About the Technique
3D embroidery is a method where a special foam (3D foam) is placed under the stitched areas. As the machine embroiders, the thread covers and shapes the foam, creating a pronounced raised effect.
This results in a logo that appears bold, sculpted and three-dimensional, becoming a central visual feature of the item.
The technique is chosen when the brand needs to be noticed, remembered, and present with confidence.

Visual Result
The logo has a clearly raised, tactile surface.
Colors appear deeper and more saturated because the relief changes the way light interacts with the thread.
The effect is modern, distinctive and premium, suitable for brands with strong identity and expressive aesthetics.

Advantages

• Strong visual presence and impactful depth.
• Durable in everyday wear and washing conditions.
• Conveys value, character and recognizability.
• Ideal for logos with bold, clean shapes.

Suitable Products

• Baseball caps and structured caps, where the logo is the key element.
• Hoodies, sportswear and streetwear collections.
• Textile accessories such as bags and backpacks.
• Boutique and fashion apparel with expressive brand positioning.

When It Works Bes​​​​​​​t

When the logo design has thicker lines and solid shapes rather than very fine details.
When the brand aims for high visibility and a confident presence on the product.

Design Considerations

3D embroidery is not recommended for very small text or intricate details, as the raised structure requires clear, strong shapes to achieve a clean result.
The best outcomes are achieved with bold typography, compact symbols and simplified logo forms, ensuring clear edges and an elegant, dimensional finish.

 

Environmental Aspects

3D embroidery uses thread and foam only, without inks or chemical solvents, making the process clean and environmentally considerate.
Its long-lasting durability reduces the need for frequent product replacements, contributing to sustainable usage over time.
