At Starhawk, our Puff Print service creates raised, three-dimensional graphics that stand prominently above the fabric surface. Using specialized puff inks and controlled printing techniques, we produce bold logos, lettering, and artwork with enhanced depth and texture for brands, private-label collections, sportswear, streetwear, and professional apparel programs.

Built for Dimensional Branding

Puff printing adds visual depth and a tactile finish to conventional screen-printed graphics. When heated, specialized puff ink expands to create a raised surface that gives logos, typography, and selected artwork a distinctive three-dimensional appearance.

Starhawk works from your approved artwork, garment specifications, colors, print dimensions, and placement requirements to produce consistent dimensional graphics across your production run.

Our Puff Print Production Process

01 — Artwork Review

We review your artwork, dimensions, colors, garment type, print location, and desired dimensional effect before production begins.

02 — Artwork Preparation

Approved artwork is prepared for screen printing with the required color separation, dimensions, and puff-print specifications.

03 — Ink Selection

Suitable puff ink is selected according to the garment material, artwork requirements, desired height, color, and overall finish.

04 — Screen Preparation

Printing screens are prepared and configured according to the approved artwork and required print specifications.

05 — Printing

Puff ink is applied to the garment using controlled screen-printing techniques to achieve accurate coverage, placement, and graphic definition.

06 — Heat Curing

The printed garment is cured under controlled conditions, allowing the puff ink to expand and develop its intended raised texture.

Finished prints are inspected for graphic accuracy, puff height, color consistency, placement, surface quality, and overall appearance.
