Sublimation Hoodies and Sweatshirts FAQs

Does Sublimation Work on Hoodies?

Yes, sublimation works on hoodies made with polyester fabric. Sublimation ink bonds with the polyester fibers when heated, allowing the design to become part of the hoodie’s fabric. 

What Hoodies and Sweatshirts Can You Sublimate On?

You can sublimate on hoodies and sweatshirts made from either 100% polyester or a high-polyester fabric blend. 

What Are the Best Hoodies and Sweatshirts for Sublimation Printing? 

The best hoodies and sweatshirts for sublimation printing are white or light-colored and made with at least 65% polyester. 

Can I Customize Sublimation Sweatshirts for Sports Teams?

Yes! You can sublimate these polyester sweatshirts and hoodies with team names, numbers, logos, mascots, and other designs. You can also use our sublimation basketball and football jerseys to create coordinated custom uniforms and team apparel. 

How to Sublimate a Hoodie? 

Start by printing a design with sublimation ink onto sublimation paper sized for the hoodie. Place the transfer face down on a hoodie made of polyester or a high-polyester fabric blend. Secure the design with heat-resistant tape to prevent shifting, then apply pressure with a flat press or a clamshell heat press. Carefully remove the paper after pressing to complete the sublimation process. 

How Do I Ensure Vibrant Colors When Sublimating Hoodies?

For the most vibrant colors, use 100% polyester hoodies in white or another light color. You should also make sure to secure the sublimation print against the garment with sublimation tape. This prevents the print from shifting during sublimation, which can cause ghosting and other printing issues. Finally, make sure to follow your heat press manufacturer’s recommended temperature, pressure, and time settings to achieve the most vibrant results.
