Beginner-friendly by design
You do not need to be a designer. Upload a graphic, create one with AI, drag it onto the cap and see the result live on the 3D model.
Custom hat design app
Design custom hats from artwork to production in one app.
CBOs helps clothing brand owners and beginners create graphics with AI, drag and drop artwork onto a 1:1 3D cap mockup, preview the design in real time, generate product renders, order one physical sample and move into low MOQ production.

Best for beginners and clothing brand owners who need easy drag-and-drop 3D cap mockups, AI-assisted artwork, mobile/tablet access, product renders, one physical sample and custom hat production.Why CBOs is better for beginners than a basic hat mockup app
Search results are full of mockup generators. CBOs is built for people who want to create a realistic 3D cap mockup fast, even if they do not have finished graphics yet.
Better than flat 2D mockups for cap decisions
Flat hat mockups are useful for quick visuals, but they cannot show how artwork sits around the crown, brim, panels and curved cap structure. CBOs uses a 1:1 3D cap preview for better placement decisions.
Live 3D cap preview
CBOs connects 2D artwork to a real-time 3D cap mockup, so brand owners can check scale, materials and decoration before sampling.
Designed for production decisions
The workflow keeps sample, MOQ, manufacturing and private label details close to the visual design instead of treating them as a later handoff.
Cross-device access
Use the CBOs web app on desktop, iPhone, iPad, Android phone or Android tablet, with iOS support through the App Store.
AI artwork, drag-and-drop 3D preview, renders and production in one workflow
Start with AI or uploaded graphics, place the design on the 3D cap model, then move toward sample validation and low MOQ production without losing the original design context.
Create artwork with AI or upload your graphics
Start from a logo, text, uploaded file or AI-assisted graphic if you do not already have artwork.
Drag and drop onto a 1:1 3D cap
Place graphics directly on a 3D model that represents the real cap layout, so scale and placement are easier to judge than in a flat mockup.
Generate product renders
Create HD visuals for launch planning, ads, product pages, pre-orders and internal approval.
Order one physical sample
Use the approved design direction to validate the real cap before investing in inventory.
Produce 50+ custom caps
Move the approved sample into low MOQ custom hat production with private label options.
Works on desktop, mobile and tablet
CBOs is browser-based for desktop, iPhone, iPad, Android phone and Android tablet. The App Store version gives iPhone and iPad users a native install path.

Sample to production
From one physical sample to 50+ custom caps
Design tools are only useful for a brand if the idea can become a real product. CBOs lets you order one physical sample, approve the cap in hand and move into low MOQ production from 50 pieces.

2D + 3DCBOs vs Canva, Kittl, Placeit, Printful and CLO 3D
Each tool can be useful. CBOs is strongest when a clothing brand needs custom hat design, realistic 3D review, one sample and low MOQ manufacturing in the same path.
| Basic design or mockup tools | CBOs | |
|---|---|---|
| Main workflow | Usually focused on templates, flat mockups or artwork exports. | AI-assisted artwork, drag-and-drop 3D cap mockups, HD renders, sample and production in one workflow. |
| Beginner workflow | Often requires starting with finished artwork or understanding a design template. | Create graphics with AI, upload or clean artwork, then drag and drop it onto the cap. |
| 3D cap review | Often limited to flat photo mockups or generic product previews. | Preview artwork live on a 1:1 3D cap model with materials, decoration and render direction. |
| Production path | May require a separate supplier, POD catalog or manual factory handoff. | Order one physical sample, then move into 50+ piece low MOQ custom cap production. |
| Best fit | Quick graphics, marketplace previews or generic design assets. | Clothing brand owners building custom hats from concept to real product. |
CBOs vs Canva and Kittl
Canva and Kittl are strong for 2D graphics. CBOs is stronger for beginners who need to see that artwork live on a 1:1 3D cap before sampling.
CBOs vs Placeit
Placeit is useful for fast lifestyle mockups. CBOs is better when you need drag-and-drop 3D placement, a physical sample and a production run.
CBOs vs Printful and CLO 3D
Printful is print-on-demand production on catalog products. CLO 3D is powerful 3D apparel software. CBOs sits between design and custom hat production.
Custom hat design app FAQ
