Sublimation Patches

Complex Artwork? Not a problem with Sublimated Patches

Sublimated patches are created by employing a dye sublimation printing process. Your design is printed using specialty inks, which are then transferred onto the fabric of the patch. This method ensures the ink never fades or bleeds, maintaining the vibrant quality of your design. Since this process is done digitally, we can achieve the highest quality and detail for a custom patch. Sublimated patches offer the same customization options as our woven patches, so you can rest assured that you will not miss out on any choices.

Dye Sublimation is ideal for those seeking detailed and vibrant custom patches.

Versions & Sublimated Patches

Customize your sublimated patch with the ability to add versions. A ‘version’ is a minor modification or variation in your artwork. Changes in colors fall under the version category as well as small text changes (ie. personalized names). Please note that any significant changes to the artwork or design, such as changing shapes, or size of the patch, do not fall under ‘versions’ and must be processed as separate orders. We charge a flat fee of $25 for each version change.

Unmatched Color Accuracy

Dye sublimation printing delivers extremely accurate and vibrant colors that won't dull or fade with washing. This printing method ensures vivid, lifelike colors. It accurately reproduces every color shade, enabling the creation of detailed and complex designs with exceptional precision.

Mixing Sublimation Printing and Embroidery

Combining sublimation printing with embroidery introduces a realm of creative possibilities, prominently displayed in the innovative approach of dual-process patches. These patches utilize both dye-sublimation and embroidery processes to craft unique patches with an elevated feel. Initially, the desired artwork is printed onto the polyester patch backing, followed by embroidery to finalize the design and give a three-dimensional, textured look to the patch. The combination of these two techniques opens up a new frontier of customization, as the fabric backing acts as a canvas for intricate embroidery. This fusion not only expands design possibilities but also enhances the visual appeal and tactile richness of the patches, offering a truly distinctive and personalized option in the industry.
