ASK USSublimation is a specialized full-colour decoration method that can produce vibrant, detailed results when paired with the right product and material.
Ideal for colourful artwork, gradients, photographs and detailed graphics.
On compatible products, sublimation dye becomes part of the surface rather than creating a thick layer on top.
A great option for compatible polyester performance apparel where a lightweight decoration is important.
Because the dye is transferred into a compatible surface, there is no vinyl or transfer layer sitting on top.
Names, numbers, photographs and individual designs can be incorporated into suitable sublimation projects.
Sublimation can also be used on compatible coated mugs, ornaments, keepsakes and other specialty products.
Unlike surface-applied decoration, sublimation becomes part of a compatible material or coating. Choosing the right product is essential for achieving a vibrant, long-lasting result.
Sublimation works best with white or light-coloured polyester garments. Higher polyester content generally produces brighter, more vibrant results, while lower polyester blends can create a softer, more vintage appearance.
Hard goods need a compatible polymer coating for sublimation to bond properly. This includes select drinkware, signs, ornaments, promotional products and other specially prepared blanks.
Sublimation ink is transparent and does not print white, so the colour of the product becomes part of the final design. White and light-coloured surfaces provide the greatest colour accuracy and vibrancy.
From garment compatibility and artwork to washing and fluorescent prints, here's what to know before starting your DTF project.
Sublimation printing uses heat to transfer vibrant, full-colour designs into compatible materials, creating a smooth, durable finish that won't peel or crack.
It works best on white polyester apparel, as well as specially coated products like mugs, tumblers, drinkware and other promotional items.
Not all materials are compatible, but we'll help you find the best option for your project!
Sublimation is great for customizing t-shirts, jerseys, performance apparel, mugs, tumblers, coasters, mousepads and more.
It works best on white polyester fabrics and products with a special sublimation-compatible coating.
Not all products or materials are suitable for sublimation, but we'll help you find the best option for your project!
Absolutely! Sublimation is perfect for full-colour photographs, gradients and detailed artwork, producing vibrant, sharp designs with a smooth, long-lasting finish.
For the best results, we recommend high-resolution artwork and white polyester fabrics or sublimation-compatible products.
Sublimation works best on polyester fabrics, as the ink bonds directly with polyester fibres. It doesn't work directly on 100% cotton shirts using traditional sublimation methods.
For cotton or cotton-blend apparel, we typically recommend DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing as a great alternative for vibrant, full-colour designs.
We'll help you choose the best printing method for your garment!
Sublimation works best on white polyester fabrics. Since sublimation inks are transparent and don't contain white ink, designs won't appear properly on dark-coloured garments.
For dark-coloured apparel, we recommend DTF (Direct-to-Film) printing as a great alternative for vibrant, full-colour designs.
Minimum order quantities vary depending on the product type and production requirements. Some styles are available individually or in small quantities, while others may require a minimum order.

Sublimation prints won't crack or peel because the ink becomes part of the material rather than sitting on top of it.
Sublimation is also highly resistant to fading, making it a durable, long-lasting option. However, colours may gradually fade with repeated washing, prolonged sun exposure or improper care.
With proper care, your designs can stay vibrant and looking great for years!
No! Sublimation prints have a smooth, lightweight feel because the ink becomes part of the fabric rather than sitting on top of it.
This means no raised texture, added thickness or heavy print feel, making sublimation ideal for comfortable, breathable apparel like sportswear, jerseys and performance shirts.
Absolutely! Sublimation is a great choice for sports and performance apparel, including jerseys, athletic shirts and team uniforms.
Since the ink becomes part of the fabric, designs remain lightweight, breathable and flexible without affecting the garment's comfort or stretch.
Sublimation works best on white or light-coloured polyester fabrics, making it ideal for vibrant, full-colour sportswear.
Absolutely! All-over sublimation printing allows designs to cover nearly the entire garment, including the front, back and sleeves.
It's perfect for custom jerseys, sports uniforms and performance apparel with bold graphics, patterns and full-colour designs.
However, full-coverage printing requires specially designed garments and production methods. Availability and coverage may vary depending on the product.
It depends on the product! Some sublimation mugs and drinkware are dishwasher and microwave safe, while others require special care.
For the best results, we recommend hand washing to help preserve the design's vibrant colours and finish.
Always check the product's care instructions, as dishwasher and microwave compatibility depend on the material, coating and product construction.
Yes! We may be able to customize customer-supplied garments, depending on the material, construction and compatibility with our decoration methods.
All customer-supplied items must be reviewed and approved before drop-off. Please contact us with details about your garments and the customization you'd like so we can confirm compatibility before accepting them.
While we take every precaution, customization carries certain risks, including heat damage, discoloration or other unexpected results. Customer-supplied items are decorated at the customer's risk, and we cannot guarantee results or provide replacements or reimbursement for damaged items.
For the best results, we recommend high-resolution artwork (300 DPI) or vector files. We accept PNG, JPG, PDF, SVG, AI, EPS and PSD formats.
Full-colour designs, photographs and gradients work great with sublimation. Not sure if your file will work? Send it our way, and we'll be happy to review it! Additional artwork preparation fees may apply.
