Dye sublimation offers the highest level of flexibility in printing, enabling the creation of unique and personalised designs.
Put simply dye sublimation enables you to print whatever you like, however you like- be it solid colours, graduated colours, club badges, bespoke colours, numbers or individual names- directly onto the fabric. This printing technique uses the combination of heat and gas. When the plain garment is added the temperature climbs enabling the pores to open in the fabric and the dye sublimation ink is immediately transformed into gas. This allows the gas to permeate the garment. Once the heat is removed the sublimated ink will turn back to a solid form, allowing the pores in the fabric to close leaving the ink embedded directly into the heart of the garment.
Dye-sublimation is the latest advance in permanent printing, just like a tattoo, the ink actually impregnates the fabric, making its effect permanent and therefore unaffected by washing or ironing.
Dye-sublimation is available on garments from a number of different ranges, including rugby, football, hockey and netball, with a minimum order of 10 and lead times of six-eight weeks.

Does Dye Sublimation offer good value for money?
In some circumstances, dye sublimation can work out cheaper than our cut and sew garments. If you are a club wanting to add sponsors, badges, logos, names and numbers then all of this can be incorporated into your garment with no additional set-up or application charges.
How many designs are there for me to choose from?
With dye sublimation there are absolutely no limits. Unlike our cut and sew products dye sublimation offers a completely blank canvas. Simply select the garment you wish to order and let your imagination run free.
Can I add numbers, crests and logos?
Yes, you can add unlimited logos, numbers and crests when designing your garment, that is one of the beauties of sublimation. Anything you want incorporating into your design is added during development. Unlike printing and embroidery there are no set up charges or application fees.
Where can I put my logos?
Again the versatility of Dye Sublimation allows you complete freedom with regard to logo location. Be it standard chest or back logos or something a little different such as on the collar or sleeves of garments then anything is possible.
Am I limited to the number of colours I can have?
Some dye sublimation services will limit the number of colours you can have on your design, not GFORCE! With an unlimited colour palette to choose from, the possibilities are literally endless!
