PPB August 2019

Danielle Renda is associate editor of PPB. The perfect foundation for sharing critical brand messaging or a colorful, attention-grabbing logo, the Mega Cap PET Recycled is a structured cap made from 50 percent cotton and 50 percent recycled polyester—which is made by melting discarded plastics, like water bottles, and re-spinning it into new polyester fiber. Details include a mid- profile and six-panel construction with a pre-curved visor and a convenient hook- and-loop closure. Available in red, navy, black, gray, khaki and white (shown).
