Which designs suit 3D puff?
Bold shapes and chunky lettering. The raised effect needs width to stand up, so very fine lines and small text are better flat embroidered or printed.

3D Puff Embroidery & Print
3D puff raises your logo off the garment. Puff embroidery stitches over a foam layer for a raised, sculpted logo, most often on caps and hoodies; puff print uses an ink that rises as it cures for a soft, raised texture on hoodies and tees.

Products we decorate this way
Puff embroidery or puff print?
Puff embroidery is stitched and very durable, and it is the classic look on caps. Puff print is softer and can cover larger areas on hoodies and tees.
Where does 3D puff work best?
The front panel of a cap, and chest or sleeve logos on hoodies. We check your artwork and show the effect on a mockup first.
