Print Laser Pro

Hat Builder

Short answer: Show the hat before you make the hat. Choose from real hat photos by brand, style and color, place the patch where it sews or presses, and send a proof the customer can approve. The same design exports as a production patch file.

Who it is for

Hat shops, patch makers and brands selling custom caps.

How it works

  1. Pick the hat: Browse hats by brand, style and color from the built-in hat catalog.
  2. Design the patch: Add the logo, choose UV print or laser engrave and the patch shape.
  3. Place it: Drag the patch onto the front of the hat at true size.
  4. Proof and produce: Share the mockup for approval and export the patch production files.

What it makes

  • Patch hats
  • Trucker caps

Before and after

Before: Customers ask what it will look like, you mock it up in Photoshop on a stock photo, and the color never matches.

After: Pick the actual hat in the actual color, place the patch, and send a proof in the time it takes to answer the email.

Common worries, answered

Design software is complicated.

The Hat Builder opens on guided steps: pick a product, add your art, check the preview, export. Every advanced setting is there when you want it and out of the way when you don't.

I'm not a designer.

You don't have to be. Start from a template, upload a logo or type a name. Background removal, cleanup and AI artwork tools do the fiddly parts for you.

My customers won't design their own.

They don't have to either. Use it yourself for quotes and production, or put the same builder in your store so customers order exactly what they see.
