Why You Need to Start Printing on Sublimation Textiles

We've noticed that one category of products has been steadily gaining momentum: sublimation textiles. We've witnessed firsthand the incredible potential of this versatile and innovative printing method and we need to tell you more!

It offers a unique blend of vibrant colours, long-lasting durability, and a high-quality finish that sets it apart from traditional printing techniques. In this blog post, we'll explore the compelling reasons why you should consider incorporating sublimation textiles into your product offerings.

The Advantages of Sublimation Textiles

Vibrant and Lasting Colours

One of the standout features of sublimation printing is its ability to produce stunningly vibrant and long-lasting colours. The dye-sublimation process allows the ink to be infused directly into the fabric, creating a seamless and permanent bond. This results in images and designs that are resistant to fading, cracking, or peeling, even after repeated washing or wear.

Endless Design Possibilities

With sublimation printing, the design possibilities are virtually limitless. From intricate patterns and photographic images to bold, eye-catching graphics, the versatility of this technique allows you to bring your creative vision to life on a wide range of fabrics, including polyester, polyester blends, and even some synthetic leathers.

Lower Shipping Costs and Less Risk of Damage

Compared to other items such as ceramic mugs, tiles or glassware, sublimation textiles offer a significant advantage in terms of shipping costs and the risk of damage. They can often be folded to fit in even Large Letter envelopes which is much cheaper to send by with Royal Mail compared to Small Parcels. This translates to lower shipping costs and a reduced risk of your products arriving in less-than-perfect condition.

High Perceived Value

Sublimation-printed textiles have a distinct advantage when it comes to perceived value. The vibrant colours, smooth finish, and high-quality appearance of sublimation-printed fabrics convey a sense of luxury and attention to detail that can set your products apart in the market. This can lead to increased customer satisfaction and the potential for higher profit margins.
