# What Is 3D Puff HTV?
3D Puff HTV is a specialty heat transfer material that reacts during the heat-pressing process.
Unlike ordinary flat HTV, the material expands to create a:
**Raised**
**Soft**
**Dimensional**
and:
**Textured**
surface.
The difference is easy to see from the side.
**Normal HTV → Flat Surface**
**3D Puff HTV → Raised Surface**
This additional dimension makes even a simple logo or wordmark feel more distinctive.
---
# Why Choose 3D Puff Printing?
A standard printed logo mainly relies on colour and artwork.
3D Puff adds another design element:
**Depth.**
The raised surface creates both a visual and physical difference.
This makes 3D Puff particularly useful when you want:
**A Premium Appearance**
**Stronger Logo Presence**
**Streetwear Styling**
**Raised Typography**
**Minimalist Designs with More Impact**
or:
**A Different Finish from Standard DTF**
A simple one-colour design can become much more interesting when produced in 3D Puff.
---
# What Can We Print with 3D Puff HTV?
3D Puff works best with artwork specifically designed for the material.
Popular applications include:
### Brand Logos
Simple clothing-brand logos can be transformed into raised designs.
### Typography
Bold words and short phrases are excellent applications for Puff HTV.
Examples:
**EVNIX**
**LIMITED**
**ESSENTIAL**
**STUDIO**
**CREW**
**RACING**
### Initials
Minimal initials can create a clean premium look.
### Numbers
Large or small numbers can be used for fashion, events and personalised apparel.
### Symbols
Simple icons and symbols can also work well when designed with suitable thickness.
### Selected Design Elements
The entire artwork does not need to be Puff.
A detailed graphic can use DTF while only selected areas are produced with 3D Puff.
---
# 3D Puff Logo Printing
One of the most popular uses for Puff HTV is a **raised logo**.
Suitable positions can include:
**Left Chest**
**Centre Chest**
**Full Front**
**Full Back**
**Upper Back**
**Sleeve**
and suitable cap positions.
For clothing brands, even a small raised chest logo can create a premium minimalist appearance.
---
# 3D Puff T-Shirt Printing
T-shirts provide many possibilities for Puff HTV.
Popular layouts include:
### Small Left-Chest Puff Logo
A clean choice for:
**Brands**
**Company Merchandise**
**Uniforms**
and:
**Minimalist Apparel**
### Large Centre-Chest Typography
Bold typography can create a strong streetwear appearance.
### Large Back Puff Design
Suitable for simplified:
**Logos**
**Typography**
**Symbols**
and:
**Brand Graphics**
### Front + Back Combination
For example:
**Front → Small 3D Puff Logo**
**Back → Large DTF Graphic**
This allows one garment to combine a premium raised logo with a detailed full-colour graphic.
---
# 3D Puff Oversized T-Shirt Printing
3D Puff works particularly well with **oversized T-shirts and streetwear**.
Oversized garments provide more design space and are often paired with:
**Large Typography**
**Minimal Branding**
**Back Graphics**
**Raised Logos**
and:
**Mixed Printing Techniques**
A popular layout is:
**Front:** Small raised Puff logo
**Back:** Large DTF artwork
or:
**Front:** Large Puff typography
**Back:** Small brand detail
This gives clothing brands more flexibility when developing a complete collection.
---
# 3D Puff Hoodie Printing
Suitable hoodies can also be customised with 3D Puff HTV.
Popular placements include:
**Left Chest**
**Centre Chest**
**Full Back**
**Upper Back**
and:
**Sleeve**
Puff typography can complement the heavier appearance of hoodies particularly well.
Garment construction such as:
**Zippers**
**Pockets**
**Seams**
and:
**Thick Fabric Areas**
must be considered when determining the final print position.
---
# 3D Puff Cap Printing
3D Puff effects are strongly associated with premium cap branding.
Suitable cap designs can include:
**Brand Names**
**Initials**
**Simple Logos**
**Letters**
and:
**Symbols**
However, cap construction, curvature, seams and available pressing areas need to be evaluated before production.
For certain cap projects, **3D Puff embroidery** may also be considered depending on the desired appearance.
It is important to distinguish:
**3D Puff HTV** and **3D Puff Embroidery**
because they are two different production methods.
---
# 3D Puff HTV vs 3D Puff Embroidery
Both can create raised designs, but they produce different results.
## 3D Puff HTV
Uses heat transfer material.
The design is cut from vinyl, weeded and heat applied.
Best suited to suitable:
**Text**
**Logos**
**Shapes**
and:
**Vector Graphics**
## 3D Puff Embroidery
Uses embroidery thread stitched over foam to create raised embroidered areas.
It produces a more traditional stitched appearance and is especially popular for caps.
The correct method depends on:
**Garment**
**Artwork**
**Desired Texture**
**Design Size**
and:
**Final Appearance**
---
# DTF + 3D Puff HTV
One of the most effective ways to use Puff HTV is to combine it with **DTF printing**.
DTF handles detailed artwork extremely well, while Puff creates selected raised elements.
For example:
**Main Illustration → DTF**
**Brand Name → 3D Puff**
or:
**Character Artwork → DTF**
**Large Typography → 3D Puff**
or:
**Full-Colour Back Graphic → DTF**
**Small Front Logo → 3D Puff**
This creates contrast between:
**Flat + Raised**
**Detailed + Simple**
and:
**Colour + Texture**
within the same garment.
---
# Why Combine DTF and 3D Puff?
DTF is suitable for:
**Full Colour**
**Gradients**
**Illustrations**
**Complex Artwork**
**Small Details**
and:
**Photographic Designs**
3D Puff HTV is more suitable for:
**Simple Shapes**
**Bold Typography**
**Logos**
**Symbols**
and:
**Selected Raised Elements**
Instead of trying to create a complicated illustration entirely from Puff HTV, EVNIX can use DTF for the detailed artwork and Puff only where the raised effect adds value.
---
# Example — Streetwear Design
Imagine a black oversized T-shirt with a large illustrated graphic.
### DTF
Main character
Background
Shadows
Colour gradients
Fine details
### 3D Puff
Brand name
Short slogan
Selected symbol
The illustration remains detailed while the brand name physically rises above the garment.
This creates a more premium multi-material appearance.
---
# Example — Minimal Brand T-Shirt
3D Puff does not require complicated artwork.
A simple oversized T-shirt could contain only:
**EVNIX**
across the chest in Puff HTV.
The artwork may be extremely simple, but the raised texture gives it much more presence than ordinary flat text.
This makes Puff particularly suitable for:
**Minimalist Streetwear**
and:
**Premium Brand Merchandise**
---
# Example — Small Front + Large Back
Another popular layout:
### Front
Small **3D Puff brand logo** on the left chest.
### Back
Large **full-colour DTF artwork**.
This gives customers a premium detail when viewing the shirt from the front while keeping the back design visually complex.
---
# 3D Puff for Clothing Brands
3D Puff is especially useful for clothing brands looking to differentiate their apparel.
Possible uses include:
**Brand Logos**
**Limited Edition Collections**
**Streetwear Drops**
**Oversized T-Shirts**
**Premium Merchandise**
**Hoodies**
**Caps**
and:
**Signature Typography**
Puff can become part of a brand's visual identity rather than simply another printing method.
---
# 3D Puff for Company Merchandise
Puff is not limited to streetwear.
Companies can use raised logos for:
**Company Merchandise**
**Corporate Gifts**
**Event Apparel**
**Promotional T-Shirts**
**Team Clothing**
and:
**Premium Staff Apparel**
A simple company logo produced with Puff can give merchandise a different appearance from standard uniform printing.
---
# Simple Artwork Works Best
3D Puff HTV is a **cut-and-weed material**.
The artwork needs to be physically:
**Cut**
**Weeded**
**Positioned**
and:
**Heat Applied**
Therefore, not every artwork is suitable.
The strongest Puff designs normally use:
**Bold Shapes**
**Clean Lines**
**Suitable Spacing**
**Readable Typography**
and:
**Simple Vector Elements**
Very complicated artwork containing hundreds of tiny pieces may not be practical.
---
# Avoid Extremely Thin Details
Very thin lines and tiny elements may not produce the same strong raised appearance as larger, cleaner shapes.
When designing specifically for Puff, it is often better to use:
**Bolder Typography**
**Thicker Shapes**
**Simplified Logos**
and:
**Clear Separation Between Elements**
The artwork should be designed around the characteristics of the material rather than simply converting any existing graphic into Puff.
---
# Vector Artwork Is Preferred
For 3D Puff HTV production, vector artwork is preferred whenever possible.
Suitable formats can include:
**AI**
**EPS**
**SVG**
or suitable:
**PDF**
files containing actual vector paths.
Vector artwork provides clean cutting paths for the vinyl cutter.
---
# What If I Only Have PNG or JPG?
You can still send your artwork to EVNIX.
We can check whether it is suitable for production.
Depending on the artwork, it may need to be:
**Traced**
**Simplified**
**Redrawn**
or:
**Vectorised**
before cutting.
Simple logos and typography are usually easier to prepare than complicated raster graphics.
---
# Puff HTV Is Not Full-Colour Printing
3D Puff HTV should not be confused with DTF.
If your artwork contains:
**Photographs**
**Gradients**
**Shadows**
**Complex Illustrations**
or:
**Many Colours**
DTF will usually be more appropriate for those sections.
Puff should generally be treated as a **special-effect material**.
Use it where the raised texture creates the greatest visual impact.
---
# 3D Puff vs Normal HTV
Normal HTV produces a relatively flat surface.
3D Puff is designed to expand during application.
### Normal HTV
**Flat**
**Clean**
**Good for logos and lettering**
### 3D Puff HTV
**Raised**
**Textured**
**More dimensional**
**Stronger visual depth**
The better option depends on the design concept.
---
# 3D Puff vs DTF
These methods serve different purposes.
### DTF
Best for:
**Detailed Artwork**
**Full Colour**
**Gradients**
**Illustrations**
**Complex Designs**
### 3D Puff HTV
Best for:
**Raised Logos**
**Typography**
**Simple Shapes**
**Special Effects**
There is no need to choose only one.
Many designs benefit from using:
**DTF + 3D Puff**
together.
---
# 3D Puff vs Embroidery
Embroidery creates texture using thread.
3D Puff HTV creates texture using expanding heat transfer material.
Embroidery is particularly suitable for:
**Corporate Logos**
**Polo Shirts**
**Caps**
**Uniforms**
and:
**Premium Traditional Branding**
3D Puff HTV is especially useful for:
**Streetwear**
**T-Shirts**
**Oversized Tees**
**Modern Typography**
and:
**Creative Merchandise**
The visual character of the two methods is different.
---
# Combine 3D Puff with Other HTV Effects
Depending on the artwork, Puff can also be combined with other specialty materials.
Examples include:
**3D Puff + Reflective HTV**
**3D Puff + Glow in the Dark HTV**
**3D Puff + Metallic HTV**
**3D Puff + Glitter HTV**
or:
**3D Puff + DTF**
This allows one design to contain multiple finishes.
For example:
**Brand Name → 3D Puff**
**Small Accent → Reflective**
**Main Graphic → DTF**
The design should be planned carefully because different materials may require different production sequences and application conditions.
---
# Bring Your Own Garment — We Add Your Design
Already have your own apparel?
EVNIX accepts suitable **customer-supplied garments** for 3D Puff customisation.
Possible garments include:
**T-Shirts**
**Oversized T-Shirts**
**Hoodies**
**Polo Shirts**
**Uniforms**
and other suitable apparel.
**Bring your garment — we add your design.**
Before production, the garment may need to be evaluated for:
**Fabric Type**
**Heat Tolerance**
**Surface Texture**
**Coating**
**Seams**
and:
**Print Position**
Because EVNIX does not control the manufacture, dyeing, treatment or previous handling of customer-supplied garments, they are processed at the customer's risk.
Testing may be recommended for unfamiliar, expensive or heat-sensitive garments.
---
# Garment Compatibility
3D Puff HTV can be applied to many suitable garments, but compatibility depends on the actual material.
Common possibilities include:
**Cotton**
**Cotton Blends**
**T-Shirts**
**Oversized T-Shirts**
**Hoodies**
**Polo Shirts**
and other suitable apparel.
Some materials require additional evaluation.
---
# Polyester & Heat-Sensitive Garments
Polyester and certain performance garments may require additional care.
Potential considerations include:
**Heat Sensitivity**
**Dye Migration**
**Surface Treatments**
and:
**Garment Construction**
Not every garment reacts to heat in the same way.
For unfamiliar polyester garments, testing may be recommended before bulk production.
---
# Coated & Waterproof Garments
Some jackets and performance garments contain:
**Water-Repellent Coatings**
**Special Finishes**
or:
**Heat-Sensitive Surfaces**
These treatments can affect adhesion and heat application.
The actual garment should therefore be checked before confirming Puff HTV suitability.
---
# Small Quantity 3D Puff Printing
Need only a sample or small quantity?
3D Puff is suitable for:
**Samples**
**Prototype Designs**
**Personalised Apparel**
**Small Clothing Brand Drops**
**Product Testing**
and:
**Small Quantity Orders**
This allows brands to evaluate the design before committing to larger production.
---
# Bulk 3D Puff Printing
EVNIX can also handle larger 3D Puff projects.
For bulk orders, it is recommended to confirm:
**Artwork**
**Garment**
**Puff Colour**
**Print Size**
**Position**
and:
**Overall Appearance**
before full production.
Depending on the project, a sample may be produced first.
---
# Popular 3D Puff Print Positions
### Left Chest
Excellent for small premium logos.
### Centre Chest
Suitable for larger brand names and typography.
### Full Front
Suitable for bold statement designs.
### Full Back
Suitable for large simplified artwork and lettering.
### Upper Back
Useful for brand names and short text.
### Sleeve
Suitable for smaller secondary branding.
The available area depends on the actual garment.
---
# Designing for a Better Puff Effect
For stronger results, consider:
**Use Bold Artwork**
**Avoid Extremely Fine Lines**
**Keep Shapes Clean**
**Allow Enough Space Between Elements**
**Use Puff Selectively**
and:
**Design Specifically for the Raised Effect**
The strongest Puff designs are often not the most complicated.
A simple logo with good proportions can produce a much stronger result than a highly detailed graphic.
---
# Don't Make Everything Puff
A premium design does not necessarily require every element to be raised.
Often, using Puff only on one important element creates more contrast.
For example:
**Large Graphic → DTF**
**Brand Name → Puff**
or:
**Main Typography → Puff**
**Small Supporting Text → DTF**
This allows the raised section to become the focal point.
---
# 3D Puff Printing for Streetwear
Puff HTV is particularly suited to:
**Streetwear**
**Oversized Fashion**
**Minimalist Apparel**
**Automotive Clothing**
**Racing-Inspired Apparel**
**Gaming Merchandise**
**Creative Brands**
and:
**Limited Edition Collections**
The raised texture can be integrated into the design from the beginning rather than added as an afterthought.
---
# Our Customisation Methods
Depending on your project, EVNIX can combine 3D Puff with:
**DTF Printing**
**Standard HTV**
**Reflective HTV**
**Glow in the Dark HTV**
**Metallic HTV**

**Silicone HTV**
and:
**Embroidery**
This allows us to choose the production method according to the artwork and desired effect.
---

# Add Real Dimension to Your Design
Ordinary printing gives your artwork colour.
**3D Puff gives it depth.**

to create contrast between colour, texture and dimension.
EVNIX provides **Custom 3D Puff Printing Malaysia** for T-shirts, oversized tees, hoodies, streetwear, clothing brands, merchandise and suitable customer-supplied garments.

and:
**Signature Typography**
Puff can become part of a brand's visual identity rather than simply another printing method.

# 3D Puff for Company Merchandise
Puff is not limited to streetwear.
Companies can use raised logos for:
**Company Merchandise**
**Corporate Gifts**
**Event Apparel**
**Promotional T-Shirts**
**Team Clothing**
and:
**Premium Staff Apparel**
A simple company logo produced with Puff can give merchandise a different appearance from standard uniform printing.
---
# Simple Artwork Works Best
3D Puff HTV is a **cut-and-weed material**.
The artwork needs to be physically:
**Cut**
**Weeded**
**Positioned**
and:
**Heat Applied**
Therefore, not every artwork is suitable.
The strongest Puff designs normally use:
**Bold Shapes**
**Clean Lines**
**Suitable Spacing**
**Readable Typography**
and:
**Simple Vector Elements**
Very complicated artwork containing hundreds of tiny pieces may not be practical.
---
# Avoid Extremely Thin Details
Very thin lines and tiny elements may not produce the same strong raised appearance as larger, cleaner shapes.
When designing specifically for Puff, it is often better to use:
**Bolder Typography**
**Thicker Shapes**
**Simplified Logos**
and:
**Clear Separation Between Elements**
The artwork should be designed around the characteristics of the material rather than simply converting any existing graphic into Puff.
---
# Vector Artwork Is Preferred
For 3D Puff HTV production, vector artwork is preferred whenever possible.
Suitable formats can include:
**AI**
**EPS**
**SVG**
or suitable:
**PDF**
files containing actual vector paths.
Vector artwork provides clean cutting paths for the vinyl cutter.
---
# What If I Only Have PNG or JPG?
You can still send your artwork to EVNIX.
We can check whether it is suitable for production.
Depending on the artwork, it may need to be:
**Traced**
**Simplified**
**Redrawn**
or:
**Vectorised**
before cutting.
Simple logos and typography are usually easier to prepare than complicated raster graphics.
---
# Puff HTV Is Not Full-Colour Printing
3D Puff HTV should not be confused with DTF.
If your artwork contains:
**Photographs**
**Gradients**
**Shadows**
**Complex Illustrations**
or:
**Many Colours**
DTF will usually be more appropriate for those sections.
Puff should generally be treated as a **special-effect material**.
Use it where the raised texture creates the greatest visual impact.
---
# 3D Puff vs Normal HTV
Normal HTV produces a relatively flat surface.
3D Puff is designed to expand during application.
### Normal HTV
**Flat**
**Clean**
**Good for logos and lettering**
### 3D Puff HTV
**Raised**
**Textured**
**More dimensional**
**Stronger visual depth**
The better option depends on the design concept.
---
# 3D Puff vs DTF
These methods serve different purposes.
### DTF
Best for:
**Detailed Artwork**
**Full Colour**
**Gradients**
**Illustrations**
**Complex Designs**
### 3D Puff HTV
Best for:
**Raised Logos**
**Typography**
**Simple Shapes**
**Special Effects**
There is no need to choose only one.
Many designs benefit from using:
**DTF + 3D Puff**
together.
---
# 3D Puff vs Embroidery
Embroidery creates texture using thread.
3D Puff HTV creates texture using expanding heat transfer material.
Embroidery is particularly suitable for:
**Corporate Logos**
**Polo Shirts**
**Caps**
**Uniforms**
and:
**Premium Traditional Branding**
3D Puff HTV is especially useful for:
**Streetwear**
**T-Shirts**
**Oversized Tees**
**Modern Typography**
and:
**Creative Merchandise**
The visual character of the two methods is different.
---
# Combine 3D Puff with Other HTV Effects
Depending on the artwork, Puff can also be combined with other specialty materials.
Examples include:
**3D Puff + Reflective HTV**
**3D Puff + Glow in the Dark HTV**
**3D Puff + Metallic HTV**
**3D Puff + Glitter HTV**
or:
**3D Puff + DTF**
This allows one design to contain multiple finishes.
For example:
**Brand Name → 3D Puff**
**Small Accent → Reflective**
**Main Graphic → DTF**
The design should be planned carefully because different materials may require different production sequences and application conditions.
---
# Bring Your Own Garment — We Add Your Design
Already have your own apparel?
EVNIX accepts suitable **customer-supplied garments** for 3D Puff customisation.
Possible garments include:
**T-Shirts**
**Oversized T-Shirts**
**Hoodies**
**Polo Shirts**
**Uniforms**
and other suitable apparel.
**Bring your garment — we add your design.**
Before production, the garment may need to be evaluated for:
**Fabric Type**
**Heat Tolerance**
**Surface Texture**
**Coating**
**Seams**
and:
**Print Position**
Because EVNIX does not control the manufacture, dyeing, treatment or previous handling of customer-supplied garments, they are processed at the customer's risk.
Testing may be recommended for unfamiliar, expensive or heat-sensitive garments.
---
# Garment Compatibility
3D Puff HTV can be applied to many suitable garments, but compatibility depends on the actual material.
Common possibilities include:
**Cotton**
**Cotton Blends**
**T-Shirts**
**Oversized T-Shirts**
**Hoodies**
**Polo Shirts**
and other suitable apparel.
Some materials require additional evaluation.
---
# Polyester & Heat-Sensitive Garments
Polyester and certain performance garments may require additional care.
Potential considerations include:
**Heat Sensitivity**
**Dye Migration**
**Surface Treatments**
and:
**Garment Construction**
Not every garment reacts to heat in the same way.
For unfamiliar polyester garments, testing may be recommended before bulk production.
---
# Coated & Waterproof Garments
Some jackets and performance garments contain:
**Water-Repellent Coatings**
**Special Finishes**
or:
**Heat-Sensitive Surfaces**
These treatments can affect adhesion and heat application.
The actual garment should therefore be checked before confirming Puff HTV suitability.
---
# Small Quantity 3D Puff Printing
Need only a sample or small quantity?
3D Puff is suitable for:
**Samples**
**Prototype Designs**
**Personalised Apparel**
**Small Clothing Brand Drops**
**Product Testing**
and:
**Small Quantity Orders**
This allows brands to evaluate the design before committing to larger production.
---
# Bulk 3D Puff Printing
EVNIX can also handle larger 3D Puff projects.
For bulk orders, it is recommended to confirm:
**Artwork**
**Garment**
**Puff Colour**
**Print Size**
**Position**
and:
**Overall Appearance**
before full production.
Depending on the project, a sample may be produced first.
---
# Popular 3D Puff Print Positions
### Left Chest
Excellent for small premium logos.
### Centre Chest
Suitable for larger brand names and typography.
### Full Front
Suitable for bold statement designs.
### Full Back
Suitable for large simplified artwork and lettering.
### Upper Back
Useful for brand names and short text.
### Sleeve
Suitable for smaller secondary branding.
The available area depends on the actual garment.
---
# Designing for a Better Puff Effect
For stronger results, consider:
**Use Bold Artwork**
**Avoid Extremely Fine Lines**
**Keep Shapes Clean**
**Allow Enough Space Between Elements**
**Use Puff Selectively**
and:
**Design Specifically for the Raised Effect**
The strongest Puff designs are often not the most complicated.
A simple logo with good proportions can produce a much stronger result than a highly detailed graphic.
---
# Don't Make Everything Puff
A premium design does not necessarily require every element to be raised.
Often, using Puff only on one important element creates more contrast.
For example:
**Large Graphic → DTF**
**Brand Name → Puff**
or:
**Main Typography → Puff**
**Small Supporting Text → DTF**
This allows the raised section to become the focal point.
---
# 3D Puff Printing for Streetwear
Puff HTV is particularly suited to:
**Streetwear**
**Oversized Fashion**
**Minimalist Apparel**
**Automotive Clothing**
**Racing-Inspired Apparel**
**Gaming Merchandise**
**Creative Brands**
and:
**Limited Edition Collections**
The raised texture can be integrated into the design from the beginning rather than added as an afterthought.
---
# Our Customisation Methods
Depending on your project, EVNIX can combine 3D Puff with:
**DTF Printing**
**Standard HTV**
**Reflective HTV**
**Glow in the Dark HTV**
**Metallic HTV**
**Glitter HTV**
**Silicone HTV**
and:
**Embroidery**
This allows us to choose the production method according to the artwork and desired effect.
---

# Frequently Asked Questions
## What is 3D Puff HTV?
3D Puff HTV is a specialty heat transfer material that expands during heat application to create a raised effect.
## Is 3D Puff the same as normal HTV?
No. Standard HTV remains relatively flat, while Puff HTV is designed to expand and create additional thickness.
## Is 3D Puff the same as embroidery?
No. Puff HTV uses heat transfer material. Embroidery uses thread. 3D Puff embroidery is another separate technique using embroidery and foam.
## Can you make my logo 3D Puff?
Yes, if the artwork is suitable for cutting and Puff production. Simple, bold logos generally work best.
## Can you print 3D Puff on T-shirts?
Yes, suitable T-shirts are one of the main applications.
## Can you print Puff on oversized T-shirts?
Yes. Oversized T-shirts are particularly suitable for streetwear-style Puff designs.
## Can you print Puff on hoodies?
Yes, subject to the hoodie material and print position.
## Can you do 3D Puff on caps?
Certain cap applications may be possible depending on the cap construction and design. 3D Puff embroidery may also be an alternative for cap branding.
## Can I combine DTF and 3D Puff?
Yes. DTF can produce the detailed artwork while Puff is used for selected raised elements.
## Can Puff print full-colour photographs?
No. Puff HTV is better suited to simple cuttable artwork. Detailed full-colour artwork is better handled with DTF.
## Do I need vector artwork?
Vector artwork is preferred. If you only have PNG or JPG, EVNIX can review whether the design can be prepared for Puff production.
## Can I use very small text?
Very small or thin details may not be ideal for a strong Puff effect. Artwork should be evaluated before production.
## Can I bring my own T-shirt?
Yes. Suitable customer-supplied garments can be accepted, subject to material and heat compatibility.
## Can I order a sample first?
Yes, sample production can be considered, particularly for clothing brands and larger projects.
## Do you accept bulk orders?
Yes. EVNIX can produce both small and bulk 3D Puff projects depending on the design and garment.

# Add Real Dimension to Your Design
Ordinary printing gives your artwork colour.
**3D Puff gives it depth.**
A simple logo, word or symbol can become much more noticeable when it physically rises from the garment surface.
For even more creative designs, combine:
**Detailed DTF Artwork + Raised 3D Puff Elements**
to create contrast between colour, texture and dimension.
EVNIX provides **Custom 3D Puff Printing Malaysia** for T-shirts, oversized tees, hoodies, streetwear, clothing brands, merchandise and suitable customer-supplied garments.
Send your **artwork + quantity + garment + print size + position + areas you want in 3D Puff** for quotation and artwork evaluation.
