Flat & 3D Combination Digitizing
Flat and 3D combination digitizing: flat details stitched first, then a stop for foam and the raised elements, so both parts sew cleanly in one run.
About this service
Many of the best cap designs combine raised 3D lettering with flat embroidery: a flat outline, a small flat tagline, or a flat background shape behind raised text. The order matters: flat elements are stitched first, then the machine stops so foam can be placed, and then the 3D elements are stitched over it. We plan that sequence and decide which parts of your design should be raised and which should stay flat.
How we build it
- Flat elements sequenced first, followed by a machine stop for foam placement
- Clear separation between flat and 3D parts so foam isn't trapped under flat stitching
- Guidance on which elements to raise, usually bold text and main shapes
- Built for caps, jackets, and hoodies with cap or flat sequencing as needed
