extra cost for orders of 1,000+ — just let us know when submitting your logo.
Q: How many colors can be in my logo? As many as you need — since we print in full CMYK, there's no per-color surcharge. Complex or photo-realistic designs are also supported.
Payment
Q: When do I need to pay? Full payment (100%) is required once you approve your proof, before production begins.
Q: What payment methods do you accept? We accept all major credit cards and PayPal through our secure checkout.
Q: Is my payment secure? Yes. All payments are processed through Shopify's secure payment system, which is PCI-DSS compliant.
Q: Do I need to pay customs or import duties separately? No. All PopupCap pricing is DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) - meaning customs duties and import fees are already included in your price. You won't be charged anything extra by customs or the courier upon delivery.
Q: Are there any extra fees or paperwork on my end? No. All PopupCap pricing is DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) - customs duties, import fees, and shipping are already included in your quoted price. There's nothing extra to pay, sign, or provide on your end.
Shipping
Q: Do you ship to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico? Yes, we ship to all 50 US states and Puerto Rico. Delivery to Alaska and Hawaii may add 1-2 extra days to the standard timeline.
Q: Can you ship to multiple addresses? Yes, for orders of 2,000+ units we can split shipments to multiple addresses, in increments of 500 units per address. A small handling fee may apply — contact us with your requirements.
Q: How do I track my order? Once your order ships, you'll receive a tracking number via email. You can track your shipment in real time through our courier's website.
Q: What if my package is damaged or lost in transit? All shipments are covered by our courier's standard shipping insurance. If your order arrives damaged or is lost in transit, contact us within 5 business days of the expected delivery date with photos (for damage claims), and we'll arrange a reprint or refund at no cost to you.
Q: Do you ship outside the United States? A: Yes — we ship internationally. Our standard pricing is for U.S. orders; for shipping to other countries, contact us at info@popupcap.com with your event details and delivery location, and we'll provide a custom quote within 24 hours.
Design Revisions
Q: How many proof revisions are included? Two rounds of revisions are included at no extra cost. Additional revisions are $25 each.
Q: Will revisions delay my delivery timeline? The first proof is delivered within 24 hours. Each revision round typically adds 24 hours. Production begins only after final approval, so please review carefully to keep your timeline on track.
Q: Can I request changes after approving the proof? Once a proof is approved, production begins immediately and changes cannot be made. Please review your proof thoroughly before approving.
Quality & Material
Q: What material is the cap made of? PopupCap is made from 300gsm premium paper stock (similar to heavy cardstock) with a water-based matte coating on the printed surface. This gives it a refined look and solid structure — lightweight yet sturdy for a full day of wear.
Q: Can it be worn outdoors or in light rain? PopupCap is designed for outdoor and indoor events in dry to lightly humid conditions. The printed surface has a light water-based coating, but the cut edges and interior are uncoated paper, so we do not recommend wearing it in rain or high-moisture conditions — prolonged exposure to water may cause the material to soften or lose shape. For outdoor events, we recommend having an indoor backup or covered area in case of rain.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear for a full day? Yes, the lightweight 300gsm paper construction is built for all-day comfort at conferences, festivals, and outdoor events — as long as conditions stay dry.
Order Size & Minimums
Q: What if I need fewer than 500 caps? 500 units is our minimum order, and we're unable to accommodate orders below this quantity.
Q: I need more than 20,000 caps — is that possible? Absolutely. For orders above 20,000 units, contact us directly for volume pricing and production scheduling.
Q: Can I place a repeat order with the same design? Yes, repeat orders with an approved design skip the proofing stage entirely — production starts immediately, cutting your timeline by 1-2 days.
File Requirements
Q: What file formats do you accept for logos? We accept PNG, JPG, PDF, AI, and EPS files. Vector files (AI, EPS) produce the sharpest results, but we can work with high-resolution image files too.
Q: I don't have a high-quality logo file — what should I do? Send us whatever you have, even a photo of a printed logo. Our design team will clean it up and recreate it for production at no extra cost.
Q: Do I need to send a print-ready file? No. Just send your logo and basic instructions — our team handles all the layout and print preparation for you.
Cancellation & Refunds
Q: Can I cancel my order after approving the proof? Once you approve your proof, production begins immediately and your order cannot be canceled or refunded, as materials are cut specifically for your design.
Q: Can I cancel before approving the proof? Yes. If you cancel before approving your proof, you'll receive a full 100% refund — no fees, no questions asked.
Timeline & Rush Orders
Q: What's the fastest you can deliver? Standard timeline is 24-hour proof + 4-day production + 3-day shipping (7-11 days total). Rush production is available for an additional fee — contact us for availability.
Q: What happens if my event date changes? Let us know as soon as possible. If production hasn't started, we can adjust your shipping schedule at no cost.
