What is Sublimation? Sublimation is an impressive form of decoration that has been around for nearly 30 years and allows for endless design possibilities which can allows the use of multi colour, gradients, fountain effects, font or styling effects. It is a fantastic form of decoration when client’s wishing to use full colour and design flair in their product. The most popular forms of sublimated products are T-shirts, polos, shorts and neoprene products (think drink coolers).

The sublimation process is whereby the ink is baked into the fibres of the garment as opposed to onto the garment (screen printing and transfer prints) and becomes a part of the material. This allows the design to stretch with the material and not crack or fade over time. An added benefit of sublimation is that moisture wicking material (breathable garments such as riding tops) continue to draw moisture away from the body and are not hindered by the decoration.

There are two forms of sublimation that are commonly referred to:

1. Full Sublimation- Which involves sublimating the fabric prior to the garments being sewn together. This allows for maximum design space.

2. Spot Sublimation – This is where only a small area of a previously sewn garment is sublimated.

The major downside to sublimated products is that it is quite expensive in comparisons to other decoration techniques for low quantity runs, basic artwork and low colour counts.

It is a great option for high runs, complex/ creative artwork and creating uniqueness in the marketplace.
