Digital sublimation printing has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is a relatively new printing technique that allows the infusion of digital designs into high-quality performance fabric. But what does sublimation mean in clothing, and how can it benefit our customers?

Sublimation printing is a process where ink is applied to a special type of paper and then transferred onto the fabric using heat and pressure. Unlike traditional printing methods, where ink is applied directly onto the surface of the fabric, sublimation ink is absorbed into the fibers of the fabric, resulting in a long-lasting, high-quality print that won’t crack or fade over time.

The Benefits of Sublimation Printing in Clothing

People are always in search of new and innovative printing techniques that can enhance the overall look and feel of their clothes. However, traditional printing methods have their limitations, such as fading, cracking, and peeling of the print. In comparison, sublimation printing is a game-changer, and its advantages have made it a favorite among clothing manufacturers and designers. Here are some of the reasons:

Unlimited Design Possibilities with Sublimation Printing

First and foremost, it allows for unlimited design possibilities. We have premium software you can use to help you design and customize your sublimation sportswear. With sublimation printing, we can print any design, pattern, or color combination onto the fabric, making it possible to create truly unique and eye-catching designs that stand out from the crowd.

Maximum Customization

In addition, sublimation printing is great for customizing individual items. With traditional printing methods, customization options limit teams to adding a name or number to the back of a shirt. However, with sublimation printing, we can print any design or pattern onto the entire garment. Teams are no longer limited to just a logo, name, and number on their uniforms. Anything you can think of, including photographs and team sponsors, can now be printed directly on their team’s apparel without additional cost. Hence allowing us for maximum customization and personalization.

Excellent Breathability and Moisture-Wicking Properties

Another benefit of sublimation printing is that it allows for excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties. Therefore, making it an ideal choice for sports apparel. The sublimation process allows better airflow and breathability, which is essential for athletes who need to stay cool and dry during intense workouts or games.

Long-Lasting Durability of Sublimation Printing

Finally, sublimation printing is also incredibly durable. This makes it a great choice for sports apparel that needs to withstand wear and tear. Fabric fibers absorb the ink, making it less likely to peel, crack, or fade over time, even with repeated washings.
