3D Puff Embroidery on Custom Hats
Raised, dimensional logos that stand out. Available on all hat placements. +$5 per hat.
What Is 3D Puff Embroidery?
3D Puff embroidery places a foam pad under the thread before stitching, creating a raised, dimensional effect. The result is a logo or text that stands off the hat surface — bolder, more eye-catching, and widely perceived as a premium finish.

When to Choose 3D Puff
- Your logo is bold with clean edges and minimal fine detail
- You want the hat to look premium or stand out at events
- You’re using block letters, large numbers, or a simple icon

- You need detail-accurate reproduction
- Budget is a consideration (saves $5/hat)
