Printing and embroidery on apparel
Sublimation uses heat to turn dye into gas that bonds with polyester fibres. The result becomes part of the fabric: no peel, no crack, no raised edge.
This guide explains exactly what sublimation can produce and its one big limitation.
Our printing and embroidery pages show what we produce in-house, from single samples to full uniform programmes. For the full range we produce, see our sublimation printing service page.

How the process works
Every order follows the same simple path from brief to delivery:
- Choose the garment, colour and the print or embroidery technique.
- Send your artwork or logo file for pre-production approval.
- We produce a printed or stitched sample for larger orders.
- Full production, quality check and UAE delivery follow.
Buying tips
A few practical points before you place the order:
- Only use white or very light polyester - sublimation won't show on dark cotton.
- Design at full resolution so edge-to-edge prints stay sharp.
- Confirm fabric content before quoting - blends reduce results.
- Approve a mule or sample if the print wraps around seams.
Quick answers
What fabrics work with sublimation?
Polyester and polyester-rich blends only; the dye bonds with synthetic fibres.
Why doesn't sublimation work on cotton?
The dye gas can't bond with natural fibres, so light background areas show through.
What can be sublimated besides T-shirts?
Mugs, flags, banners, polos, jerseys and many polyester products.
Is sublimation durable?
Very - the print is part of the fabric and won't crack or peel.
