In the world of event apparel—whether it’s a city marathon, a local football tournament, or a large-scale corporate sports day—branding, comfort, and delivery time are critical. For businesses sourcing gear for these events, balancing quality with budget while ensuring fast turnaround is often a challenge.
This is where sublimation printing on polyester shirts, polos, shorts, and other garments truly shines. At Gift In Garments, we specialize in providing B2B buyers with high-performance sublimation sportswear, manufactured directly in our China-based facility with 15 advanced production lines. Whether you’re an event organizer, company purchaser, or reseller, we’re your expert partner for premium, fully customized sublimation apparel.
What Is Sublimation Printing?
Sublimation printing is a cutting-edge garment decoration method where heat and pressure are used to transfer dye directly into the fabric. Unlike screen printing or heat transfer methods, sublimation doesn’t just sit on top of the garment—it becomes part of the fabric.
This method works best with polyester fabrics, making it ideal for sportswear and event gear, which require breathability, moisture-wicking, and durability.
Why Sublimation Printing Stands Out for B2B Custom Apparel Orders
1. Vibrant, Long-Lasting Colors
Sublimation printers produce images with unmatched vibrancy. The ink fuses with the fabric, ensuring colors won’t fade, peel, or crack even after heavy use or repeated washing. For marathon events or sports leagues, this means your branding stays sharp and professional throughout the season.
2. All-Over Customization
With sublimation, there are no limits on design placement. You can print edge-to-edge, including sleeves, sides, collars, and even inside tags. This is crucial for brands needing bold visibility or for event gear requiring complex logos or sponsor designs.
3. Lightweight and Breathable
Sublimated apparel retains the natural feel of the fabric. Since there’s no added layer of ink or vinyl, garments remain light, breathable, and flexible—critical for sublimation sports garments like marathon tops, shorts, and sublimation T-shirts used in dynamic environments.
4. Cost-Effective for Bulk Orders
Unlike embroidery or screen printing, which have setup costs and color limitations, sublimation allows for low-cost production even for complex, multi-color designs—especially when ordering in bulk.
5. Quick Turnaround for Tight Deadlines
Our streamlined production at Gift In Garments enables fast processing of large B2B orders. We understand that event organizers often face tight deadlines and sudden changes. Our mature sublimation system and experienced staff ensure your order is delivered on time, every time.
Applications of Sublimation in Different Apparel Scenarios
Sublimation isn’t just for T-shirts—it’s a complete solution for a wide range of event apparel:
Sublimation T-Shirts & Polos
Perfect for corporate events, sports festivals, or marketing campaigns. Polos offer a smart look for staff uniforms, while T-shirts deliver comfort for participants.
Sublimation Shorts
Ideal for marathons, training events, or team sports. Our shorts are durable, quick-dry, and custom-branded—great for brand visibility and athlete performance.
Sublimation Jersey Sets (Baseball, Soccer, Rugby, Ice Hockey)
For sports leagues or community tournaments, sublimated jersey sets provide a professional look while ensuring performance through breathability and freedom of movement.
Event Merchandise: Drawstring Bags and Accessories
Extend your branding with sublimation blanks like bags or hats—great for giveaways or event merchandise.
