3D puff embroidery baseball cap mockup

See your logo as 3D puff embroidery on a baseball cap. 3D puff is embroidery stitched over a layer of foam, so the logo stands off the fabric. PreviewFly builds that height from your logo's shape and lights it with the photo's own light: the tops of the columns catch the highlight, the sides drop into shadow.

3D puff embroidery on a baseball cap: what to know

Scale The baseball cap is drawn at its real size Size your logo on the product itself; the process's height and texture follow the real scale.
In the render Height A layer of foam under the thread. Narrow strokes become rounded columns; wide shapes get a flatter top with rounded shoulders.
In the render Light Highlights land on the column tops, the sides shade, and the fabric around the logo gets a soft contact shadow.
In the render Parallax Seen at an angle, a raised logo slides a little against the fabric, the way real puff does.
In the render Thread Your colours become a palette of up to 8 threads. The letterforms are never redrawn.
Artwork Bold, simple shapes puff well; keep hairlines and small text in flat embroidery.
Artwork Transparent PNG or SVG: clean edges become clean columns.
Artwork Set the real width; foam height and stitch scale follow it.

3D puff embroidery on a baseball cap, asked often

Puff embroidery or puff print?

Puff print is a raised ink that looks the same as an embroidered patch in a photo, so PreviewFly renders puff print requests as patches. Puff embroidery is thread over foam and stays its own process.

Can I puff small text?

Not on a real machine: fine detail doesn't hold foam. PreviewFly renders the file you give it, so check the result closely and keep small text flat.
