Cap Structure Matters

Structured and unstructured caps can behave differently during embroidery, so the file should be prepared for the actual headwear whenever possible.

  • Cap type and placement considered
  • Curved sewing area planned for
  • Logo size checked against practical limits

Center Seam and Sequencing

The center seam can affect registration and stitch behavior, especially when lettering or narrow details cross it.

  • Sequence selected around design construction
  • Stitch direction chosen for stability and appearance
  • Travel reduced where practical

Flat or 3D Puff

Cap artwork can be prepared as flat embroidery, 3D puff, or a combination when the artwork has suitable shapes and widths.

  • Flat details can support finer artwork
  • Puff works best on stronger elements
  • Combination files planned by object
