How To Use Puff Embroidery For Creative Apparel

Puff embroidery, also known as 3D embroidery, is a technique that uses foam to give the design a raised, three-dimensional look.  The foam is placed under the design, and the embroidery machine stitches over it to create this interactive effect. It’s a creative way of adding style, finesse, and dimension to your caps, jackets, and other apparel.

Why Use Puff Embroidery for Branded Merchandise?

  1. Unique and Eye-catching

    The three-dimensional nature of puff embroidery makes the design pop, drawing attention to your brand and giving it a lasting impression.

  2. Professional and High-quality

    Puff embroidery gives your design a high-end look and reflects professionalism, class and style.

  3. Durable

    The thick, raised stitches of puff embroidery are more resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that your merch will stand the test of time.

Choose the Right Design & Material

To achieve the best results with puff embroidery, it's essential to select a design that will work well with the technique and material you decide to use. 

  1. Simplicity

    Simple designs with bold, thick lines work best for puff embroidery. This is because more intricate designs may not be reflect certain details when the foam is added.

  2. Size

    Puff embroidery generally works better with smaller designs, or with a larger design that is made up of (or contains) line-work elements & thin fonts. It only works when using a Satin stitch, which can only be so thick.

  3. Fabric

    Puff embroidery works best on sturdy apparel items e.g. canvas, heavy tees, etc. Lightweight or stretchy materials, are not recommended as they may not be able to support the foam which could lead to distortion or puckering.
