Make Your Design Part of the Garment

Sublimation printing transfers dye into suitable polyester fibers through heat, rather than creating a heavy surface layer.

This process supports all-over patterns, gradients, multi-color graphics, and maintains a lightweight feel on the fabric.

Choose the Right Fabric First

Standard sublimation printing typically works on white or light-colored polyester fabrics. Blended fabrics require evaluation based on composition and sample results.

Cotton, dark-colored, and nylon fabrics cannot use the same sublimation process and require separate discussion.

Fabric hand feel, stretch, weight, and post-print appearance are confirmed through physical samples.

Review the Print Before Bulk Production

Submit your design files, print dimensions, placement instructions, color references, garment type, and quantities.

Vector logos or high-resolution files prepared at actual print size are preferred. Specific templates and file requirements are confirmed during development.

Digital mockups confirm design direction. Physical samples verify color accuracy, print clarity, placement, and fabric hand feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fabrics are suitable for sublimation?
Standard sublimation works on white or light-colored polyester fabrics. Polyester blends may be suitable depending on composition. Cotton, dark colors, and nylon require different processes. Fabric suitability is confirmed through material specifications and sample testing.
Can I use my own artwork?
Yes. You can submit your own design files, logos, patterns, and color references. Vector files or high-resolution artwork prepared at actual print size are preferred. File format requirements and technical specifications are confirmed during project setup.
Can you create all-over printed sportswear?
Yes, when using suitable fabrics and garment constructions. All-over printing covers the entire garment surface with continuous or repeating patterns. Print alignment across seams and construction areas is managed through pattern placement and sample approval.
Can I approve a physical sample?
Yes. Physical samples are produced for approval before bulk production. Samples verify print color accuracy, placement, fabric quality, garment fit, and construction details. Sample production typically takes 8-10 working days, plus 5-7 days for express shipping.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Sports T-Shirts typically start at 200 pieces. Other garments typically start at 100 pieces. Final MOQ depends on garment type, fabric selection, color requirements, and print complexity. Specific minimums are confirmed during project discussion.
How long does production take?
Bulk production typically takes 25-30 working days after sample approval and order confirmation. Timeline depends on order quantity, fabric availability, print complexity, and approval stages. Production time and shipping time are calculated separately.
How should sublimated garments be cared for?
Machine wash in cold water with similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron directly on printed areas. Specific care instructions are provided with finished garments and can be included on garment labels.
