Sublimation Printing

If you’ve been searching for the best way to get long-lasting, vibrant prints, chances are you’ve come across sublimation printing—also known as 'dye-sub' or 'dye sublimation printing'.

With its unmatched colour vibrancy and durability, we can confidently say it’s one of the top methods for creating prints that truly last. But what exactly is sublimation printing?

Sublimation is an innovative process where sublimation dyes are first printed onto a transfer medium with an inkjet printer. Then we take white panels of fabric and, under heat and pressure, those dyes are transformed into a gas and are bonded directly with the fabric. Finally, we cut out the design and sew it together into your custom garment.

This means that the print doesn’t simply ‘sit on top’ of the fabric, it becomes part of the fabric itself. The result? A weightless, textureless design all over the fabric that won’t fade, crack or peel.

Sublimation also has a specific colour chart that we base the chosen print colours from. Click the button below to see what is possible.
