Digitizing and Embroidering on Caps is done very differently from most other garments.

Types of Caps

5 Panel caps

5 Panel caps are made out of 5 pieces of materials (excluding the bill). These types of caps are not as common now as the 6 panel caps. 5 panel caps DO NOT have a seam that is in the front of the cap but are instead just one piece for the front where the embroidery goes.

6 Panel caps

6 Panel caps are made out of 6 pieces of materials (excluding the bill). These types of caps are much more common. 6 panel caps have a seam that run right down the front middle of the cap. This seam can cause problems for inexperienced digitizers and operators.
