Getting rid of unwanted white areas: Let's say your graphic comes with some white background that you don't want printed on your cap. Go to an advanced photo manipulating program like Photoshop or Gimp , and use the Fuzzy Select tool to quickly delete the undesired white areas. Then make sure to export your image as a PNG. Have no idea what I'm talking about?

Email me for assistance. Design Tips We can print anything you want on a cap, but some designs look better than others. Here are a few pointers on successful bottle cap design:. What the printing is like: Our printing has a matte finish so colors look consistent in every light. We use white ink for white areas, even on white caps. BottleMark prints only on the flat top of the cap: We cannot print on the inside of caps. Pick the right cap color. We offer custom printing on a wide range of colors, but you should pick the cap color that works best with your design.

While the colors we print are consistent across all cap colors, you don't want your design blending into the background! Don't put a black or dark image on a black cap, or a light design on a white cap. Follow our color-contrast rules: A bottle cap is small. Don't expect tiny details to reproduce well. Make sure that all your design elements are clear and legible at the size of 1 inch before ordering. Avoid over-designing your cap—save the crazy stuff for labels! Zoom in on your image as much as possible so the subject fills the entire canvas and is as large as possible.

Use square or circular designs. Since the printable area is a perfect circle, choose an image that works when cropped into a square or circle. A rectangular image can work, too, but you'll need to make it smaller to get all of it on the canvas: So think circular! High-contrast colors. Be bold with your colors. If you have many layers to your design, make sure that the background and the foreground graphics have a strong dark-to-light color contrast. Watch out especially for royal or dark blue-on-black; both of those are dark colors! Black-and-white and richly colored pictures look beautiful on caps.

You can up the color saturation or vibrance on a photo to create a look that "pops. Bold text. When it comes to text, the bolder the font, the bigger the size, the better. You don't want your text to end up illegible! Make sure text contrasts with the background: Pay special attention to contrast if you're working with text on a photo background. If text is the most important part of your cap, use solid backgrounds to make your text "pop.

Transparent elements: Our printer will lay down color ink for every color in your design, including white, unless you make an element in your design transparent.

1. Choose your shape.

We can print designs that use the cap's natural red color for the background or that have a font in the foreground in the natural color, but you need to make sure you tell our machine what needs to be transparent. First, set the element's fill color to "transparent" in your design program, and then export the image as a PNG or GIF.

JPGs fill all of your transparent areas with white color: If you've created a successful transparent element, it will show up as transparent in our design tool. Note that the printed areas are raised very slightly above the base metal of the cap, so there will be a slight ridge surrounding transparent sections. Fine details like tiny text in the middle of a large transparent area are more likely to scrape off. Leave a margin. We print on as much of the bottle cap as we can; however, the rounded edges of the cap are rounded even more in capping, so elements that are all the way to the edge can be lost or look strange.

Leave a little space at the edge. Below is a screen shot from the design tool and a photo of the resulting cap. While the black-and-white photo turned out lovely, the text is a disaster! Even with a stroke around the text, the font looks too narrow and blends in completely with the gray areas of the photo. This is no good! Now see the improvement. We used the same photo and even the same curly font but changed the font color. Now this is the best choice. We've deleted the text, enlarged the photo, and made the design all about the cute image.

So why couldn't we get the text to work? This photo has both dark and light areas, so we couldn't pick a single text color that truly popped. If you want your text to pop but your image isn't cooperating, put it on top of a simple background, like this:. Now we've got the color contrast we need to have easy-to-read text. We've cropped the photo into a center circle and added a ring of color on the outside. The photo's not as prominent as in the last design, but we do get the text loud and clear.

Here's another example of bad text contrast. The white text shows up clearly on a blue background, but the black text doesn't show up nearly as well. Black and blue are not a strong light-against-dark color combination; they're both rather dark colors. Opt for white or pale colors against blue. The "Custom Bottle Caps" text is just barely readable. Even though the graphic stretches from edge to edge, it is way too small, and there's a lot of wasted space, too. Best to start with an image that looks great as a circle or square. Although the face is small in the cap below, it still turned out perfectly distinct.

We don't recommend going much smaller though. This cap—a picture of Neptune—is a good example of not having enough detail.
