A front view cap mockup, made for presenting an embroidered logo. Drop in your artwork and the lighting and shadows stay as they are.
It’s a handy file for streetwear labels and sports teams. A small tip: caps show logos small and curved; a simplified version of the mark reads much better than the full logo.
It’s also useful before a print run, to check how large the design should really be on the garment.
Good for
- An embroidered logo
- A side mark
- A small patch design

Front View Cap Mockup: editable parts
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Print design, placed through the smart object
- Fabric colour
- Shadows and highlights
How to edit this Front View Cap Mockup in Photoshop
- Prepare the graphic flat, without shadows or fake texture. The mockup adds those.
- In the Layers panel, find the layer with the small smart object icon and double-click it.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
Worth remembering: if the print looks too sharp, a very slight blur (0.3 px) makes it sit into the fabric.

How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
