3D Puff Embroidery: What You Need to Know

3D Puff Embroidery: What You Need to Know

3D puff embroidery adds dimension to a design by creating a raised, three-dimensional effect. It's especially popular for hats, caps, and bold lettering.

Not Every Design Is Right for 3D Puff

Puff embroidery works best with designs that have bold shapes, clean lines, and lettering that is large enough to stitch clearly. Very small details and fine lettering may not translate well into a raised design.

Size Matters

The finished size of the design affects how well the puff effect works. When you request a quote, include the approximate size you need and let us know if the design will be used on a hat, garment, or another item.

Your Artwork Matters Too

Send the best artwork you have, even if it isn't embroidery-ready. We'll evaluate the design and determine how it can be digitized for the best possible result.
