How sublimation gives team kits unlimited design freedom
Why clubs and academies choose dye-sublimation for jerseys — and what to prepare so your artwork prints perfectly.
Dye-sublimation has become the standard for modern team kits. Instead of printing ink on top of the fabric, sublimation turns ink into a gas that bonds with polyester fibers — so the design becomes part of the garment itself.
Why teams love it
- No limits on color. Gradients, photographic textures and edge-to-edge patterns cost the same as a simple two-color design.
- Nothing to crack or peel. Because the ink is inside the fiber, prints survive hundreds of washes.
- Lightweight comfort. There is no heavy print layer, so jerseys stay breathable and fast-drying.
Preparing your artwork
Send vector files (AI, PDF or SVG) for crests and sponsor marks, and high-resolution images for any photographic elements. Tell us your Pantone references where possible — we will match them on a physical sample before bulk.
Names and numbers
Every jersey in a sublimated order can carry a unique name and number at no extra setup cost. Share a simple roster spreadsheet with sizes, names and numbers, and we handle the rest.
The result
A professional, fully customized kit that looks premium on match day and lasts all season. Ready to start? Request a quote with your design ideas.
