What are custom paper hats and how much do they cost in Kenya?
Paper hats are printed hats made from paper, worn at parties and events, and Print Lion prints your own design on them. There is no fixed price because it depends on the hat size and how many you need, so you send both and get a quote. The minimum order is one hat, orders are ready in 1 to 2 days once your artwork is correct and approved, and we deliver to all counties in Kenya or you can collect from our office on Moi Avenue, Nairobi.
Order as few as one hat
Our minimum order is one hat, so a single birthday child or a small family party can order just as easily as a brand running a campaign.
Professional printing of your design
You bring the design and we print it on paper hats with professional finish, so your party or promotion looks properly put together.
Quick turnaround
Orders are ready in 1 to 2 days once your artwork is correct and approved, which helps when the event date is close.
Delivery countrywide or collect
We deliver to all counties in Kenya, including outside Nairobi, or you can collect from our office on Moi Avenue.
What customers say about Print Lion
How to prepare your artwork for printing

Getting your artwork ready
Send print-ready artwork as a PDF, high-resolution TIFF, JPEG, PSD, or an AI or other vector file. We do not accept Word, PowerPoint, Excel or Publisher files, or Canva or Google Docs links. Artwork should be at least 150 DPI at final print size. CMYK and RGB are both fine, but printed colour can look different from your screen, so ask for a physical sample if exact colour matters to you. Add a 2 mm bleed beyond the trim edge and keep text and graphics at least 10 mm inside the trim edge.
Common questions
What are paper hats?
Paper hats are hats made from paper that people wear at parties and events. They suit birthdays, family gatherings, brand campaigns and promotions.
Can I print my own design on paper hats?
Yes. You send us your artwork and we print it on the hats. We do not offer design services, so your file needs to be print-ready.
What is the minimum order and price?
The minimum order is one hat. The price depends on the size and the quantity, so send us both on WhatsApp and we will give you a quote.
How fast can I get my order?
Orders are ready in 1 to 2 days, once your artwork is correct and approved. Asking for a physical colour sample or fixing problems in your file can add time.
Do you deliver outside Nairobi?
Yes. Delivery to all counties in Kenya is available. You can also collect from our office on the 2nd Floor, Tumaini House, Moi Avenue, Nairobi.
What file should I send?
Send a PDF, high-resolution TIFF, JPEG, PSD, or an AI or other vector file. We send you a proof and only start printing after you approve it.
Will the printed colours match what I see on my screen?
Not always. Printed colour can look different from a screen. If exact colour matters, ask us for a physical sample before you place a full order.
