Puff and glitter in one print. The design lifts off the fabric like a puff print and carries a metallic sparkle across the raised surface, which catches light from every angle. It is the loudest finish we offer, and the right answer for a narrow set of jobs. Upload your file, pick the garment, approve the proof.
What it looks like in person
Raised roughly one to two millimeters, with the sparkle sitting on the lifted surface rather than flat against the shirt. Under gym lighting, stage lighting or a camera flash it reads far stronger than either finish alone, which is the entire reason it exists. In flat daylight it looks like a good glitter print with dimension.
Where it belongs
- Cheer, dance and drill teams, by far the largest use, since competition floors are lit hard
- Gymnastics, pageant and recital apparel
- Birthday, bachelorette and milestone shirts where the point is to be seen
- Streetwear accents, usually a small element rather than a whole front print
Designing for it
Both finishes have the same constraint and combining them doubles it. This is for bold shapes and heavy lettering only, with a minimum two millimeter line weight. Single color designs work best, since overlapping colors lose their edges once the surface rises. No gradients, no photographs, no small text. A puff glitter name across the back with a standard full color design on the front usually beats an all puff glitter shirt.
Care
Wash cold, inside out, no fabric softener, hang dry or tumble low. Never iron the print and never press anything hot on top of it, since that flattens the lift permanently and dulls the sparkle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum?
No. One shirt is a real order.
Does it cost more?
Yes, slightly more than puff or glitter alone, because of the film. Still no per color charge.
Will the glitter shed?
No. It is bonded into the print layer.
What designs work?
Bold lettering and solid shapes only. Send it and we will tell you before you order.
Which garments work best?
Fleece and mid weight cotton. Very thin fabrics do not support the lift as well.
