Cap & Hat Digitizing
Caps are not flat garments. Their curve, center seam, frame movement, and structure change how a design should sew. We build hat files specifically for cap production instead of repurposing a left-chest file.
Common applications
Center-out and bottom-up strategies can help control registration and push distortion around the crown.
We account for center seams, available sewing field, small text, and elements that may need spacing or reinforcement.
Front panels, side logos, and back arches require different sizing and path decisions.
