How are our T-Shirts different?

Why we choose Sublimation

When it comes to creating custom designs for apparel, mugs, and other items, two popular methods often stand out: sublimation and vinyl. Understanding their differences and benefits can help you make the right choice for your needs. Sublimation involves using heat to transfer dye directly into the material, typically polyester or polymer-coated surfaces. This process produces vibrant, long-lasting designs that are embedded into the fabric or item, making it highly durable and resistant to fading or peeling. On the other hand, vinyl uses adhesive-backed material that is cut and pressed onto a surface. While vinyl offers versatility and works on a broader range of materials like cotton, it sits on top of the surface, which can lead to cracking or peeling over time. Sublimation is ideal for creating detailed, full-color designs with no texture, whereas vinyl is better suited for simple, bold designs and works well on darker surfaces. Ultimately, sublimation excels in durability, vibrancy, and a seamless finish, making it a great choice for high-quality, professional results.
