Dye Sublimation Team Uniforms and Apparel
Dye sublimation is akin to tattooing. Instead of a sharp needle, this process uses heat and paper to embed ink into fabric, bit by bit. Unlike traditional branding methods that attach logos to the fabric's surface, dye sublimation (also known as dye sub) dyes the fabric itself. For successful dye sublimation, the fabric must be light or white in colour and composed of 100% polyester. However, this isn't always feasible with uniforms.
Our company specialises in promoting clients' brand messages through custom work uniforms. With dye sub, we create unique and specific designs to meet this goal. Although it doesn't always form the basis of a uniform, when done properly, it serves as the foundation for your branding. Contact us today to learn more about dye sublimation and how it can enhance your uniforms.
How Dye Sublimation is Created
In the dye sublimation process, special inks print customers’ logos and art onto specialised paper. The paper is then positioned on the fabric, and heat is applied at approximately 200 degrees Celsius for one minute. This heat converts the dye to gas, which is absorbed by the fabric fibres. As the fabric cools, the fibres close, locking the dye inside.
What Can be Dye Sublimated?
Most 100% polyester fabrics and objects with a polyester coating can be dye subbed. These materials must be white or very light in colour. While it can be tricky for some items, we can dye sub most work and sports uniforms. Call us to discuss your requirements.
Polyester/cotton blend fabrics can also be dye subbed, but the dye will wash out of the cotton fibres, leaving a faded image in the polyester portion. This look works well for some applications, and we recommend it to certain customers.
The Limits of Dye Sublimation
The main limitation of dye sub is that it requires 100% polyester fabric or coating to set properly. Work uniforms are typically manufactured for use with the dye sub process. Precise colour reproduction can be challenging, especially in large swathes of solid colour. Issues such as dye migration and bleeding may occur when applying a small dye sublimated print onto a previously dye subbed garment.
Why You Should Consider Dye Sublimation
Dye sublimation makes artwork variations, colours, and gradients easy to achieve. As your company's or team's logo or artwork is printed, there are no separate colour setups like those used in embroidery or screen printing.
When creating garments from scratch, fabric panels are dye sublimated before being sewn together, allowing full control over the design. The art is embedded into the fabric, not just sitting on top, and individual items such as workers’ names can be modified within a single production run.
