Professional Sublimation Printing Services for Apparel & Merchandise
Sublimation printing is one of the most reliable ways to create bold, long-lasting designs on apparel and merchandise. It allows full-color prints that do not fade, crack, or peel. The print becomes part of the fabric, not a layer on top.
At Cord Apparel, we provide professional sublimation printing services for brands that care about quality, consistency, and scale. From startups to established labels, we support businesses with dependable production, accurate colors, and smooth order handling.
As a trusted sublimation printing company, we help you turn your designs into finished products that are ready for retail, promotion, or resale.
What Is Sublimation Printing?
Sublimation printing is a process where special dye-based inks are transferred onto fabric using heat and pressure. Instead of sitting on the surface, the ink turns into gas and bonds directly with the fibers.
This bonding creates a smooth finish with no texture. The design becomes part of the fabric itself.
A professional sublimation printing service is ideal for designs that require:
- Full-color artwork
- Sharp details and gradients
- All-over prints
- Long-term durability
Sublimation works best on polyester fabrics and polyester-coated surfaces. It is widely used in apparel, sportswear, and branded merchandise.

Sublimation Printing vs Other Printing Methods
Choosing the right printing method depends on your design and product goals.
Sublimation vs Screen Printing
Screen printing is best for basic designs with fewer colors. It has logos and flat graphics. Sublimation is more suitable for detailed artwork, color blends, and designs that cover the entire garment.
Sublimation vs DTG Printing
DTG printing places ink on the surface of the fabric, which can wear off after repeated washing. Sublimation becomes part of the fabric itself, making it more durable on polyester-based materials.
Best Use Cases for Sublimation
Sublimation works well for sportswear, activewear, and branded merchandise where strong colors and wash resistance are important.
