Frequently Asked Questions about DTF Transfers

Yes! While it is way more popular to do puff on hats, we are able to do it on other items. The longevity of puff can be compromised the more the item is washed, so we do suggest puff ink instead if possible.

Foam is applied to your item between the hat and embroidery giving it a nice raised look. Check out our pictures, its hard to describe, but easy to see.

We like to keep it simple - standard embroidery is flat where as puff embroidery has a raised look. It looks just like it sounds - more 3D! Check out our process videos to see us creating puff embroidered designs.

It might! Without looking at your specific logo or design, its really hard to say. We are happy to review it at any time and advise if it would work, or what would need changed to make it work. We usually have an idea or two to do something about your design puffed up.

Simply put, puff embroidery is embroidery that has a layer of foam placed between the hat and the embroidery. When the embroidery is applied, the foam raises up the embroidery giving it a 3D effect.

Yes! There are additional materials and steps involved in the process of applying puff stitching, so additional fees do apply. On average, you'll spend about $3.00 more per hat.

Yes! Puff embroidery is not limited to just the front of the hat. We have sew it on the left front panels, the side, the back and even all locations on the same hat.
