Textile sublimation
for garment customization 

Textile sublimation is a customization technique that enables printing from sublimation paper onto fabric. The ink on the sublimation paper "sublimates" and fuses with the fabric's fibers, which become more receptive due to the heat, incorporating and permanently fixing the ink.

When you opt for a Flexa sublimation hot calender, the outcome is a soft product with vibrant, brilliant colors that can withstand numerous washes. It is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.

Sublimation is also employed to stabilize the colors of products obtained through direct printing on fabrics.

Digital printing on fabrics vaunts a wide range of applications due to its high level of customization and its alignment with sustainability principles. Fabrics used in digital printing can be washed and reused multiple times, making them space-efficient for transportation and increasingly favored over PVC materials.

With textile sublimation, print transfer occurs on various synthetic fabrics, including woven, knitted, and non-woven (TNT) materials like polyester, nylon, acrylic, and more. Its versatility spans soft signage for banners, flags, store customization, event and fair branding, museum and educational settings, scenography, wall coverings, interior decoration such as curtains and cushions, and even custom sportswear. Sublimation allows fabrics to breathe because it does not clog the pores of the fabrics, making it ideal for athletic apparel.
