What Is Puff Printing?
Puff printing utilizes a special ink that expands when cured with heat, resulting in a raised, 3D effect on the garment’s surface.
Why It’s Popular?
It adds volume, tactility, and visual interest to logos, text, or illustrations, widely used in streetwear and premium fashion.

Our Puff Printing Process
Design is adjusted to allow for raised ink behavior and shrink control.
We prepare custom puff ink blends with controlled expansion ratios.
Ink is printed in defined zones using high-mesh screens.
Heat causes the puff additive to rise, creating the 3D texture.
Printed zones are checked for consistency, softness, and print height.
Each garment is checked and folded with protective handling
