5-panel caps vs 6-panel caps

 

5-panel caps and 6-panel caps differ in their construction and aesthetic. The key distinction lies in the number of panels used to create the crown of the cap.

5-Panel Caps:

  • Has 2 back panels, 1 panel on each side (total of 2), and 1 front panel.
  • The front panel is larger and seamless, which makes it suitable for screen printing or heat transfer.
  • Popular for its simplicity and retro vibe.
  • Logo Placement: The uninterrupted front panel is often used for bold logo or graphic placement.

6-Panel Caps:

  • Consists of 2 back panels, 1 panel on each side (total of 2), and 2 front panels.
  • The front panels are stitched together, creating a visible seam.
  • A more traditional and common cap design.
  • Logo Placement: Logos or designs may be distributed across the front two panels or spread out more evenly.

The choice between a 5-panel and a 6-panel cap often comes down to personal style preferences. 5-panel caps are often associated with a more modern and minimalistic look, while 6-panel caps are considered classic and widely worn in various settings. Both styles have their unique appeal and are popular in different fashion contexts.
