Sublimation

A colorful solution where other techniques hit color and gradient limits. Applied by heat, the design becomes part of the surface it lands on, with a super smooth finish and great print definition — and you can apply the designs at your own pace, in your own plant.

The qualities

Two ways to sublimate

The same process on two bases — a cut woven label, or a continuous ribbon or elastic.

Sublime™ Labels
Sublime Ribbons
Photographic on woven

Sublime™ Labels

Sublime™ woven labels combine the elegance and quality of woven labels and polyester ribbons with multicolor printing, gradients and special backgrounds. They can be produced in our Elite™ quality — premium high-definition damask — in micro-weave taffeta or in satin, each offering a super smooth finish and great printing definition.

Sublime Ribbons

We can embellish your ribbons and elastics with multicolored and gradient designs — the same sublimation process, applied to a continuous base rather than a cut label.

Questions

The things buyers ask first

Do all of your factories use the same type of machines and are the quality and products the same across countries?
+
