Should 2D embroidery complement the 3D embroidery?
Preferably lettering on the back of the caps. Is that possible?
Of course!
It's about to start at StickManufaktur is about to start processing the order. The employees ask for the logo to be sent to them. Great, a vector file. They ask for Pantone or HKS values.

"We would like a metallic effect thread," writes the customer, the boss of a medium-sized company. Soon, all the specifications are in.
They are collected and sent to the graphic designer, who simulates a 3D embroidered cap.

Many also use 3D embroidery to discreetly advertise their company. What makes it so special?

3D embroidery - the supreme discipline among textile finishes

3D – it sounds like visual experiences, fascinating technology, movies, printers, innovation. With 3D embroidery , computer-controlled embroidery machines convert an embroidery program into embroidery that is reliable, precise, and fast, and which gains a three-dimensional look thanks to its depth.

Although highly modern, machine 3D embroidery goes back to the old hand embroidery form of relief embroidery. And even today, a person still provides the assistance that the machine needs to work: the puncher.

The Puncher creates the embroidery programme

Back to the StickManufaktur. Now the simulation goes to the puncher. The embroidery program specialist opens it in his embroidery software. He creates the logo as a 3D embroidery design and, with just a few clicks, creates an embroidery program. embroidery program. A great deal of expertise is required here to ensure that the embroidery is attractive, robust, and durable. In addition, thecap with the logoshould not look cheap or even obtrusive at the company run. The embroidery program is now ready. A sample is photographed and sent to the customer. How will she react to the first attempt? Will she like it?

What is the effect of a 3D stick?

Whether logos, lettering, number sequences, coats of arms, or other motifs—3D embroidery gives them depth. It makes them tactilely interesting, visually memorable, and catches the eye, especially when the colors are bright. Since the highest quality embroidery can be achieved by machine, 3D embroidery has a high-quality look and feel. This makes it ideal for textiles used in branding or corporate design. Like caps, for example.

3D effect thanks to Puffy

In the meantime, their approval has arrived. The branded cap can go into production. Now the puffy comes into play. What sounds funny is a foam material that creates the 3D effect. It is fixed to the cap, and the embroidery machine begins to embroider, perforating the puffy with countless, closely spaced stitches. Slowly, the customer's logo emerges on the cap. When the embroidery is finished, the employee removes the cap from the clamping device. He picks off the unembroidered part of the puffy. It's a bit like removing dough when cutting out cookies – Christmas is coming. He cuts off any protruding threads. Done. After a production time of around 14 days, the caps are ready to go. Good luck for the company run!
