Product Description

3D (or "puffy") embroidery ๐Ÿงต is similar to standard embroidery, but with a twist! A special layer of dense foam is placed under the embroidery to create that cool "puffy" effect. ๐ŸŽจ

What you need to know ๐Ÿค”

3D embroidery works best on thick, firm fabrics, making it ideal for items like caps ๐Ÿงข hoodies, jumpers and jackets ๐Ÿงฅ

  • Itโ€™s not suitable for lightweight fabrics like t shirts and polo tops ๐Ÿ™…

Design Requirements

To achieve the best ๐Ÿฅ‡ results, your artwork should be:

  • Simple with thick lines and solid fills, think blocky and bold!


Pros of 3D Embroidery:

  • High perceived value ๐Ÿ†

  • Great aesthetic appeal with the right artwork ๐ŸŽจ

  • Flexible most file formats can be converted to 3D, although EPS is preferred.

Cons of 3D Embroidery:

  • Not suitable for fine details in artwork ๐Ÿ”

  • No gradient colour fades, as thread is a solid colour ๐ŸŽจ

  • Text must be at least 12mm in height (smaller text wonโ€™t work!) ๐Ÿ“

  • Minimum line thickness of 3mm & maximum thickness of 7mm

  • Requires a stitch fill base under the main artwork for best results ๐Ÿงต

  • More expensive ๐Ÿ’ต then standard embroidery
