Color blocking
Fabric-aware fill recolors each panel separately — two-tone crowns, contrast brims, matched snaps.
3D snapback designer
Design a custom snapback in 3D
Structured 6-panel crown, flat brim, snap closure — the snapback lives on color blocking and bold front graphics. Recolor every panel with the fabric intact, drop your artwork on the live 3D cap, and preview 3D puff embroidery that actually raises the surface.

Flat PSD mockups vs a rotating 3D snapback
A flat template shows one angle of one blank. A snapback design decision — panel colors, puff height, brim contrast — needs the whole cap.
| Flat mockup | CBOs | |
|---|---|---|
| Angles | One fixed front view | Rotate the cap: crown, side panels, brim, back |
| Materials | Painted-on texture | Real suede, corduroy and cotton with live recoloring |
| 3D puff | A drop shadow effect | Displacement that actually raises the embroidery |
| Next step | Export a JPEG | Order the physical sample of that exact cap — $60 |

Snapback design FAQ
Can I design a snapback online for free?
Yes. The CBOs 3D Studio is free to start in the browser on desktop, iPhone or iPad — open the 6-panel model, recolor panels and place your artwork with no credit card.
Can I make a two-tone snapback?
Yes. The fabric-aware fill recolors each panel independently, so two-tone and tri-tone color blocking with a contrast brim takes seconds — and the fabric texture stays visible.
How does the 3D puff preview work?
CBOs renders 3D puff as real displacement: the embroidered area physically rises from the cap surface in the preview, so you can judge height and coverage before sampling.
What is the minimum order for custom snapbacks?
Start with 1 physical sample for $60, usually about 7 days. Bulk production starts at 50 pieces per model and colorway, typically around $15-20 per cap.
Snapback or fitted — which model should I use?
Snapbacks have an adjustable snap closure; fitted caps are sized with a flat brim. Both are separate models in the Studio, so you can try your design on each before deciding.
