What it means

Important design elements are too close to or directly conflict with the cap center seam zone.

Why it matters

Cap seams create major registration and distortion challenges.

Common triggers

  • front-center cap logos
  • tall lettering across seam

Typical fixes

  • move key elements off seam
  • simplify seam-crossing detail
  • test stitch

Notes

  • Cap rules should be explicit, not hidden behind generic placement warnings.
