Why Sublimation Tees Are a Must-Have
Colors That Last
Unlike screen printing or vinyl, sublimation doesn’t sit on top of the fabric. Instead, the ink bonds with the fibers, so your prints won’t crack, peel, or fade. Even after dozens of washes, sublimation tees stay vibrant.
Soft & Comfortable
Because the ink becomes part of the shirt, sublimation tees feel smooth, light, and breathable. There’s no heavy vinyl layer or rough texture—just pure comfort.
Perfect for Custom Projects
Whether you’re making gifts, event shirts, or launching a small business, sublimation tees give your creations a professional finish. They’re ideal for personalized products that wow customers and look great in any setting.
Limitless Creativity
Want to print photo-quality images or all-over patterns? Sublimation tees make it possible. Full-color designs, intricate graphics, and bold statement prints are easy to achieve when you choose sublimation.
Pro Design Tips: Creating Show-Stopping Sublimation Tees
Creating professional-quality sublimation tees requires understanding both technical requirements and design best practices. Follow these expert tips from Berry Crafts to get results that stand out:
1. Image Resolution Requirements
Never compromise on image quality. Always work with files at 300 DPI (dots per inch) or higher at the size you plan to print. Lower-resolution images will look blurry or pixelated once transferred.
2. Color Management
Expect sublimation colors to shift slightly during the heat press process. They often appear more vibrant and sometimes differ from what you see on your screen. Calibrate your monitor and run small test prints to ensure predictable results.
3. Design Sizing and Placement
For adult sublimation tees, place your design 3–4 inches below the collar seam and centered horizontally for a balanced look. Standard print sizes range from 8×10 inches for chest graphics to 12×14 inches for larger, statement-making designs.
4. File Preparation Best Practices
Save your files in PNG format with a transparent background for clean results. Double-check alignment and scaling before pressing to avoid wasted materials. Always mirror your design before printing to ensure it transfers correctly.
