Sublimation-ready

6

Categories

Only polyester can be sublimated — and it must start white

Dye sublimation bonds ink into polyester fibres, so it cannot be used on cotton, on nylon, or on fabric already dyed dark. If your design needs all-over colour, stripes or gradients, it has to be built on one of the sublimation-ready fabrics below — they carry a SUB badge. Everything else is decorated by embroidery, transfer or screen print instead.
