Specialty Screen Printing
Puff + Sponge
Want your designs to rise off the shirt—literally?
Puff and Sponge inks are specialty screen printing techniques that add a soft, raised texture to your artwork. These dimensional inks expand during curing, creating a bold, tactile effect that you can see and feel.




How It Works
- Puff Ink: Expands smoothly, creating a uniform, raised print with soft edges. Great for subtle depth, bold graphics, or retro-inspired looks.
- Sponge Ink: Expands with a more textured, porous surface—mimicking the look and feel of sponge material for added dimension and character.
Application Styles
- Subtle Puff: Add gentle lift to details like lettering or outlines.
- Full Puff Effect: Apply across larger areas for bold, raised graphics.
- Sponge Texture: Use for statement designs that need extra texture and tactile appeal.

3D Dimension – Brings your designs to life with raised surfaces.
Tactile Appeal – Unique textures that go beyond flat prints.
Versatile Style – Works for bold logos, retro looks, or playful graphics.
