Sublimation Print Tees

Sublimated tees and sublimated tee shirts printed at full coverage across front, back, sleeves and side seams, with no ink sitting on the surface: a sublimated shirt carries the graphic inside the fibre. Each custom sublimation t shirt is printed as flat panels and then cut and sewn, which is the only way an all over print t shirt keeps its pattern aligned across a seam. Custom t shirt manufacturer work, wholesale sublimation tees for print shops and single-design drops for creators all need confirmation of production scope for each selected style, from 5 pieces per design and color.

Can you sublimate onto cotton? Not properly. The dye bonds with polyester, so the fabric composition and weight for custom sublimation shirts need confirmation, and they won’t go stiff where the graphic sits. Does dye sublimation printing t shirts fade them? It fades with the fabric, not off it, because there is no ink layer to wash away.

What comes through this range? Custom long sleeve t shirts with a graphic running down the arm, custom sublimated t shirts wholesale for a streetwear label, staff tees for an event with a sponsor wall printed across the back, and custom Hawaiian shirts and aloha shirts in tropical prints; the collared shirt-and-shorts versions of those tropical sets live in beach wear. For a custom embroidered collared shirt see the polo shirts.

For a looser silhouette see the oversized tees, and for the process compare sublimation vs DTF vs screen printing. Fabric codes and gsm weights are listed in the fabric lab, and artwork in AI, PDF, PSD or EPS goes through the mockup studio before a sample is made.
