Caps on the first hook: panel caps, camp caps, truckers and visors

Caps are the most common small item added to an agent parcel, and the catalogue holds hundreds. These ten were picked for shape and colour range, not for whatever is stitched on the front. Prices are the catalogue's figures on 20 October 2026.

Crown, brim and back: the shapes this hook holds

A six-panel cap has a rounded crown built from six triangular panels meeting at a button on top; it is what most people picture when they say baseball cap. A five-panel, sometimes listed as a camp cap, uses a wide front panel and a flatter, shallower crown, and usually pairs with a short flat brim. Trucker caps swap the back panels for mesh and often carry a tall front. Visors drop the crown altogether.

Brims come curved or flat. A curved brim is pre-bent and sits low over the eyes; a flat brim stays straight and reads more casual. Listings rarely say how stiff the front is, but photos do: a firm front holds its shape on a table, while a soft front folds forward or dents in the middle. On this hook the raised-lettering truckers stand upright on their own in their photos, while the camp cap's crown sits lower and softer.

Closures sit at the back: a plastic snap strip, a fabric strap with a metal slide, a buckle, or no opening at all on fitted caps. Strap types matter more than they seem, because they decide whether a cap fits a head that falls between sizes.

Cap titles decoded, from duck-tongue to snapback

Cap titles mix a few Chinese terms with English shop words. 鸭舌帽 (yāshémào, literally a duck-tongue hat) is the everyday word for a peaked cap; 棒球帽 is a baseball cap; 卡车帽 or 货车帽 marks a trucker; 遮阳帽 or 空顶帽 points to a sun visor, the second literally an empty-top hat. 硬顶 and 软顶 describe firm and soft fronts, when a seller bothers to say.

Sizes are usually given as 头围, head circumference, with a range in centimetres, or simply as 均码, one size, with an adjustable back. 可调节 means adjustable. Colour choices sit under 颜色分类, and option names are often a colour plus a code. When the option list shows 成人 and 儿童, adult and child, as the plaid cap does, the photos alone will not tell you which you are getting.

English in cap titles tends to be shop shorthand: snapback, dad hat, camp cap, washed, vintage. Treat those as rough shape hints and let the photos settle it.

Photos worth finding before a cap goes on your list

A side view tells you the crown height, which is the measurement most likely to disappoint: a deep crown sits over the ears, a shallow one perches. A back view shows the closure and how much room it leaves. A worn photo, like the pink cap's, gives scale against a face, which flat shots never do.

Look at the brim edge for even stitching lines and at the front patch or embroidery for loose threads. Washed and faded caps are meant to look uneven, so judge the wash by comparing several photos of the same colour rather than calling it a fault. On mesh-back truckers, check how the mesh meets the front panel; that seam takes the strain when the cap is pulled on.

After purchase, the agent's warehouse photos are your second look. For a cap, ask for a side view if the standard photos show only the front.

Sending caps through an agent without a dented crown

Caps weigh little but take up room, and once a parcel is bulky the shipping is charged on its space as well as its weight. In practice buyers stack caps inside one another, crown into crown, which keeps the shape and saves volume. Boxes and plastic shells that some sellers add are the first thing to drop when a parcel needs to stay small.

AllChinaBuy's Shipping Expert request, as its archived pages described it, let buyers say whether to keep or remove original packaging before a parcel was packed; what happened to AllChinaBuy since is on the record page. Any agent taking orders now has a remark box or packing option that does the same job: write that caps should be nested and not folded.

Two or three caps make a sensible add-on to a clothing parcel. A parcel of ten caps on its own is mostly air, and the shipping bill will show it.
