Sublimated transfers, also known as sublimated print transfers, offer a sleek look for modern or vintage, multi-colored logos with a high level of detail. Sublimated transfers can be used on many types of custom logo apparel including shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets, hats, caps, and more. For headwear such as hats, sublimated transfers work best on polyester foam front hats. Best selling foam trucker hats for sublimated transfers include Otto 39-165, Decky 6025, Nissun SSC/SPC, Richardson 113/213, Otto 32-467, Valucap VC700, and Yupoong 6320.
Sublimation prints are fused directly onto the fabric through heat press application. Weather and outdoor conditions can affect the decoration, but sublimated transfers are more durable than screen printed transfers. The maximum decoration size for sublimated transfers on headwear is 2 1/4”H x 5 1/2”W. For headwear, sublimated transfers work best on five panel hats without a seam in the front, especially when using heat press application.
Sublimated transfers offer a higher level of detail for logos compared to embroidery and this works well for brands or businesses looking to add a more detailed logo, design, or picture to custom logo apparel. Sublimated transfers can accommodate a lot of colors and really bring a logo or design to life. This is helpful in getting your brand out there and impressing potential buyers or customers.
