Sublimation Jersey Manufacturer — Custom Team Uniforms

Sublimation is the right decoration choice for sports uniforms, club kits, and any design with complex colors or full-bleed panels. It's the wrong choice for cotton t-shirts (sublimation only embeds into polyester fibers — cotton won't take the dye). Our sublimation setup: Italian Monti and Korean dye-sub paper, Atexco-class roll-to-roll printers for bulk, Mimaki TS500P for sample runs, calandar heat-press transfer, 100% polyester fabrics in 110/140/160/200/220/250/280 GSM (interlock, mesh, dazzle, micro-mesh, 4-way stretch poly-spandex). 8-color CMYK + 4 special channels standard. Real cost comparison vs alternatives for a 50-piece custom baseball jersey order: • Sublimation: $8.50-12 FOB (full design freedom, infinite colors) • Screen print: $6.50-9 FOB (limited to 6 colors, design areas) • Embroidery: $9-13 FOB (limited to small logo/lettering) • Tackle twill: $10-14 FOB (legacy 'authentic' look, limited to letters/numbers) For team programs (jerseys + matching shorts/pants in same design), the sublimation pattern is shared so the second piece amortizes the print setup cost. Effective per-unit pricing drops 20-30% on the combo. Lead time 25-35 days for 50-piece orders; sample turnaround 7-10 days for first article. Pantone TCX color matching with print-strike approval before bulk. Send the artwork (AI/PSD/PDF preferred) via contact form.
