The "Pros" of Sublimation
The stigma around sublimation being a "cheap alternative" to cut & sew, dyed fabric sport uniforms and apparel is quickly becoming a thing of the past. With printing quality and sub-specific, polyester fabrics continuing to improve, sublimated uniforms are quickly becoming the industry standard.
🔺 Vibrant & Long Lasting Colours: Sublimation infuses pantone-matching dyes directly into the fabric, creating vibrant colours that do not fade, peel or crack over time.
🔺 Lightweight & Comfortable: Sublimated designs do not add any extra layer to the fabric, making the uniforms lighter and more comfortable / conducive to performance.
🔺 Unlimited Design Possibilities: With sublimation, there are virtually no limitations to design complexity. Logos, gradients, patterns and intricate designs can be incorporated seamlessly across the fabric, providing unrivalled flexibility in branding and aesthetics.
🔺 Cost-Effective Complexity: Unlike traditional screen printing and embroidery, sublimation costs are more stable regardless of design intricacy, making it ideal for complex logos and patterns.
🔺 Eco-Friendly Options: Sublimation is more environmentally friendly than screen printing as it produces less waste and does not require harsh chemicals for the process.
So, the next time you hear someone dismiss sublimated uniforms as a "cheap alternative," you can confidently correct them. Sublimation printing has come a long way and is now a respected and preferred method for creating top-of-the-line sport uniforms and apparel.
