3D Puff Heat Transfer Vinyl Application Instructions

Puff 3D heat transfer vinyl is the perfect choice to create different crafts but for the success of any project, one has to have the right set of tools to ensure a smooth process. This is what you will need:

3d Puff Heat Transfer Vinyl Instructions
  • 3D puff heat transfer vinyl in the color of your choice.
  • Fabric. It can be a t-shirt, pillowcase or any decoration item. The right fabrics to work with are cotton, polyester and poly/cotton blends.
  • Automated cutting machine.
  • Cutting mat.
  • Weeding tools. At Ahijoy we have the top quality weeding pens.
  • Heat press machine.

Suitable Cutting Machine For Puff 3D HTV

The best cutting machine for Puff 3D heat transfer vinyl is Cricut Explore Air 2. Just choose the iron-on settings and load the mat in your Cricut machine. Press the ‘Go’ button to start cutting. The required settings to cut the puff vinyl is 6 - 7 force at the speed of 3.

The other craft cutters with which you can use this vinyl are Silhouette, Xyron, Graphtec, Quickutz, and Inspirations. Make sure that you have the right cut settings on the machine for best results.

  • Plastic scraper or putty knife.
  • Cotton cloth, rag, or sponge.
  • Spray bottle.
  • Acetone or nail polish remover.
  • Water to dampen the sponge.
  • Latex gloves.

How To Place Vinyl On The Cutting Mat?

Normally, with heat transfer vinyl, we place the glossy side down on the mat as it has the carrier sheet. This is not the case with 3D puff HTV. The shiny side of this vinyl will face up. The carrier sheet of 3D puff HTV is dull hence this will face down on the mat.

Step By Step Process

  • Step 1: Cut out your design. It has to be cut in reverse. This means you will have to mirror the image.
  • Step 2: Preheat the fabric, your t-shirt, or anything you want to apply it over so that there is no moisture left on it.
  • Step 3: Set the temperature to 300º-305ºF to preheat the machine. Make sure to use a heat press that is large enough to cover your entire design in one go.
  • Step 4: Once the design is cut, weed out the extra vinyl using weeding tools from Ahijoy.
  • Step 5: Place the design onto your fabric and apply heat to it using a heat press for about 8 to 10 seconds. Remember to be firm and apply medium pressure. If you wish to have a puffier look, you can wait for 5 seconds more.
  • Step 6: Peel off the backing of the vinyl while it's warm. Do not leave it for a longer time as it may ruin the puffed-up effect. The carrier sheet will rise to make it easier to peel off.

It's done. Easy isn't it? You have your new puffed-up design on your garment ready to be worn. Now let's give a quick look to the types of fabrics you can use for puff 3D heat transfer vinyl.

3d Puff Heat Transfer Vinyl Instructions
  • Cotton.
  • Uncoated polyester.
  • Acrylics.
  • Cotton/poly blends.

Care Instructions

  • Do not wash the garment for 24 hours after applying the vinyl. This will allow the adhesive to bond properly with the substrate.
  • Always wash the garment with your hands inside out and do not tumble dry.
  • Use cold water when washing.
  • Dry the garment on a clothesline naturally away from direct sunlight.
  • Do not bleach or use fabric softener.
  • Do not dry clean the garment.
  • Iron the garment inside out as well and do not apply excessive heat to the design.
  • Do not use puff vinyl over nylon.
  • Works best on 100℅ cotton material.

Tips For Working With 3D Puff Vinyl

  • Do not layer 3D puff heat transfer vinyl.
  • A test cut is highly recommended before cutting the actual design.
  • For a successful project it is imperative to follow the vinyl manufacturer’s application instructions carefully. Especially take into account the temperature, time and pressure that has to be applied.
  • Puff vinyl works best on cotton or cotton/poly blends. When using a different fabric, be very careful and test first whether it will work or not.
  • If your design is highly intricate, with complex cuts and features, it might not turn out as expected to be. This is because 3D puff vinyl expands in all directions and an intricate design will lose its detail when heated. It will not look as you want it to be.
  • For puff vinyl, it is better to use a heat press as it needs consistent heat and pressure that may not be possible with an iron.

Uses Of 3D Puff Heat Transfer Vinyl

3D puff heat transfer vinyl has many creative uses.

  • You can use it to display your logo on complimentary t-shirts and other fabrics. It will make your brand noticeable and stand out.
  • The 3D look of puff HTV is perfect for companies and teams looking to advertise themselves on T-shirts or hats.
  • It is best for personal use as its eye-catching design will elevate your accessories like t-shirts, hoodies, bags, and socks.
  • You can upgrade your home décor with it and win accolades from family and guests. Embellish your pillowcases, covers and throws with puffed up decals.

There are many other ways in which you can use this amazing vinyl. Where creativity is concerned, the sky’s the limit.
