Dye Sublimation Printing Services

It is important to note that when searching for a Dye Sublimation Printing Services partner that you are aware of the two very different and distinct approaches to custom dye sublimation.

The traditional approach to Dye Sublimation Printing Services is to enter a cut and sew environment where fabric panels are cut, dye sublimated and then sewn together into the final product.  The advantages of this method  include a true 360 degree print, no printing issues near the seams and an amazing almost perfect look and feel.  The downside to this method are the high costs, long turn around times and large minimum order requirements, especially for custom gear.

The newest method of Dye Sublimation Printing Services involves already sewn items.  T-Shirts, Pillow Cases, Hoodies etc … that have already been sewn together can be custom dye sublimated.  As long as the item being decorated can be reasonably flattened, you can sublimate on it.  The upside to this method includes: Very fast turn around time (days vs months), reasonably good results, lower costs and low minimum orders.  The down side is that no garment that has already been sewn together can be placed completely flat for the Dye Sublimation Printing Services process.  As a result, inevitable creasing will occur, and when this happens, there will be blank spots where sublimation dyes can not reach.  These spots typically occur under the arms, near the seams and the shoulder lines.  Using the proper artwork, post sewn garments can look amazing and rival cut and sew sublimation.

All Over Print Shirts

All Over Print Shirts

Creating All Over Print Shirts is done using one of two available methods.  The first method is called Custom Dye Sublimation and the second is called Jumbo Screen Printing or often called All Over Screen Printing.

All Over Print Shirts

Using the first method of Custom Dye Sublimation to create All Over Print Shirts, the designer has two options.  The first option is to engage with a cut and sew provider to cut panels, dye sublimate the panels and then sew them into the finished garment.  This method is preferred as it leaves no blank areas and offers a true seam to seam print.  These types of All Over Print Shirts are often found in retail stores, used for sports jerseys and look very bright, crisp and polished.

Designers also have a lower cost option of creating All Over Print Shirts using custom dye sublimation printing.  This method involves custom dye sublimating an already completed item.  For example a T-Shirt, Pair of Socks, Pillow Case etc … something that was already sewn into the final product can be used for a “post sewn” custom dye sublimation project. 

Using existing garment s for custom dye sublimation can produce amazing results, at a fraction of the cost of cut and sew sublimation, some blank areas may occur as a result of creasing that can’t be avoided in the printing process, but these unique nuances are often “cool” for the consumer and for the designer, a trade off on cost vs. coverage makes this method a good second choice to cut and sew.

The second method of creating All Over Print Shirts is to us e the process of Jumbo Screen Printing or Over Sized Screen Printing.  Using this method to create All Over Print Shirts is often preferred when the color requirements are less than 8 per design and the fabric choice is something other than polyester.
