Sublimated uniforms
Sublimated uniforms are a cutting-edge option for sports and work apparel, where the design is permanently infused into the fabric through a process known as sublimation printing. This technique involves using heat and pressure to transfer dye onto the fabric, resulting in vibrant, durable, and intricate designs.
Sublimation ensures that your designs won’t fade, crack, or peel, keeping your apparel looking fresh and vibrant for longer. Plus, sublimation is environmentally friendly, as it minimises water usage and harsh chemicals while allowing for the recycling of transfer paper.

Why teams choose sublimated jerseys
When every game counts, sublimated jerseys deliver the edge: colour that pops on the field, breathable comfort that keeps players cool, and prints that won’t weigh you down.
Because the dye bonds to the polyester fibres, sublimated jerseys stay sharp across an entire season of training, matches and washes. Add player names, numbers, sponsors and all-over graphics without extra weight or stitching.

Sublimated shirts for business, retail and events
Looking beyond sport? Sublimated shirts are ideal for hospitality, retail and events where comfort, durability and brand impact matter. The all-over print capability means your brand guidelines - gradients, patterns, edge-to-edge designs - can be reproduced precisely.
With sublimated shirts, colours stay vivid through frequent washing, while the fabric remains soft and breathable for long shifts. Pair with polos or lightweight jackets to round out a cohesive uniform your team is proud to wear.

Frequently Asked Questions on Sublimated Jerseys, Uniforms & Apparel
What is sublimation printing?
Sublimation is a heat-transfer printing technique that infuses dye directly into the fabric, resulting in vibrant, durable, and fade-resistant designs. Unlike traditional printing, sublimation ensures the design becomes part of the material rather than sitting on top of it, preventing peeling or cracking.
This makes it a perfect choice for sublimated uniforms, jerseys, and apparel that endure regular wear and washing.
Which fabrics work best for sublimation?
Sublimation works best on polyester and polyester-coated fabrics, as these materials allow the dye to bond seamlessly for vivid and long-lasting prints. The higher the polyester content, the better the results. This is why sublimated jerseys and uniforms are commonly made from high-performance polyester blends.
Can sublimation printing be used on dark fabrics?
No, sublimation printing is most effective on light-coloured fabrics, as the dye does not have an opaque base to show up on darker materials. If you need a design on a dark fabric, we recommend alternative printing methods such as Direct-to-Film (DTF) or screen printing.
What types of products can be customised with sublimation?
Sublimation is highly versatile and ideal for customising a variety of products, including:
- Sublimated jerseys: Perfect for sports teams and activewear.
- Sublimated uniforms: Custom workwear and branded apparel.
- Sublimated apparel: Including t-shirts, singlets, and hoodies.
- Promotional items: Such as mugs, bags, and accessories.
How long does it take to complete a sublimation order?
Turnaround times depend on the complexity and quantity of your order, but most sublimated apparel is completed within 7–10 business days. If you need an urgent order, contact us to discuss rush options.
Can I include individual names and numbers on sublimated jerseys?
Yes! Sublimation is perfect for custom team jerseys, permanently embedding each player’s name and number into the design without extra layers or stitching. This ensures a seamless and professional look.
Are sublimated uniforms suitable for corporate or workwear?
Absolutely! Sublimated uniforms are a great choice for businesses that need lightweight, breathable, and durable workwear. They are ideal for industries such as:
- Sports & fitness: Coaches, trainers, and athletic teams.
- Hospitality & retail: Custom polos and t-shirts with vibrant branding.
- Outdoor & event staff: Breathable and comfortable for active roles.
We can customise your sublimated uniforms to match your brand’s colours, logo, and design requirements.
