Why Choose Sublimation?

Because you want a multi-colored, long-wearing design (or photograph) printed on performance fabrics such as 100% polyester.

MINIMUM QUANTITY

The minimum number of garments we sublimate is six.

PRODUCTION SPEED

Average production speed is three weeks. Large volume orders or peak seasons may require more time.

COST FACTORS

Buying a higher number of garments makes the price go down. Making your design larger (adding more sublimation ink) makes the price go up.

IMAGE LAYOUT

Standard adult design size is 13" wide x 8" high. However, items such as pockets, zippers and laces may reduce that size.

FINISHING TOUCH

Sublimation is a dye that changes the color of your shirt. Since it does not sit on top of the fabric, you don't feel anything.

CARE GUIDE

Wash separately in cold water on regular cycle, with no bleach or fabric softener. Dry separately on medium heat.

FEATURED SUBLIMATION SPECIAL

Can I get just one garment sublimated?

Our minimum for sublimation is 6 garments of the same design.

How much does sublimation cost?

The cost is dependent on many variables: the number of imprint locations, size of your design and the number of garments in your order. The variables that affect sublimation cost the most are:
1. The number of garments in your order and
2. The size of the design being embroidered.

I want sublimate on the front, back, and sleeves. Does that cost more?

Each location you would like to sublimate requires additional time and setups. However, the cost of an additional location is usually quite inexpensive. If you are interested in printing more than one location, it's worth checking into. However, if you are trying to stick to a tight budget, we recommend reducing the number of print locations to just one position.

Do I need to pay for my shirts now?

We only require a deposit of half down at the time you place your order and the balance isn't due until the order is finished. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express so if you've already received a quote from us, you could call in your payment over the phone. Super simple!

What type of art is required?

To find out more about our preferred file types, please view our artwork specifications page. If you do not have artwork in the preferred formats, don't worry; we can redraw whatever you need even if you drew the concept on a napkin.

Can I mix and match different types of shirts and different shirt colors?

Sure. Let's say you have a cycling group where the trainers will be in a red shirts and the team will be in safety green shirts. We can do that as long as it is the same design and ink color on all of the shirts. If you decide to change the ink color for the second group of shirts, or even for every shirt, we can do that. The extra labor time will be built into the price of each shirt overall.

Will I get to see the final design before you begin printing my shirts?

Yes, when you order six or more garments with the same design, we create a proof and email it to you for approval so you can make sure everything is just right before we even start.
