Sublimation printing
Sublimation uses heat to transfer special dyes into polyester or a suitable polymer-coated product. It produces a colourful image without a conventional thick surface film and suits light polyester textiles and mugs manufactured for sublimation.
What should you check before ordering?
An ordinary uncoated mug or cotton shirt is not automatically compatible. Sublimation does not print white, so the base colour influences the image. The mug calculator applies to printing on a standard compatible coated mug. Unusual formats, shapes and textiles require a separate quotation. Care instructions depend on the product coating.

Techniques and artwork limits
The figures below come from the supplier’s technical guide. They are not universal limits for every product. Suitability, marking area, colours and care must be confirmed for the selected product and artwork before ordering.
Send the logo as AI, SVG, EPS or vector PDF. For photographs use at least 300 dpi at final print size only where the technique supports images. Lettering must remain legible at actual size; negative detail means an unprinted line or letter within a printed area.
Care: for textiles prefer washing inside out at up to 30°C, avoid bleach, tumble drying and ironing directly on the marking, unless the product requires stricter care. For drinkware prefer hand washing; dishwasher suitability needs confirmation for the item and decoration.
