 ADVANCED PRINTING & BRANDING TECHNIQUES FOR MICROFLEECE CAPS

Microfleece is a soft polyester knit with pile
Because of this texture, branding methods must work with stretch, pile height, and heat sensitivity.

1. DIRECT EMBROIDERY Primary Technique

 Technical Machine Specs:

• Machine: Tajima / Barudan 12–15 head industrial embroidery machine

• Needle: 75/11 SES ballpoint (prevents cutting fleece fibers)

• Thread: 120D/2 polyester embroidery thread

• Speed: 650–750 stitches/min (reduced to protect fabric)

 Stabilizers:

• Top stabilizer: Solvy water-soluble film
  Prevents stitches sinking into fleece.

• Back stabilizer: 40–60 gsm cut-away

 Stitching Methods:

• Satin stitch (best for bold logos)

• Fill stitch (large areas, high density)

• Underlay stitch (prevents logo distortion on stretch fabric)

 Durability:

• 100+ industrial washes

• Sun/UV safe

• Does not peel

 Limitations:

• Very small detail (<3 mm) disappears in pile

• High-density logos increase cost

2. 3D PUFF EMBROIDERY  Advanced Embroidery Technique

Foam inserted under satin stitches to create raised 3D effect.

Ideal For:

Sports brands, outdoor brands, bold logos.

Technical Steps:

• Logo outline stitched first

• Foam (2–4 mm EVA) placed under thread

• Satin stitch applied

• Excess foam trimmed

• Heat gun melts remaining foam for perfect edges

 Technical Challenges:

• Requires tight satin coverage

• Not suitable for very thin letters

3. HIGH-DENSITY HEAT TRANSFER Polyurethane Transfers

Direct printing is difficult on fleece, so PU-based transfers are used.

Types:

• Flock Transfer (Velvet effect)

 Fleece-Safe Heat Settings:

• 130–145°C
