We just recently completed about 200 hats. I did the digitizing and then sent the design to a professional to tweak it. It was basically a golf club, golf ball and some lettering. It just seemed flat on the hats. When I look at professionally done hats, they seem a little more raised that what ours looked like. We did put topper (solvy) on the hats and used a medium tearaway on the back. Are there any other products that we should consider for future work like a really thin puffy foam or a thicker solvy?

Thanks!

I use bodybuilder foam when making sticking out designs, however you need to account for this in digizing process.

Is this an embroidery product? Thanks,

Yes its available from Madeira, im sure you can probably source a cheaper alternative but this does the job nicely.

Bulk up with BODYBUILDER | Madeira

Density, stitch length and direction can affect the look and give more of a lifted appearance. I don't think you have to use foam to create a professional look but I don't know whose hats you are comparing too.
