Service Guide

Where this method works best

Use sublimation when you want lightweight, vivid color on light polyester, especially for uniforms and all-over graphics.

What it is

Sublimation uses heat to bond dye into polyester fibers. It creates lightweight, breathable color that becomes part of the fabric rather than sitting as a thick layer on top.

Best use cases

Best for white or light polyester uniforms, performance tops, names and numbers, and all-over sportswear graphics.

Common garments & products

Common products include jerseys, shorts, warmups, and performance apparel. Sublimation is not a standard choice for cotton garments.

Artwork & proof notes

Artwork needs to account for garment size, seams, panels, bleed, names, numbers, and color expectations. Proofs are usually reviewed carefully so team uniforms and repeat pieces stay organized before production.

Why teams & businesses choose it

Sublimation is often chosen for vivid, durable graphics with a lightweight performance feel. Because the dye becomes part of the polyester fibers, the print stays flexible and breathable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Turnaround & Minimums

Turnaround depends on artwork approval, garment availability, and order scope. We can review project timelines for teams, schools, businesses, and events.

Artwork & File Types

Vector art (AI, EPS, PDF) is preferred. If you only have raster art, we can review file quality and suggest prep steps.

Care & Durability

Sublimation performs best on white or light polyester. It is generally not used on standard cotton because the dye does not bond the same way.
