What is the difference between flex printing, sublimation and full-colour transfers on sportswear?
Are you curious about the different printing techniques we use to print your sportswear? As specialists for sportswear and materials, we know how important it is that your clothes not only look good, but are also durable and functional. In this blog, we explain the difference between flex printing, sublimation and full-colour transfers - and what this means for your sportswear outfit.
Flex printing: Tight and robust printing
With flex printing, we cut out your design in vinyl and then press it onto the clothes. This is the most commonly used printing technique with us. We work with two types of vinyl here: turbo flex and premium flex, allowing you to print both the very largest and smallest letters perfectly. Flex printing is ideal if you are looking for a clean and robust print that can withstand regular washing - up to a maximum of 60 degrees in the washing machine. Moreover, the materials used are eco-friendly and contain no harmful substances. Choose flex printing if you want a simple, powerful and durable print for your teamwear or sports outfit.
Full-colour Transfers: Details and Colourful Appearance
Sometimes you want more detail and colour in your design, for example with a photo or a complex logo. Then full-colour transfers are the best choice. With this technique, all colours in your design are rendered optimally and all fine details come into their own. After printing, the design is contour-cut to avoid annoying white edges all around. Full-colour transfers are not only suitable for small orders, but also for large runs. This ensures that your team or brand always has a professional and eye-catching appearance.
Sublimation: Seamless and Wear-resistant Result
With sublimation printing, also known as dri-fit or cool-fit, you use heat-sensitive ink that mixes with the surface of the clothing, usually polyester. This means that the print does not lie as a layer on the fabric, but is fully integrated into it. The result is a highly wash-resistant print that is hard-wearing, ideal for sportswear that is used intensively. Sublimation ensures a seamless and durable finish, so your design will look like new even after many washings.
