Vibrant Full-Color Transfers for White Polyester
Create multi-colored, patterned, and photo-realistic designs with custom sublimation heat transfers. Sublimation dyes penetrate the fibers of compatible materials, creating breathable, durable designs with a soft, seamless feel.
Designed primarily for white polyester, sublimation is ideal for custom apparel and other compatible sublimation substrates.
Upload your artwork, choose your gang sheet size, and order the quantity you need. Gang sheets allow multiple designs to be produced together for efficient production.
Sublimation transfers use specialized dyes that turn into gas under heat and penetrate compatible polyester fibers. The result is a vibrant design with a soft, breathable finish that becomes part of the fabric.
What Are Sublimation Heat Transfers?
Sublimation Heat Transfers are printed using specialized sublimation inks onto transfer paper. During heat application, the inks turn into gas and permeate the fibers of compatible polyester materials.
Unlike traditional transfers that sit on top of the garment using adhesive or carrier film, sublimation becomes integrated into the fabric, creating a soft and seamless finish.
White polyester materials
Sublimation can also be used on compatible polymer-coated hard surfaces such as mugs, phone cases, and metal sheets.
Produce multi-colored, patterned, and photo-realistic designs.
The sublimation dye becomes part of the fabric instead of creating a heavy layer on top.
The design does not create the same surface layer associated with traditional adhesive transfers.
Sublimated designs are resistant to fading, peeling, and cracking.
Suitable for detailed photographic and complex full-color artwork.
Place multiple designs together to maximize your sheet space.
Choose between the 10" × 14" Standard Sheet and 14" × 22" Large Sheet.
Order as little as 10 sublimation transfer gang sheets.
Custom color matching is available.
Suitable for compatible polyester garments and other sublimation-ready substrates.
Fast Sublimation Production
Custom sublimation transfers are produced according to your artwork, gang sheet size, and order quantity.
