The Texcraft Puff Base is a semi-opaque ink/paste designed to create raised, embossed (“puff”) effects on garments using screen-printing techniques. It can be tinted with pigment concentrate, printed through mesh, and then heat-expanded (e.g., via iron or hair-dryer) to create the raised texture. The product is PVC- and phthalate-free, heavy-metal-free, APEO-free and formaldehyde-free, reflecting modern textile safety standards. 

Benefits
