Create bold, tactile and professional garment designs with STAHLS' Puff Black Heat Transfer Vinyl – Black 700. This premium black puff HTV expands when heat pressed, producing a distinctive raised, rounded 3D effect that gives logos, lettering and graphics additional depth and visual impact.
Unlike conventional flat heat transfer vinyl, STAHLS' Puff Black 700 creates a soft, dimensional surface that can both be seen and felt. Its classic black colour makes it exceptionally versatile for fashion, streetwear, workwear, sportswear, branded clothing and premium merchandise.
This black puff heat transfer vinyl is particularly effective on heavier garments such as sweatshirts and hoodies, where its dimensional appearance complements thicker fabrics and creates a high-quality professional finish.
STAHLS' Puff Black 700 offers a deep, classic black finish that works beautifully across a wide range of garment colours. On white, grey, red, yellow, green and brightly coloured fabrics, the black creates strong contrast and excellent visibility.
On black or dark garments, the raised surface can instead be used to create sophisticated tone-on-tone decoration. Rather than relying on colour contrast, the design stands out through texture, shadow and depth, making it particularly attractive for premium fashion and minimalist branding.
Popular applications include company logos, brand names, initials, slogans, jersey numbers, club graphics, monograms and bold decorative designs.
STAHLS' Puff HTV is engineered to expand when activated by the heat press. During application, the material rises away from the fabric and develops its characteristic rounded, dimensional appearance.
The resulting 3D heat transfer vinyl effect can transform even a simple wordmark or logo into a premium-looking decoration. This makes puff vinyl especially popular for streetwear, fashion labels, branded hoodies and limited-edition merchandise.
For the strongest puff effect, designs should contain sufficiently wide lines and substantial graphic elements. Very thin lettering or intricate details may not provide enough material for consistent expansion.
Black puff vinyl for hoodies is an excellent option when standard flat HTV does not provide enough visual impact. The raised finish pairs particularly well with heavyweight cotton and sweatshirt fabrics.
STAHLS' Puff Black 700 can be used for:
When applying designs close to seams, pockets, zips or other raised areas, use an appropriate heat press pillow to help maintain consistent pressure across the entire transfer.
STAHLS' Puff can be cut using a suitable vinyl cutting plotter. Designs must be mirror cut before application so that the finished image appears correctly once transferred to the garment.
The material is approximately 520 microns thick, so blade pressure, cutting speed and blade depth should be adjusted according to your cutter. Always perform a test cut before beginning production.
STAHLS recommends relatively substantial design elements, with a minimum line width of approximately 8 mm for optimum cutting, weeding and puff development.
The adhesive carrier makes positioning easier by keeping individual letters, numbers and graphic elements aligned while excess vinyl is removed.
After cutting and weeding, position the design on the garment with the carrier facing upwards. Check the alignment carefully before pressing.
The manufacturer's wider working range is approximately 150–155°C for 12–15 seconds. However, fabric composition, garment thickness and heat press performance can influence the final result, so test pressing is always recommended.
Avoid unnecessary repressing after application, as additional heat and pressure may reduce the height of the puff effect.
STAHLS' Puff Black 700 can be used on a variety of textiles, including:
Technical polyester garments, sublimated textiles and fabrics with special surface treatments should always be tested before production to check adhesion, heat resistance and possible dye migration.
STAHLS' Puff Black 700 is the ideal choice when you want to move beyond conventional flat textile printing and create garments with genuine depth, texture and premium visual appeal.
Its versatile black colour, distinctive raised finish and professional edge definition make it suitable for clothing brands, garment decorators, sign makers, sports clubs, print businesses and creative workshops. Whether you are producing premium hoodies, corporate merchandise or contemporary streetwear, this black 3D heat transfer vinyl helps even straightforward designs achieve a distinctive high-value appearance.
