  • Baseball Cap
    Table of Contents • Introduction • Best Practices • Dimensions • File Formats • Top Selling Products • Do’s & Don’ts • Design Inspiration • To Wrap This Up Introduction Embroidery and direct-to-garment printing are two completely different processes. To put this in perspective t-shirt design won’t work as a hat design. Complicated designs are too difficult to embroider – our machines only have a certain capacity to embroider your designs. With embroidery – less is technically more. Use bold designs with thick lines to achieve the best embroidered look. Additionally, embroidery has limited color options. Please do not include shading in your designs. If you are planning to use multiple colors, please make sure your designs have large enough detail for our machines to properly embroider your designs. We offer 16 different colors. We suggest using no more than 2 color gradients. For our visual observers, we have a cheat sheet below. Best Practices • Stick to fonts that are larger than .18″ in height • Solid font if smaller than 1” • No drop shadow or outlines around the text if it is smaller than .5″ in height • Fill all objects containing negative space under .2” W x .2” H (transparencies) with a solid color NOTE: Distressed fonts may be simplified without notice to the seller or customer. Dimensions Embroidery file size: 4” width x 2.4” height When editing embroidery files, stay within the actual embroidery area dimensions. Scenario 1: If your artwork is 2.4″ in height, the artwork will not be stretched to 4″, it will stay proportional to its size. Scenario 2: If your artwork is 4″ in width, the artwork will not be stretched to 2.4″, it will stay proportional to its size.

    2020 | COLLECTION nrs.com | 1 Free z-drag refresher course on the Snake River, OR. Erik Boomer Born on the river, ready for whatever. Almost no river trip comes off without a hitch. It’s always something–a flat tire, a bungled shuttle, unexpected weather, flips, swims, or mischievous wildlife. We here at NRS have withstood more than our share of river snafus. We know that no amount of preparation can prevent the inevitable and that responding to unforeseen challenges is half the point. Still, we do our best to make sure that gear failures and wardrobe malfunctions are not part of the excitement on your next adventure. Behind the pretty pictures in the pages to follow are countless hours spent fretting over design, materials, components and construction on everything from a pair of gloves to a 27-foot Grand Canyon gear boat. Today, the equipment and apparel we build gets used far beyond the river—on oceans and lakes, in mountains and deserts, for traveling the world and just kicking around town—but the approach we take hasn’t wavered. If it passes the river test, it’s ready for anything. “Born on the river, ready for whatever” is more than just a tagline. It’s the concept behind every product we make. It’s also a philosophy we hope you’ll keep in mind next time—and there will be a next time—things go haywire on the water. NEW for 2020 REVISED or NEW COLOR for 2020 MEN’S SUP Sun, heat, blisters, abrasion—don’t let them plague your next SUP adventure.
