1. What Is Dye Sublimation?

Dye sublimation is a printing method that uses heat to turn solid dye into gas, which then penetrates polyester fibers and solidifies upon cooling. In practice, your design is first printed onto transfer paper, then heat-pressed onto the fabric so the ink embeds directly into the jersey material. This creates a permanent, full‑color image without adding any extra layers or coatings.

2. Top 5 Benefits of Dye Sublimation

1. Vibrant, Long‑Lasting Colors: Since the dye bonds inside the fibers, the design won’t peel, crack, or fade—even after repeated washes.

2. Full‑Color, Photo‑Quality Prints: Achieve complex gradients, shadows, and photographic detail—perfect for logos, player names, and sponsor artwork.

3. Soft, Breathable Feel: No surface layer or “film” is applied, so the fabric retains its original moisture‑wicking and stretch properties.

4. Versatile Fabric Compatibility: Works on any polyester or polyester‑blended performance materials, giving you flexibility in weight and texture.

5. Eco‑Friendly Process: Uses water‑based dyes with minimal waste and no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), supporting sustainable production.

3. Why Choose Dye Sublimation for Your Jerseys?

• Brand Impact: Deep‑dye coloration ensures high visibility on the field and in photos, boosting team recognition.

• Performance Integrity: The fabric’s technical functions—breathability, moisture management, and elasticity—remain intact.

• Endless Design Options: From full‑bleed graphics to subtle tonal fades, you have total creative freedom.

• Cost Efficiency for Bulk Orders: Economical at medium to high quantities, with unit costs often lower than screen or pad printing.

4. Ordering Tips for Perfect Results

1. Pick the Right Fabric: We recommend 100% polyester performance knit for optimal dye penetration and durability.

2. Prepare High‑Res Artwork: Submit logos and graphics at 300 DPI in vector (AI, EPS) or high‑resolution PNG/PDF formats.

3. Approve a Sample First: Order a prototype jersey to check color accuracy and fabric feel before committing to full production.

4. Plan Your Timeline: Allow 2–3 weeks for printing and delivery—especially important during peak season.

5. Care & Maintenance Guide

• Washing Advice: Turn jerseys inside out, use cold water on a gentle cycle, and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.

• Drying Tips: Air‑dry or tumble dry on low heat; high temperatures can slightly soften dye saturation.

• Storage Recommendations: Store flat or hang inside out, away from direct sunlight to prevent minor fading.
