What is Dye Sublimation
Dye sublimation is a special printing process that turns digital designs into vivid, long-lasting colours in your team jerseys. It works by using high heat to transfer the ink into the material, bonding it to the fibers of the fabric. The result is a high-quality, detailed design that looks great and lasts a long time.
There are endless possibilies with dye sublimation. You can enjoy the freedom of adding numbers, logos and your last name to your sports jersey without any extra charges. With our digital printing process, we can incorporate any color(s), font, or logo anywhere on the jersey.
