New Era 9FIFTY Mockup and Patch Size Guide
Short answer: The New Era 9FIFTY is a structured snapback with a flatter brim and a different front window than a mesh trucker. Start most front patches around 2.75 to 3.5 inches wide and 1.75 to 2.25 inches tall, then confirm the 9FIFTY crown in Print Laser Pro before production.

Production recommendations
- Do not use a trucker preview: A 112 mockup makes a 9FIFTY look like the wrong hat. Customers notice.
- Show the flat brim: The brim is part of the 9FIFTY read. Include it in the customer proof.
- Sample the blank: Starting sizes are conservative. Approve one decorated 9FIFTY.
Frequently asked questions
- Is a 9FIFTY the same as a 59FIFTY?
- No. 9FIFTY is the snapback family. 59FIFTY is fitted. Print Laser Pro starts with a 9FIFTY page because that is the blank shops name most often.
- Can I use Richardson sizes on a 9FIFTY?
- Only as a first guess. Finish the proof on this 9FIFTY page and the New Era brand page.
