Abstract: A method of producing a cap having a plurality of tapered panels and surface ornamented so as to have the appearance of a three dimensional object. Photographs of side views of the object are taken from a plurality of positions spaced at equal angles around the object and the same as the number of panels in the cap, and photographs of the top portions of the object corresponding to the number of side views are also taken. There is then cut from each of the side view photographs of the object a piece corresponding to the developed shape of a panel having the lower edge of the image of the object at the position corresponding to the lower edge of the panel in the cap, and there is cut from each of the top portion photographs of the object further pieces corresponding to the tapered portions of corresponding panels. The pieces are joined for forming composites of the panels of the cap with photographic representations of the three dimensional object thereon.
