Need to show a side mark to a client? This baseball cap mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Streetwear labels and sports teams tend to get the most out of files like this. A small tip: light prints on light fabric vanish; try the garment colour layer first before you change your artwork.
It’s also useful before a print run, to check how large the design should really be on the garment. Add a hoodie or sweatshirt shot next to it and you have a basic collection page.

Baseball Cap Mockup: editable parts
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Print design, placed through the smart object
- Folds and wrinkles that wrap your print
- Fabric colour
Editing the Baseball Cap Mockup, step by step
- Decide where the design sits on the item and size your art for that spot.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Export a full-size image for your portfolio and a smaller one for social media.
One more thing: caps show logos small and curved; a simplified version of the mark reads much better than the full logo.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this cap mockup for client work?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Pixpine. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I put my artwork on the cap?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Does the print follow the fabric folds?
Better apparel mockups use a displacement map or warp so the print follows the wrinkles. Check the preview: if the folds show through the logo, it does.
