Map the Brim Before Designing

Usable area depends on the material, crown opening, brim width, curve, and edge. Use Sizes and Fit when measurements change by size.

  • Surface: Material, weave, base color, edge, stiffness, and panel direction
  • Geometry: Crown opening, outer edge, width changes, joins, and no-print zones
  • View: Front centerline, reading direction, visible area, and size version

Choose the Print Layout

The layout determines the artwork map and what must be checked on the sample.

1. Local Logos and Motifs

A single logo or motif placed below the front, side, or back of the brim.

  • Position: Finished size, location, reading direction, and edge clearance
  • File: Vector artwork, colors, centerline, no-print zones, and hat size
  • Sample check: Legibility, distortion, alignment, and worn visibility

2. Borders and Directional Artwork

A perimeter design or graphic with a clear front, top, or reading direction.

  • Map: Border width, edge distance, start and end points, margins, and joins
  • Orient: Front, reading direction, text alignment, continuous or mirrored layout
  • Sample check: Continuity, spacing, curved text, and front alignment

3. Repeat Patterns

A tiled pattern covering part or all of the usable underside.

  • Repeat: Tile size, motif scale, density, direction, and start point
  • Crop: Rules for the crown opening, outer edge, joins, and no-print zones
  • Sample check: Gaps, clusters, half motifs, color, and pattern balance

4. Broad-Area Prints and Printed Panels

Broad coverage using a feasible direct route or a separate printable panel.

  • Route: Confirm direct printing or a separate panel after feasibility review
  • Sample check: Coverage, registration, wrinkles, edge, added thickness, flexibility, and packing
  • Separate component: Use Custom Patches when the graphic is not part of the brim

Approve the Print on the Hat

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about print maps, artwork, and sample approval.

Not always. Crown opening, brim width, curve, and print area can change, so some sizes need separate maps.
It depends on the surface, artwork detail, coverage, edge construction, and added thickness.
The brim curves around the crown and bends when worn, which can distort straight artwork.
Send vector artwork with outlined fonts, dimensions, repeat size, direction, colors, and the brim map.
MOQ starts at 50 pieces per design. Print setup, panels, colors, size maps, testing, or supplier minimums may change the final minimum or lead time.
