Design Suggestions
Here are a few suggestions from our Crafty Cap Specialists on the best types of designs.
- Colored backgrounds are pretty, however making something over that design more of a focal point really brings out the finished cap. Try adding a picture, clipart or jpg design behind your desired words, slogan or brewery. See our past orders for some examples.
- Please remember these designs are shrinking down to a 1” diameter circle, words are a little harder to read when too many are required on the top of your cap. Try fewer words and more logo or design background.
- Colors may vary. Check out our "Choosing Your Colors" section for more advice. If you’re worried about a specific color, try asking for a sample if it’s not offered. We offer samples for 50 cap orders or more.
- If you want your cap vibrant or to stand out, try using our dark blue, white, red, dark green or black colored caps. Most designs really pop against the more obvious colors. For caps that blend in a little more, try gold or silver. Black is good for either, the blending will depend more on your desired design.
- If you have questions or don’t care for the designs we work on or send you, PLEASE feel free to let us know! This is YOUR cap, YOUR design, YOUR order – we’re here to make it perfect for you.
Choosing Your Colors
Surprisingly, it's not hard to

create a harmonious color scheme when you have the right tool--a color wheel.
Although the color wheel is pretty limited when compared to all the colors found in nature, it's also extremely simplistic, which can be a really good thing.
Complementary color schemes utilize colors opposite each other on the color wheel like yellow and purple, orange and blue, red and green.
A triadic color scheme involves the creation of a color triangle such as red, blue and yellow, or green, violet and orange.
The trickiest of all color schemes is the polychromatic, which is basically a hodgepodge of colors all thrown together.
