Sublimation Printing for Narrow Fabrics
Sublimation printing is a precision method that permanently embeds chosen colour into the fabric, ideal for detailed graphics, branded webbing, and military camouflage applications.
How It Works:
- Designs are printed onto transfer paper using sublimation inks
- The printed design is heat-pressed onto the narrow fabric
- Under heat and pressure, the ink turns to gas and fuses into the fibres producing a long-lasting and abrasion resistant print
Advantages for PPE & Performance Webbing
- Permanent Prints – Will not fade, peel, or wash out
- No Added Texture or Weight – Maintains the softness and flexibility of the fabric
- Highly Detailed Graphics – Ideal for logos, gradients, or intricate designs
- Perfect for Lightweight Applications – Superior to screen printing or heat transfer patches
Military Applications Include
- Load-Carrying Vests and MOLLE Panels
- Rifle Slings and Tactical Belts
- Helmet Straps and Retention Systems
- Field Harnesses for PPE
- Identification Tags and Lanyards
