Can you punch a logo for leather?
Yes — if the file is built for leather instead of copied from a polo job. Density, underlay, and which logo details need to be simplified before the needle hits hide.

Punch-room notes for the person who has to spec the file.
Why a sew-out puckers, what a DST actually stores, how small lettering can go before it closes. Written for production managers — not for a keyword list.
Everything else, newest first.
Metallic thread on only part of a logo
Metallic is a material choice, not a software toggle. When the punch needs to change, and what to tell the desk.
Underlay that actually holds on stretch pique
Edge-walk versus zigzag when the garment has give. Why a blanket underlay shows as a ridge around satin letters.
Why cap designs drift even when the flat sew-out looks true
Center-out sequencing, stitch count on the front panels, and how the driver changes compensation.
DST vs PES: what each file actually carries
DST is the shop interchange format. PES can keep color identities for Brother rooms. Which wrapper to ask for.
Puff columns that lift, then stop
Too narrow and foam never rises. Too wide and the column chews a trench. Width recipes from the punch desk.
How long a punch file actually takes
Typical Amazing Punch windows are 6–14 hours after artwork is confirmed. What stretches a job into the next day.
What to send so we do not redraw the mark first
Vector, PNG, size, fabric, and the details that will not survive thread at left-chest scale.
