3D Raised Logo Printing with UV DTF Technology
Create premium embossed logos for apparel using multi-layer UV printing. By repeatedly building white ink layers, then adding CMYK color and varnish, the finished logo develops visible height, a glossy surface and a tactile 3D feel.

What Is a 3D Raised Logo?
A 3D raised logo is a textile decoration with a clearly embossed surface instead of a conventional flat printed finish. Its height is created by repeatedly printing white UV ink to build the structure before the color and gloss layers are added.
The result combines visible depth, bright color and tactile texture. Raised lettering, borders and graphic elements can be physically felt when touched, giving apparel a premium badge-like appearance.
This makes the process particularly suitable for brand logos, sports emblems, fashion graphics and custom identity marks used on garments and accessories.
Multiple white ink layers create visible height and dimensional detail.
UV varnish adds surface shine and enhances the visual depth of the graphic.
Designed for textile applications including caps, sweatshirts, T-shirts and sportswear.
Suitable for fashion labels, team logos, promotional apparel and custom merchandise.
How 3D Raised Logo Printing Works
The full workflow combines UV printing, contour cutting and heat transfer. The 3D structure is formed during the printing stage before the finished badge is transferred onto the garment.
Prepare Design
Create the logo artwork and define the raised graphic areas.
UV Print
Build multiple white layers, then print the CMYK design and varnish.
Contour Cut
Use a contour cutter to cut around the finished logo shape.
Trasferimento di calore
Transfer the finished logo onto the garment at approximately 170°C for 10 seconds.
3D Raised Logo vs Crystal Label
The same A2 UV DTF printer platform can be used for both applications. The main difference is the consumable system and production goal: the ink and film used for a 3D textile badge are different from those used for a conventional crystal label.
Crystal Label Smooth Finish
- Designed primarily for decorative hard-surface applications.
- Focuses on glossy visual presentation and smooth surface appearance.
- Uses the appropriate crystal-label ink and film system.
- Commonly applied to compatible products and decorative surfaces.
3D Raised Logo Textile Application
- Designed for fabric and apparel decoration.
- Uses repeated white ink layers to build physical height.
- Requires the corresponding 3D-logo ink and film system.
- Produces an embossed, tactile logo that can be transferred to garments.
The printer configuration can remain the same, while ink, film and production settings must match the intended application.
White Ink Builds the Height. Color and Varnish Finish the Surface.
The main technical difference in 3D raised logo production is the use of repeated white ink passes. Instead of using white only as a normal backing layer, white ink is printed multiple times to physically build the raised structure.
Multi-Layer White Ink
Repeated white layers create the physical thickness and embossed foundation.
UV Color Ink
CMYK prints the visible logo artwork over the built-up structure.
Vernice
Clear varnish provides the distinctive glossy finish and enhances depth.
Designed for Fashion, Sportswear and Custom Apparel
3D raised logos give textile products a badge-like appearance that works especially well for brand identity, team graphics and premium custom apparel.
Transfer the Finished Badge onto the Garment
After printing and contour cutting, the finished raised logo is positioned on the garment and transferred with a heat press.
A typical reference setting for this application is:
170°C
Reference heat-press temperature.
10 Seconds
Reference transfer time.
Even Pressure
Use consistent contact across the complete badge area.
Production settings should always be verified with the actual film, adhesive system and garment material before batch production.
Built for Real Apparel Use
The raised structure is designed not only for appearance, but also for daily textile applications.
Flex Resistant
The badge can flex with normal garment movement when the correct materials and transfer conditions are used.
Wash Resistant
Proper printing, curing and heat transfer help maintain adhesion through normal garment washing.
Abrasion Resistant
The finished raised surface is suited to apparel and accessory applications exposed to routine handling.

3D Raised Logo Printing FAQ
Common questions about producing embossed textile badges with the EraSmart A2 UV DTF Printer.
How is the raised 3D effect created?
The main height is created by printing white UV ink multiple times. These repeated white layers build the structure before CMYK color and varnish are printed on top.
Is the 3D raised logo printed directly onto the garment?
No. The badge is first produced with the UV printing workflow, then contour cut and heat transferred onto the garment.
What products can the 3D raised logo be used on?
Typical applications include caps, hoodies, sweatshirts, T-shirts, sports jerseys and other compatible textile products.
What heat-transfer settings are used?
The reference setting for this application is approximately 170°C for 10 seconds. Final settings should be tested using the actual garment, film and adhesive system.
Is the finished badge washable?
The application is designed for apparel use and can provide wash resistance when the correct ink, film, curing and heat-transfer process are used. Production samples should be wash tested before bulk manufacturing.
Is it flexible?
Yes. The finished raised badge is intended to retain dimensional appearance while allowing normal flexing associated with textile products.
What is the difference between this and a UV DTF crystal label?
The printer platform can be the same, but the consumables and final application are different. Crystal labels focus on glossy decorative hard-surface use, while 3D raised logos use a dedicated ink and film system designed to create height and transfer onto textiles.
Which A2 UV DTF printer configurations support this application?
The available configurations include a single angled I3200HD printhead, a single angled DX7 printhead and dual XP600 printheads.
