Sublimation
Passion Sports Custom specializes in providing high-quality, sublimated jerseys and apparel that stand out for their vibrant and durable designs. Using advanced digital printing techniques, sublimation involves pressing the ink into the fabric with high heat, ensuring that the colors and logos are seamlessly integrated and long-lasting. One of the key advantages of this process is the single set cost, allowing for the addition of multiple logos and intricate designs without any extra fees. Passion Sports Custom is the perfect choice for teams and groups looking to achieve a professional, major league look at a minor league price.
Always Available:
- Sublimated uniforms are made from scratch upon order.
- Exact reorders and fill-ins are always possible.
- Extend the life of your uniforms with the ability to reorder indefinitely.
- Avoid the frustration of planned obsolescence seen with major brands.
Durability:
- Sublimated designs bond with the fabric, ensuring they never crack, peel, or fade.
- Superior to silk screening or heat press, which degrade over time and with washing.
- Robust against repeated laundering.

- Sublimation preserves the performance characteristics of high-tech fabrics.

Potentially Longer Lead-Time
- New or replacement uniforms may have longer lead times.
- Immediate needs may not be met as quickly as stock garments.
- Stock garments can sometimes be delivered faster than sublimated ones, especially if out of season.
Susceptibility to “Picking”
- Polyester fabrics, especially knit, are prone to damage from abrasive or sharp objects.
- Velcro is particularly damaging, causing fibers to pull and pick.
- Belt buckles, keys, and other items can also cause damage if washed with the garment.
- Sublimated garments show picks more visibly due to the white base fabric.
- Design high-abrasion areas in lighter colors to mitigate visibility of picks.
Cost – An Advantage and Disadvantage
- Initial cost of sublimated garments is higher than simple stock garments with single-colour logos.
- Costs become comparable when additional colors, logos, numbers, and names are added.
- Sublimated garments are more cost-effective in the long run considering fill-in costs and durability.
At Passion Sports Custom, we maintain a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 10 jerseys for our sublimated apparel. This MOQ ensures that we can efficiently manage production while offering competitive pricing and high-quality customization. Additionally, as your order quantity increases, the cost per jersey decreases, making it more cost-effective to outfit larger teams or groups. Whether you're outfitting a small team or a larger organization, our pricing structure is designed to provide you with the best value and quality.
We do have some samples available here at Passion Sports Headquarters in Victoria, B.C that you can review. For any specific samples we don't have in stock, it may take up to 3 weeks to order them in and additional time to ship directly to you.
