Dye sublimation
Full-bleed color for lightweight jerseys and kits. Graphics dye into polyester — they do not crack or peel like a surface print.
Printing methods
Decoration that survives the wash
We match the print method to the fabric and the end use — full-bleed team kits, durable club marks, and stretch-friendly transfers for activewear.
Decoration
Sublimation, screen, and heat transfer specified to the garment.

Screen printing
Water-based and plastisol inks for tees, cotton blends, and high-contrast club marks that need opacity and clean edges.
Heat transfer
Silicone, vinyl, and reflective transfers for stretch garments — sports bras, leggings, and compression pieces.
How we choose
Method follows fabric, stretch, and wash life
Polyester team kits almost always sublimate. Cotton and fleece usually screen. High-stretch activewear needs transfers or sublimation engineered for recovery — a rigid plastisol print will fail on a legging.
Print proofs are part of sampling. Bulk color is locked against the approved sample, not a screen preview.
Artwork we need
Files that print cleanly
- Vector logos (AI, EPS, or SVG) whenever possible
- Pantone or fabric-dyed color targets, not only RGB screenshots
- Placement notes for chest, sleeve, back, and shorts
- Player names and numbers in the typeface you want on-kit
