Default hats/caps, printing question.

Hey guys I was doing some brainstorming on product ideas about hats and I know you can heat transfer and even direct screen print on the front of a cap but can you print on the back? just my brand name nothing fancy. It would be ball caps specifically flexfits, thanks for any input.

if you have hat press, you can do heat transfer on the back..or use heat press vinyl

thanks I was wondering because all the presses ive seen only mention printing on the front. now heres another that popped into my head earlier today, can you print foil on caps? I think that would look sick.

I don't know about foil, but I've used reflective silver vinyl with great results on hats. Looks really cool. Good luck with the foil.

I've pressed flock on the back, and sides of caps with my normal press. all i do is just lay it in the corner, and press.
