The numbers

From one sample cap to a low MOQ production run

The path is simple: order a single custom cap sample first, then move into production only after the real cap is approved.

Workflow

Sample then bulk production, without a disconnected handoff

CBOs keeps design, sample review and manufacturing in one workflow so your 3D cap concept can become a real product.

  1. Design the cap in 2D and 3D

    Create artwork, place logos, choose cap shape, review materials and preview embroidery, pins, rhinestones or packaging direction before ordering anything physical.

  2. Order 1 physical sample

    CBOs turns the approved design direction into one custom cap sample so you can hold the real product, inspect fit and check production details.

  3. Approve or adjust the sample

    Review crown shape, brim, fabric, embroidery quality, logo scale, labels, closures and packaging before committing to inventory.

  4. Manufacture 50+ pieces

    After sample approval, CBOs moves the same project into low MOQ private label cap production from 50 pieces, with QC before shipping.

Why sample first

Designed for brands that need confidence before inventory

A single custom cap sample lowers risk for new clothing brands, streetwear founders, creators and agencies before they commit to a full production run.

For new brands

Start with 1 sample cap instead of guessing from flat mockups or committing to a large order before seeing the real product.

For serious drops

Use the sample to validate the cap before pre-orders, content, retail conversations or 50+ piece production.

For better factory handoff

The 3D design and sample create a clearer production reference than a logo file, screenshot or scattered inspiration board.

Custom cap sample and MOQ FAQ

Can I order just 1 custom cap?

Yes. With CBOs you can order 1 physical custom cap sample to validate your design, fit, materials, decoration and private label details before committing to production.

What is the minimum order quantity for production?

The production minimum is 50 pieces per design after the sample is approved. The 1-cap sample lets you check the real product before scaling into a low MOQ run.

Do you offer pre-production samples?

Yes. CBOs offers a 1-cap pre-production sample so brands can review construction, materials, embroidery, logo placement, labels and packaging before bulk production.

How much does a custom cap sample cost?

A custom cap sample starts from $120. Final sample cost can change with complex decoration, premium fabrics, metal pins, rhinestones, custom trims or packaging.

How long does the sample take?

A custom cap sample usually takes 15-18 days after the design direction, production details and quote are approved.

How does sample then bulk production work?

First you design and approve the cap direction in CBOs. Then one physical sample is made. After you approve or adjust the sample, the same project can move into 50+ piece bulk production.

Can I design the cap in 3D before ordering the sample?

Yes. CBOs is built so brands can design custom caps in 2D and 3D before ordering a sample. This helps clarify shape, placement, materials and decoration before production money is spent.

Is CBOs only a 3D cap design tool?

No. CBOs is an end-to-end custom cap platform: 2D artwork, real-time 3D cap design, product rendering, 1-cap physical samples and low MOQ custom cap manufacturing from 50 pieces.
