SUBLIMATION

Sublimated printing, also known as dye-sublimation printing, is a versatile and high-quality printing method commonly used for creating custom designs on a variety of items, such as clothing, banners, flags, promotional products, and more.

Here’s a detailed description of sublimated printing, its uses, and requirements:

1. Sublimated Printing Process:

  • Printing Method: Sublimation is a digital printing process that uses special ink, heat, and pressure to transfer full-color, high-resolution designs onto a substrate.
  • Special Ink: Dye-sublimation ink is used, which is a specialized ink that turns into a gas when heated.
  • Heat and Pressure: The printed design is placed on the desired substrate (usually made of polyester or materials with a high polyester content), and the combination is subjected to high heat and pressure.
  • Sublimation: The ink turns into a gas and penetrates the substrate’s fibers, becoming a permanent part of the material.

2. Uses of Sublimated Printing:

  • Apparel: Sublimated printing is widely used for creating custom sports jerseys, uniforms, and activewear, as it provides vibrant, full-color designs that won’t crack, peel, or fade over time.
  • Promotional Products: It’s used to print logos, graphics, and artwork on promotional items like mugs, phone cases, mousepads, and more.
  • Flags and Banners: Sublimation is a popular choice for printing flags, banners, and display graphics due to its ability to produce vivid, durable, and long-lasting images.
    Interior Décor: It’s used for customizing items like cushions, curtains, and wall art.

3. Requirements for Sublimated Printing:

  • Polyester or Polyester-Coated Substrates: Sublimated printing works best on materials that are primarily made of polyester or have a high polyester content. This is because the sublimation process relies on the ink bonding with polyester fibers.
  • Digital Design: You need a digital design or artwork in a compatible format (usually in vector or high-resolution raster format) to be printed on the substrate.
  • Sublimation Printer: A specialized sublimation printer is required to apply the dye-sublimation ink onto transfer paper accurately.
  • Heat Press: A heat press machine is used to apply heat and pressure to transfer the ink from the paper to the substrate.
  • Proper Environment: Sublimation printing should be done in a well-ventilated area due to the release of gases during the process.
  • Quality Control: Careful color management and quality control are essential to ensure the final product matches the intended design. Sublimated printing is preferred for its ability to produce high-quality, durable, and vibrant prints that are ideal for a wide range of applications. It’s especially popular in the sports, fashion, and promotional industries due to its versatility and long-lasting results.

EMBROIDERY

Embroidery is a high quality, long-lasting and professional decoration method to communicate your brand identity with your audiences. Embroidered logos allow you to display your name or business name in a high-quality fashion, providing an excellent first impression. This technique is used to decorate uniforms, jackets, headwear or any other clothing materials with needle and thread, and it will last the life of the garment.

We pride ourselves at our versatility in working with our customers to work out what they need and how best to achieve that result.

Digitizing:

Our designers will take your design and use specialist software to transform it into a stunning stitch file appropriate for the garments you have selected. This creates a blueprint for our machines to follow with pinpoint accuracy. We stitch a sample for you and once approved, this design can be used time and time again for your repeat orders with no additional design costs.

Embroidery can be done on the following:

  • Polo shirts, Corporate shirts and trousers.
  • Hospitality and medical uniforms / aprons.
  • Sports and school jerseys and shorts.
  • Hi-Vis work wear, soft shell jackets, hoodies, shorts and trousers.
  • Travel bags, sports and school bags, laptop and conference bags.
  • Headwear like caps, beanies and bucket hats.
  • Towels, bathrobes, blankets, and children’s clothing.

Requirements for Embroidery

  • We require a high-resolution image in PDF/PNG/JPEG format to convert the artwork into machine readable embroidery format (Digitizing).
  • There is a one-time ONLY set up fee for digitization.
  • We provide a sample of the embroidery for approval by the customer before
  • proceeding with the order.
  • Please note that different fabrics and the quality of the particular fabric will affect the final appearance of the stitched out logo. We will follow the colour specs on the logo file that has been provided to us unless advised by customer to change it permanently on our records.
  • We do not charge extra for change of colours to be made to the original logo file that has been provided, to suit the background colour of the garment, as we believe in providing that option as a service to our customers. However, it is the customer’s responsibility to request change of colours on different garments as needed on each order as we cannot assume that.

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing is a modern and versatile printing technique used to apply full-color, high-resolution designs directly onto fabric surfaces, primarily on garments like T-shirts, hoodies, and other apparel.
