Sublimation Printing
for Sportswear
Full-colour, all-over printing embedded directly into performance fabric using OEKO-TEX certified water-based inks. Fade-resistant, vibrant, and precise — run after run.
How It Works
The Ink Becomes
Part of the Fabric
Sublimation printing uses heat to convert solid dye into gas, which permanently bonds with the polyester fibres at a molecular level. The result is a print that cannot peel, crack, or fade — because it’s inside the fabric, not on top of it.
This makes sublimation the ideal printing method for performance sportswear that needs to withstand UV exposure, chlorine, salt water, sweat, and repeated high-temperature washing.
