3D puff
Raised, dimensional stitching that pops.
Foam under the stitch lifts your mark off the fabric, made for hats and bold logos.
What 3d puff is
3D puff embroidery places a layer of foam under the stitching so the mark rises off the fabric with a bold, dimensional edge. It is the look you see on structured caps and athletic gear, where a raised logo reads instantly from across a room.
Puff rewards bold, simple shapes over fine detail, so we prep your art for lift before stitching. The foam is fully encased by the thread, then any excess is heat-removed for a clean, crisp raised finish that holds its shape.
Good to know
- Made for structured caps, beanies and bold monograms.
- Bold shapes work best; very fine text is limited.
- Foam is fully covered, so nothing shows through.
- Pairs well with flat embroidery on the same order.
How it works
- 01
Simplify the mark
Bold, clean shapes lift best, so we prep and adjust your art for the raised look.
- 02
Lay the foam
Foam is placed on the garment exactly where the stitch should rise.
- 03
Stitch over it
Dense stitching wraps and fully covers the foam to create the 3D edge.
- 04
Clean up
Excess foam is heat-removed for a crisp raised finish, then each piece is checked.
