Sublimation Printing

Sublimation printing turns special ink into gas with heat so it bonds with polyester fibres. The design becomes part of the fabric – unlimited colours, all-over prints, and no cracking, peeling or fading. It is the best method for sports jerseys.

How Sublimation Printing Works

  1. Design

    Our designers create your full-colour jersey design with names, numbers and logos, and share a free mock-up.

  2. Print on paper

    The approved design is printed in mirror image on sublimation paper using special dye inks.

  3. Heat press

    The paper is pressed onto white polyester fabric at around 200°C. The ink turns to gas and enters the fibres.

  4. Cut and stitch

    The printed panels are cut and stitched into jerseys, shorts or track wear, then checked and packed.

Best for

  • Sports jerseys for cricket, football, volleyball, kabaddi, basketball and esports
  • All-over patterns, gradients and photo-quality designs
  • Team kits where every player has a different name and number
  • Breathable, lightweight performance wear

Good to know

  • Works on polyester fabrics only, not on cotton
  • Best on white or light base fabric (the design supplies the colour)

Sublimation Printing – FAQs

Does sublimation printing fade?

No. The ink becomes part of the polyester fibres, so the print does not crack, peel or fade with normal washing.

Can you sublimate on cotton T-shirts?

No. Sublimation needs polyester. For cotton we recommend DTF printing or embroidery.

Are names and numbers included?

Yes. Every jersey can have its own name and number, printed in the same process at no extra step.

What is the minimum order?

Just 4 pieces, with mixed sizes, names and numbers.
