Sublimation printing uses heat and pressure to embed dye directly into polyester or polymer-coated surfaces with permanent designs. The result is a permanent, full-colour design that won’t crack, peel, or fade.
The process is ideal for polyester fabrics, polymer-coated ceramics, metals, and plastics. For non-polyester items, a special coating or pre-treatment is required for successful sublimation.
Sublimated designs are extremely durable, lasting for years without peeling, fading, or cracking. The ink becomes part of the material itself, making it perfect for frequently used or washed items such as apparel and mugs.
Absolutely. Sublimation is perfect for creating personalised gifts, branded corporate merchandise, and custom promotional items with your artwork or photos. Sublimated gifts are also perfect for marketing.
Sublimation prints generate minimal waste and require fewer chemicals than traditional printing, but do use heat to transfer, making sublimation a slightly greener choice for customisation and on-demand production.
Many of our sublimation prints, especially our mugs, are dishwasher safe thanks to high-quality materials and durable coating. For detailed care instructions and dishwasher compatibility, please refer to specific product pages.
