3D Puff Embroidered Hats

How 3D Puff Embroidery is Achieved

3D puff, cap embroidery uses a foam base to achieve a three dimensional effect. The foam comes in black & white with two thickness’ 2mm and 3mm to accommodate various products. Raised 3D cap embroidery requires the thread or stitch count to tripple, so that the foam will not be exposed through the thread.

3D cap embroidery works best with block or large round shaped letters. Artwork for puff embroidery should have slightly rounded corners so that the needle perforates the corners of the design and covers the foam completely making your design come alive.

Good spacing between letters or shapes is also required with 3d puff embroidery as the foam causes the shapes to expand which in turn closes spacing ie: letters will touch if spacing is not correct.
Avoid embroidering over puff as it will flatten the puff beneath it.
Graphics lines should be between 3mm and 10mm in thickness. Lines under 3mm can still be embroidered with puff but the puff will not be as high or wide as the 10mm. The thinner the line, the less puff effect.
Puff 3D does not work successfully with complex detailed designs or lines under 2.5mm or over 12mm.

Minimum Order Quantity for Custom Puff Hats

We get asked this question a lot: What is the minimum amount of caps that can be ordered with my custom design 3D embroidered on them?

The answer is 1, BUT and this is a big ‘BUT’. The cost of the 1 Custom Cap is expensive as the cap takes on the entire setup cost of the specialised 3D digitising, the setup of 1 embroidery machine to run a single cap with all the tests to make sure it’s as perfect it can be and this all takes time which adds up.

PANEL STYLES

Choosing the correct panel style to fit with your design and logo positioning is vital. On the 6 panel hats, you’ll notice that the seem runs down the centre of available embroidery area which can sometimes make it a bit tricky if you have intricate designs.

DIFFERENT CLOSURES

There are many different styles of closures on the caps. Traditional New Era/Yupoong hats have a ‘flexfit’ style whereby you have to choose the size that best fits your head size. Then there are the ‘snapback’ and ‘strapback’ styles where you can adjust the size to suit.

embroidery locations

The most common area of embroidery is directly onto the front of the cap. These can be in both flat stitch and 3D embroidery. Another popular area is the back arch of the cap, especially good to write your slogan here. Both sides of the cap can be embroidered too but this is a very limited area.

For very special, ‘one-off’ orders – we also offer embroidery onto the top side and underside of the peak. We can also offer the option of a heat transfer vinyl print to the top side & underside of the peak
