3d puff heat transfer vinyl
3D puff heat transfer vinyl is a specialized material designed to create raised, dimensional designs on fabric surfaces. This innovative product transforms ordinary garments into eye-catching pieces with a unique textured appearance. When applied with heat, the vinyl expands to create a raised, foam-like effect that adds depth and dimension to designs. The material consists of multiple layers, including a carrier sheet, adhesive layer, and the expandable vinyl material. The technology behind this product relies on heat-activated compounds that cause controlled expansion, resulting in a consistent and durable raised effect. It's compatible with various fabric types, including cotton, polyester, and cotton-poly blends. The application process typically requires a heat press set at specific temperature and pressure settings, usually around 305-320°F, with application times varying between 10-15 seconds. The material expands up to 3mm in height, creating a distinctive pop-up effect that's both visually striking and tactile. It's particularly popular in sports apparel, team uniforms, promotional merchandise, and custom clothing designs. The durability of 3D puff heat transfer vinyl ensures that designs maintain their dimensional stability through multiple washes, making it a reliable choice for both commercial and personal use.
