What is Sublimation?
Sublimation is a heat-transfer printing process where your design is first printed on transfer paper and then permanently embedded into the fabric using heat and pressure. The result is a vibrant, durable print that becomes part of the fabric itself meaning no cracking, peeling, or fading over time.
This method works best on polyester-based fabrics and is ideal for bold, full-color graphics.
Best suited for:
- All-over, multi-color artwork
- Lightweight polyester sports fabrics
- Team kits, activewear, and training apparel
- Designs needing breathability and stretch
Key advantages:
- No added weight or rough texture
- Unlimited color options (gradients, effects, fine details)
- Long-lasting, fade-resistant prints
What is Screen Printing?
Screen printing is a technique where layers of ink are applied to the surface of a garment using mesh screens and stencils. It delivers bold and high-impact visuals, making it a great option for logos, slogans, and solid designs on various types of fabrics.
Best suited for:
- Cotton or cotton-blend garments
- Hoodies, t-shirts, promotional items
- Street wear and lifestyle clothing
- Simple or bold branding concepts
Key advantages:
- Sharp, bold color application
- Works on multiple fabric types
- Budget-friendly for bulk production
