What is Sublimation?
Dye Sublimation is a digital print process whereby artwork is printed on a coated paper and then heat transferred onto specialised substrates or directly sublimated onto specialised substrates.
The most exciting part is that you get to design your branding from beginning to end, in the apparel world, sublimation is a game-changer. Customise any garment for almost any event – whether it be for outdoor or indoor activities. Sublimation is commonly used on field garments such as golfers, soccer jerseys, basketball tops, netball uniforms, and even rugby socks!
