Sublimation printing — color that lasts.

Full-dye sublimation turns ink into gas and bonds it into polyester fibers. The result is lightweight, breathable sportswear with unlimited colors that won’t crack, peel or fade after hundreds of washes.

What it is

Unlimited colors, zero extra weight

With sublimation, the design becomes part of the fabric instead of sitting on top of it. There is no extra layer, no stiffness and no limit on colors, gradients or photographic detail — the same price whether your design has two colors or twenty.

  • All-over prints, side panels and gradients
  • Names, numbers and sponsors printed in one step
  • Soft, breathable and lightweight on the body
  • Colors stay bright wash after wash
Unlimited colors, zero extra weight

Questions

Sublimation Printing FAQ

01Is sublimation more expensive than screen printing?+

Usually not for team orders — sublimation has no per-color cost, so complex designs are often cheaper.

02Can you sublimate on cotton?+

No. Sublimation needs polyester fibers. For cotton we use screen printing or DTF.

03Will the colors fade?+

No. The ink bonds into the fiber, so colors stay bright after many washes.

04Can each player have a different name and number?+

Yes, names and numbers are printed in the same process at no extra setup.
