"Great quality printed patches! The sublimation printing is vibrant and the patches feel substantial. Only wish there was a bit more texture, but that's just the nature of printing vs embroidery."

Frequently Asked Questions

Dye-sublimation printing is a process where special dye is transferred to polyester fabric using heat. The dye actually becomes part of the fabric, resulting in vibrant, permanent prints that won't crack, fade, or peel. It's the best method for reproducing photographs and complex gradients.

No! Sublimation printed patches can use unlimited colors at no extra cost. We work in full CMYK color space, so you can include photographs, gradients, and complex artwork without worrying about color limits or additional charges.

Sublimation printed patches are very durable! Since the dye becomes part of the fabric, the print won't crack or peel like screen printing. They can be washed repeatedly and maintain their vibrancy. However, they don't have the raised texture of embroidered patches.

Absolutely! That's what printed patches excel at. We can reproduce photographs, digital art, and complex illustrations with exceptional clarity. Just provide a high-resolution image (300 DPI or higher) and we'll handle the rest.
