CUSTOM PUFF PRINT T-SHIRTS MANUFACTURER
Raised, textured puff print t-shirts with a foaming ink finish, printed and finished in-house with a low minimum order of 50 pieces per design.
Custom Puff Print T-Shirts Manufacturing
Star Faith International manufactures puff print t-shirts for labels that want a raised, three-dimensional graphic finish rather than a flat print. The puff additive is mixed into our screen printing ink and cured in-house, so the height and texture of the print stays consistent across every unit in the run.
Puff printing uses a foaming additive mixed into plastisol ink, which expands upward when heat-cured, lifting the printed area off the surface of the fabric into a raised, slightly spongy texture. Because the effect depends on precise heat and time control during curing, we calibrate press settings specifically for each puff ink batch and fabric weight.
Why Brands Choose Our Puff Print T-Shirts
- Raised, tactile texture — foaming ink expands during curing to lift the graphic off the fabric surface.
- Calibrated heat-cure process — press temperature and dwell time are tuned per batch to control puff height consistently.
- Works well on bold, simple graphics — puff printing reads best on block lettering and simple shapes rather than fine photographic detail.
- Low minimum order — 50 pieces per design and colourway, ideal for streetwear drops.
- Combinable with flat screen print — puff elements can be layered alongside standard flat-printed colours in the same design.
Fabric, Fit, and Customization Options
Puff print tees are built on 180-220 GSM cotton, with the puff effect applied through screen printing so it works best on bold, graphic-forward artwork. We support regular, boxy, and oversized fits, with the puff print combinable with flat screen-printed layers in the same design.
Common add-ons include glow-in-the-dark or metallic ink variants alongside standard puff, embroidered chest logos, and garment washing for a vintage base. Private label packaging with woven neck labels and polybags can be added without changing the standard MOQ.

Can puff print be combined with flat print colours?
