PF – PUFF 3D HEAT TRANSFER VINYL

PF PUFF HTV is a special foaming vinyl that expands under heat, creating a soft, raised, rounded 3D surface. It reproduces the popular vintage puff-print look without screen-printing equipment.

PUFF is ideal for retro typography, kids' apparel, hoodies, caps and merch where a playful, touchable effect sells.

The secret is light pressure

Unlike other HTV, PUFF needs light pressure – heavy pressure prevents the foam from rising. Press for 8–10 seconds, peel the carrier cold, then (optionally) re-press for 3–5 seconds without a cover sheet, hovering the platen, to let the puff rise fully.
