Best Bucket Hat Mockup Generators

You can make a mockup without Photoshop if you don’t feel like using software.

That’s when mockup generators come into play.

We prefer to work with Placeit’s template, which cost $7.95 per piece. But they also offer affordable monthly ($14.95/mo) and yearly ($89.69/yr) subscriptions.

1. Mockup of a bucket hat on a solid background

This is a very straight-to-the-point mockup of a bucket hat that you can improve in a few clicks.

What’s COOL, you can add a design both to the hat and to the embroidery.

Make it special and stand out.

For this, you’ll need very little time.

Note: This one worked for one of our clients very well on their eCommerce website.

We used it on a white background and created an alternative (custom background) version for their social promotion.

2. Mockup of two bucket hats

You can BENEFIT from this one for all sorts of different reasons.

First, you can present a design on two sides of the hat.

Second, you can create two styles since the generator allows you to upload two different designs, one for each item.

Third, you can use the same design for each but change the color of the hat.

Maybe a male and female version?

What’s more, you can also slide in a custom logo. This allows you to brand the mockup.

MORE. PROFESSIONAL.

3. Mockup of a floating bucket hat

mockup of a floating bucket hat
In the beginning of my design career, I didn’t really get the point of floating items/products.

But I found out they work when I recently combined them with my online marketing knowledge and testing.

I haven’t done a survey asking users why they like floating items, but the numbers were good indicators.

That said, if you want to create a great showcase of a custom bucket hat – FLOATING! – you make the right choice if you pick this one.

4. Bucket hat mockup generator

I mentioned it in other reviews already but I’ll do it once again here: Go with simplicity when you’re in doubt.

IT WORKS. Always.

And the same applies to bucket hat mockups. This entire review focuses on these types of templates. (Just that the hat may be a slightly different model.)

Add text, logo and design, change the colors of the hat and background and you are ready to roll.

Imagine how awesome it would be if you’d also have an option to add a design to the top of the hat.

YUP!

5. Mockup of two sublimated bucket hats

mockup of two sublimated bucket hats
The same model of a bucket hat than the one above, just that you get two. I won’t go into details how you can use this one since I mentioned it – yes – above.

BUT.

You get to play with a lot of customization functions. You can import four designs, two for the hats and two for the patches.

Moreover, you can also change hat, patch and background colors individually. And there’re also options to add text and logo.

Hint: We didn’t really like adding text in this case. However, a logo in the top left corner worked very well.

You can even make a prototype before creating a free account on Placeit.

9. Bucket hat with embroidery PSD mockup

bucket hat with embroidery psd mockup
Personally, I really like embroidery on hats (on clothing in general).

While you can create a similar presentation with an online mockup generator, here’s a PSD kit that does the trick, too.

Core feature: Embroidery and badge are actually optional. You can turn them ON or OFF.

This gives you even more freedom and makes the mockups more versatile.

Inserting your designs and logos happens via smart objects.

DRAG-N-DROP is all it takes.

But you can also adjust other elements because everything is easily reachable due to great layering.

Price: $5

How To Make A Bucket Hat Mockup?

Your task of creating a life-like version of a custom bucket hat mockup becomes a piece of cake with an online mockup generator.

You don’t need software, and you definitely don’t need skills.

I’ll show you how to make it happen with my favorite platform, Placeit.

4 Steps To Design A Bucket Hat Mockup:

  • Step 1: Go to Placeit (my fav!), where you can find 140+ templates to work with. What’s cool is that you can test all of them for free. (But I recommend creating a free account for a smoother workflow first.)
  • Step 2: Once you’re on the mockup page, you’ll see a bunch of functions, but start with inserting your design by clicking the “insert image” button. You can also resize and reposition it before sticking it to the template by clicking “crop.”
  • Step 3: And you can now go back to all the other functions to customize the look however you want. It only takes some clicking to make it happen. No. Big. Deal.
  • Step 4: Are you happy with your creation? Click “download” and get it into the world.

That was QUICK!

However, you’ll have a blast even if you use a PSD template.

Import the mockup into Photoshop and find the smart object layer to drag your design. It’ll also be effortless to perform other tweaks because I ensured to include only templates with a user-friendly and organized layered structure.

One of the benefits of a PSD over a generator is more creative freedom.

Do it your way!

Enjoy.
