Sublimation

Advanced polyester decoration technology delivering photographic quality, vivid colours and retaining 100% of the fabric's breathability.

Advanced technology and unlimited production possibilities

Sublimation is a modern, highly advanced textile decoration technology that guarantees exceptional durability and photographic image quality. Unlike traditional methods, the dye does not remain on the surface of the material; under heat and pressure it penetrates directly into the structure of polyester fibres. As a result, the print becomes an integral part of the fabric – completely imperceptible to the touch, resistant to cracking and fading from light, and durable against washing and mechanical wear.

Thanks to our extensive technical facilities and many years of experience, we handle both smaller runs and individual personalisation as well as very large wholesale orders, including sportswear production from patterns and professional flag printing up to 160 cm wide and 200 running metres long. All designs are prepared in-house, and our graphic designers provide professional support at every stage.

Pros and cons of sublimation technology

Sublimation is a technology for special applications – absolutely indispensable for sportswear, flags and personalised accessories. Learn about its biggest advantages and natural material requirements to make sure it is the ideal choice for your project.

Advantages

  • Photographic quality - high resolution (300 dpi) and an unlimited number of colours, with the CMYK palette blending smoothly and eliminating a grainy effect.
  • Permanent durability - the print is resistant to UV radiation, repeated washing at high temperatures and mechanical damage.
  • Full breathability - the material does not increase in thickness and retains its full breathable properties (a "breathable" print).
  • Flexibility and personalisation - an excellent technology for both mass production and individual decoration, for example a unique name and number on every sports shirt.

Disadvantages

  • Material requirements - the method is intended only for polyester woven and knitted fabrics, or materials whose outer layer is made of polyester; blends such as 50% cotton will produce a washed-out "vintage" effect

How is your project made?

See how your idea turns into a finished product. Our production process combines advanced technology with many years of experience, guaranteeing the highest quality at every stage.

01

Artwork preparation and preliminary printing

The graphic design is printed in mirror image on specialist paper using top-quality inks. For some products, such as flags, we use direct printing without paper, ensuring 100% colour saturation on the reverse side of the fabric.

02

Selecting the calendering technology

Depending on the requirements of the order, we select suitable equipment – efficient calenders for roll printing up to 160 cm wide, smaller heat-transfer devices or precise presses for smaller applications.

03

Dye penetration – heat transfer

Under high pressure and at a temperature of around 200°C, the dye changes into a gas and immediately penetrates the polyester fibres.

04

Heat stabilisation

The finished material is stabilised at 200°C, guaranteeing its final durability. Finished products are delivered carefully packed in film and on sturdy cardboard cores.

Materials used for sublimation

We produce sublimation prints on a wide range of materials. We select the right knit or woven fabric depending on the product you choose.

S012

A modern, stretch functional knit (180 g/m², 92% PES, 8% EL) for demanding applications. The material is fully breathable, waterproof and quick-drying, while antibacterial and anti-odour technology together with a UV barrier provide maximum comfort and protection in all conditions.

We use this material to make: printed balaclavas, bandanas, mesh panels for hoodies and polycotton shirts

Ultralight sports knit

A flexible, thin blend of polyester (92%) and elastane (8%) designed for maximum freedom of movement. It provides full breathability and quick drying, while UV protection and antibacterial properties ensure maximum comfort.

We use this material to make: swim shorts

Thick fleece

Soft, warm and very lightweight fleece (250 g/m², 100% PES). A breathable, quick-drying material that does not require ironing. Excellent durability, resistance to pilling and easy care make it ideal for clothing and accessories for colder days.

We use this material to make: fleece collars, printed fleece collars and gloves

Polyester woven fabric

A strong, coated polyester with a very dense, fine weave. It combines a perfectly smooth surface with maximum resistance to tearing and water. Its high water resistance makes it suitable for the most demanding conditions.

We use this material to make: reversible bucket hats

Pumka

A lightweight, functional polyester knit (140 g/m², 100% PES) with a characteristic honeycomb structure. Slightly stretchy, highly breathable and effective at wicking moisture. It dries quickly, requires no ironing and resists pilling, combining an elegant appearance with full wearing comfort.

We use this material to make: printed scarves

Thin microfibre

Exceptionally absorbent, quick-drying smooth microfibre (205 g/m²), able to absorb seven times its own weight in water. Ideal for sports and promotional towels – it works perfectly with sublimation printing, does not shrink in a 40°C wash and ensures permanently vivid colours.

We use this material to make: sports beach towels

Flag fabric

An extremely lightweight flag fabric (70 g/m², 100% PES) with a dense weave, ideal for pole flags and display systems. Easy to process and requiring no hot cutting, it is excellent for sublimation printing. It offers safe use thanks to a flame-retardant certificate and OEKO-TEX certification.

We use this material to make: pole flags and banners

Thicker flag fabric

A lightweight, very dense new-generation banner fabric (185 g/m², 100% PES). It outperforms standard heavier materials (220 g/m²), making it ideal for frame systems and sublimation printing. It is flame-retardant, OEKO-TEX certified and fully recyclable.

We use this material to make: fence flags

Premium knit

A lightweight, elegant polyester knit (140 g/m², 100% PES) with a honeycomb structure, designed for our premium scarves. Double-sided, soft and drapes beautifully.
