What Is Puff Print?

In the ever-evolving world of personalised clothing, texture is as important as design for maintaining your style edge. This is why we introduce you to puff print, a fascinating method that gives your clothes a tactile depth and makes them visually arresting and one-of-a-kind. You know, we have to admit that puff prints are pretty damned cool when they come off our production line. And we are 100% sure you’ll like them just like we do.

An elevated, three-dimensional appearance is produced on printed images using the puff print process, a speciality in screen printing. Unlike conventional flat prints, puff prints use an ink that contains a puffing ingredient to provide texture
and depth.

The raised surface that gives your garments a unique sensory sensation is created when the ink expands throughout the design giving you a sensory experience for your clothing.

How Do We Do It?
Puff print has a straightforward yet clever method. The puffing ingredient in the printing ink is usually a material that swells in the presence of heat.

After the cloth has been screen-printed with the pattern, heat is applied to dry it. The puffing is activated by this heat,
which causes the ink to rise and it expand, creating that delightful bubble-like 3D effect.

       

Puff prints convert ordinary designs into unique sensory experiences. The raised texture in the design engages the sense of touch. Additionally, it also adds interactive and dynamic elements to your clothes. This visually appealing elevates your overall wearing experience.

Puff print offers a unique aesthetic in a market flooded with standard flat prints. This particular type of print just adds a different dimension to your T-shirt, Hoodie, Sweatshirt or Oversized. From creating the texture of a background or adding a different layer to a graphic, this technique allows the raised effect that draws attention to the design you are wearing, ensuring every detail is highlighted. It’s like, combining style with distinctive aesthetics which creates eye-catching detail for those looking to make a memorable impact with their custom apparel.

Puff print has a reputation for being long-lasting. In addition to providing visual appeal, the raised texture extends the design's life. The puff print keeps looking bright even after several washes and multiple wears, so your personalized clothing will always be a permanent statement of your style.

Here comes the thing that may disappoint you a bit. There are only limited designs that can be printed on puff. Puff screen printing works best with simple and bold designs. Complex designs with fine detail don’t usually translate well into the technique. The thin lines will fill in as the ink puffs and expands when printed. So, we can only get you some selective designs which go best with puff requirements. And trust me, some designs are just born for puff-printing.

Turn Garments Inside Out: Before tossing your puff print apparel into the washing machine, turn the garments inside out. This simple step helps protect the raised texture from direct friction with other fabrics during the wash cycle.

Use Gentle Cycles: Opt for a gentle or delicate wash cycle. Harsh washing cycles can subject the fabric to unnecessary stress, potentially affecting the longevity of the puff print.

Mild Detergents: Choose a mild detergent to preserve the colours and texture of your custom apparel. Harsh chemicals can expedite fabric wear and puff print wear and tear.

Air-Dry Preferably: While it might be tempting to speed up the drying process using a tumble dryer, air-drying is preferred for puff print apparel. Hang your garments to dry naturally to prevent excessive heat exposure.

Low Heat Setting if Using Dryer: If using a dryer is unavoidable, set it to a low heat or delicate setting. High temperatures can compromise the raised texture, so it's crucial to err on caution.

Turn Inside Out Before Ironing: Turn the garment inside out when ironing puff print apparel. This safeguards the raised texture from direct contact with the iron, reducing the risk of distortion.

Avoid High Heat: Opt for a low to medium heat setting on your iron. Excessive heat can cause the puff print to lose shape, affecting the design's texture and overall appearance.

Following these care instructions ensures that your puff print apparel remains a long-lasting showcase of style and creativity. Implementing these simple guidelines will preserve the raised texture, allowing you to enjoy the unique charm of your custom garments for years to come.
