The Advantages of Sublimated Sportswear

One of the most popular methods of printing today is called sublimation. It is probably the best method to get high-resolution images and designs printed on a shirt. There is no resolution loss when compared to the original and it is very clear. Because of this, sublimated sportswear has become a popular choice for teams in different sports.

What is Sublimation?

Normally when printing on a surface, there is usually a step that involves water or liquid. Sublimation is actually the process of turning solid into a gas without going through the liquid phase by using a chemical reaction.

In order to create sublimated sportswear, a digital printer is first needed to create the image or design onto a sublimation transfer paper with the ink. The paper is then placed onto a heat press along with the sportswear and it will be exposed to extremely high heats reaching more than 200°C.

The exposure to heat allows the ink to transfer from the paper to the material directly from solid to gas. No liquid state. 

Once the ink is in gas form, they are able to permeate the fibres of the sportswear and stay in there. After heat is removed from the equation, the ink left inside starts to solidify and is locked in permanently. 

The high heat also serves a secondary purpose where it helps open up the pores of the sportswear so that the ink can get in easily. And once the heat is removed, it closes the pores as well. This is how sublimated sportswear achieves its high-quality look and design.

Advantages of Sublimated Sportswear

There are a lot of advantages when using sublimation to print on sportswear. This is why it has become a popular choice for different sports such as darts, BMX, fishing, team racing, and many more.

Colour

As mentioned a few times already, one of the main advantages of sublimated sportswear is that it displays graphics and design like no other. It allowed for beautiful and sophisticated designs to be possible like the Storm sublimated dart shirt. 

This process can even be used to place photographs onto the sportswear.

Cost-Efficient

When you consider the amount of colour and design that sublimated sportswear can carry, this is a very good deal. Try to do the same using different methods and not only will it be more expensive, but the result would be very different as well.

Strong Print

Unlike others, sublimation is a very strong print. Because it permeates the fabric itself, it actually becomes part of the sportswear. It will not scratch off or wash off no matter how many times it goes through hand washing. This is another point why this process can be considered a cost-efficient is because it will last a long time.

Ride like a Pro with Spida Sports BMX Jerseys

Ride and look like a pro cyclist require the proper riding apparel. At Spida Sports, we take pride in bringing out the best designs for you to select from.

Our BMX Jersey keeps you aerodynamic, comfortable and has ample pockets for storing items.

Perfect Fit 

We have a BMX jersey that fits both women and men. Women’s and men’s cuts in jerseys and tops vary. Women’s jerseys are designed to emphasise the waist and flare at the hips for a natural and flattering fit whereas men’s have a box shape often with a slight taper to the waist.

Fabrics

Jerseys that are made from fabrics that wick moisture to keep you dry, comfortable and cooler on warm days are ideal. There are new specially treated fabrics that actually increase the cooling sensation.

Sleeves

Sleeves are another consideration. Fitted jerseys often have raglan sleeves for ease of movement. Raglan sleeves are triangular in shape which seams start from the neck and wraps around the shoulder and upper arm. Set-in sleeves are like those of a traditional T-shirt which start at the shoulder and cover the upper arm. More casual design is to have a cap sleeve, a small, short sleeve that starts from the shoulder.

Pockets

Many BMX rider jerseys will have pockets. Manufacturers add pockets for a better fit and to carry rider’s essentials. Additionally, some designs incorporate a hidden rear pocket for an MP3 player, phone or keys. Casual and mountain styles will often have one hidden zip back pocket.

Hem

Most jerseys have elastic at the waist to help keep it in place. Some also add a gripper to keep the jersey from sliding up over your hips as you change positions.

Zipper

Some jerseys have zippers that make it easier to get it on/off and allows for ventilation. Longer zippers allow more air to circulate. A full zip is convenient as you don’t need to remove your helmet to take off your jersey. Jerseys with invisible zippers are also available as it does not interfere with the jersey’s print design.

Top 5 features of Sublimation Uniforms that make everyone love it

Digital printing technology has advanced vastly in modern days and as result, it's merged and diversified the printing industries. In past, we saw this type of development and adaptation with the rise of eco-solvent printers, and now with dye-sublimation printers.

The sublimation idea of uniforms has taken the printing world by storm. The idea is to allow users to digitally add custom graphics to clothing, chairs, snowboards, fabrics, promotional products and more. For many printing businesses, this quick and effective digital printing services are replacing traditional screen-printing for output that requires multiple colours and photographic imagery.

So why people are choosing sublimation uniforms over traditional screen printing? Here are top 5 features of sublimation uniforms that make everyone love it. 

    1. Uniqueness

One of the main features of sublimated shirts is that it is unique. Unique in a sense that even If you are printing the same print in various other shirts, each and every piece will be different to other. If you are ordering a large order of same prints, there is always an unnoticeable difference between them.

2. Customisation      

Customised polo shirts

The main reason why people are choosing sublimated shirts for traditional prints is that of its full-customisation ability. The sublimation dye process allows the user to customise the designs and colours the way they want. Also, the sublimation process has the ability to choose from unlimited colours using large CMYK printer with special ink, unlike screen printing which requires screens for each colour of the design.

3. Low cost

The sublimation printing process is economically viable for small-quantity printing whereas the unit cost is similar in both short and long production runs. The screen printing process has higher setup cost and large production is needed to be cost-effective, and the unit cost is higher than its counterpart.

4. Wrinkle-free

Sublimated Shirts

As we all witnessed with normal printing shirts, after wash, the prints tend to crack and separate away from the shirts. But with sublimated prints, there is no cracking or peeling and they last as you are in the hold of the garment. Also, the sublimated shirts are made with polyester fabric that is light and cool in the summertime and after the wash, it does not wrinkle as it is the problem with normal prints and woollen or cotton shirts.

5. Sublimation is forever

Sublimation process has solved one of the major problems we had with the normal printing process, that is colour fading. The design is rather dyed into the threads of the shirt rather than printing on top of the garment, ensuring it will never fade.

Sublimation shirt is the next big thing that the world will embrace and as the world is adapting the new development in the printing process, we believe it is the cornerstone that every printing company that needs to aspire to focus on. At Spida sports, Sublimation prints are our speciality and we aspire to supply the guaranteed quality goods with the customised print that our customer wants.
