3D or "puffy" embroidery is very similar to a standard embroidery however 3D embroidery has a special layer of dense foam placed under the embroidery to create the "puffy" effect.
3D embroidery needs a firm base fabric to sit on & generally doesn't hold up well when washed. So therefore is only suitable for caps.
To achieve a good result the artwork needs to be fairly simple, be a single colour & have plenty of wide lines & filled areas. (ie thick & blocky).
Pros :
- has a high perceived value
- looks great with the right artwork
- long life span compared to other branding methods
- most file formats can be converted to 3D embroidery, however EPS is best.
Cons :
- doesn't work if there is any fine detail in the artwork
- can't produce gradient colour fades, as thread is a solid colour
- text needs to be at least 12mm in height
- can only be produced on caps

Pricing & Minimums :
Pricing for 3D embroidery is determined by:

- The quantity of the same embroidery being run at any one time
When we see your artwork, & clarify what you want, we will determine the stitch count & email you a personalised quote based on your specific artwork.
Minimum Order Quantities :
For new and repeat artwork : 12 caps
Maximum Brandable Area :
- 65mm height x 90mm length
Artwork Format :
- EPS is best with fonts created to outlines. But with embroidery most hi res artwork files will do the job!
New Artwork Approval Method :
For new customers or existing customers with new artwork your 3D Embroidery branding setup fee covers the cost of producing a physical sample stitch out of your logo on a swatch of fabric* for approval. Once approved your artwork is stored in our machine for future use. You won't need to pay any repeat order setup fees, unless you change or modify your artwork or branding method.
*Please note : the stitch out is prepared on sampling fabric which won't be the same fabric as your caps. The stitch out is an exact "stitch out" of how your logo will be on your completed caps. Exact means, same size, same colour, same everything.
