Wholesale Blank Apparel for Sublimation

Shop the best selection of sublimation blanks with ShirtSpace! Sublimation is the art of customizing apparel by transforming solid ink into gas without passing through the liquid phase using heat and pressure. The outcome is fantastically sleek graphics that screen printed and vinyl designs just can’t accomplish. The sublimated design is literally infused into the fibers of the fabric. If you closed your eyes and ran your hand over the design, you wouldn’t be able to feel a difference in the fabric where the image was placed. The perfect sublimation shirts are hard to come by, so thankfully we curated the best choices for this type of decorating!

Top-Rated Polyester Blanks for Sublimation

A restriction with sublimating on blank apparel is that you must use a white or light colored fabric. A white t-shirt or hoodie will make your colors bright and vivid. Other colors beside white will only show some ink colors. In order to sublimate with the best results, you must have a garment made of at least 65% polyester. Luckily at ShirtSpace we have a variety of 100% polyester and polyester blend t-shirts, polyester sweatshirts and other blank apparel for sublimation blanks!

Polyester Blends To Use For Sublimation

Not everyone likes the look and feel of a 100% polyester shirt, so it can be confusing trying to figure out what fabrications you can sublimate on. Let us take the guesswork out of it for you! Sublimation t-shirts must have at least 65% polyester within their material make up, which is the minimum recommended amount for a highly saturated print. For those that like sublimating on trendy styles beyond performance wear, this is a game changer!

100% Polyester T-Shirts for Sublimation

There is no denying that 100% polyester shirts sublimate beautifully. Polyester is the ideal material to create very vivid designs that lock in the colors of the dye straight into the fibers of the fabric. We love polyester because it is moisture-wicking, feels cool and sleek to the touch, and won’t wrinkle. Polyester shirts for sublimation will not shrink or lose shape like some other materials. These 100% polyester sublimation blanks are fantastic options for athletic uniforms or drastic weather conditions to help regulate the temperature of the wearer.

Best Tees For Bleaching & Sublimation

If you want to bleach and tee and then sublimate on it, you have to be more selective when choosing your polyester shirts for sublimation. Bleaching tees before sublimation printing is become wildly popular in the world of apparel decoration. Since sublimated prints do not typically show up very well on any dark-colored fabrics, decorators have started to bleach a window where they would like to place the design. The other benefit to this is that you get a more everyday fabric, since not everyone likes the look and feel of 100% polyester, or polyester heavy garments that are often used for sublimation blanks.

Common FAQ About Sublimation

In scientific terms, sublimation printing is the process of transforming solid ink into gas without passing through the liquid phase. For garment decorating, this means that the ink permanently binds to the fibers of the fabric, locking in the colors. When you run your hand over the design, you will not be able to feel a difference between the overall fabric of the shirt and where the design was placed.

For sublimation printing, the lowest recommended amount of polyester for best results is typically 65%. Sublimation works best on synthetic fabrics such as polyester. The inks will not adhere to cotton. You technically can sublimate on less than 65% polyester (we have seen some beautiful results with 50/50 cotton/poly blends!) but your design might look very faded, worn and may not be to your liking—so keep that in mind. Another important factor besides material when selecting a shirt for sublimation is the color. During sublimation, the ink is dyeing the fibers themselves, not placing a design on top such as with screen printing or heat transfers. Because of this only certain colors should be used for sublimation printing. For the most vibrant and true colors possible - go with a white shirt. Pastels and very light colors will work, but you must keep in mind how your ink colors will mix with the fabric color. You shouldn’t sublimate on dark colors like black, charcoal or navy - you won’t see the design! The one exception is that some people like to bleach an area of dark colored shirts first and then sublimate them within the lightened area.

Polyester is typically most used in many athletic and sports-related apparel products. It’s naturally moisture-wicking, pulling sweat away from the skin where otherwise it would mix with bacteria and create unwanted odor. It feels cool and smooth against the skin and resists snags and stretching. They are made for longevity with simple washing and care instructions. A sublimated athletic tee is a great choice for lifeguards, bicyclists, water sports, softball teams, landscaping and construction crews, and more! Polos are many times made out of a high percentage of, if not completely from polyester. Polyester polos are a solid choice for sports teams, resort or amusement park staff, and other establishments where the workers need to look professional while also remaining cool and dry. Plus, polyester blends tend to have more fashionable styles available that could be worn as everyday wear. They are just more of a gamble when it comes to the end result - so always test first when possible!
