At Starhawk, our Sublimation printing service produces vibrant, full-color graphics that become part of the fabric rather than sitting on its surface. From all-over prints and custom jerseys to complex patterns and detailed artwork, we deliver sharp, durable designs with consistent color and coverage across production runs.

Engineered for Full-Color Apparel

Sublimation is ideal for polyester-based garments requiring detailed artwork, gradients, photographs, patterns, and all-over coverage. The dye is transferred into the fabric fibers through controlled heat, creating a smooth finish without the heavy surface feel associated with traditional printing methods.

Starhawk works from your approved artwork, color references, garment specifications, and placement requirements to produce custom sublimated apparel for brands, sportswear companies, private-label programs, wholesalers, and professional buyers.

Starhawk Sublimation Capabilities

All-Over Printing

We produce full-coverage designs across garment panels, allowing artwork, patterns, gradients, and branding to flow across the front, back, sleeves, and other specified areas.

Full-Color Graphics

Sublimation allows detailed artwork with multiple colors, gradients, textures, illustrations, and complex visual elements to be reproduced with excellent definition.

Custom Jerseys

We manufacture sublimated jerseys with custom graphics, numbers, names, logos, patterns, and color combinations according to your approved specifications.

Photo & Detailed Artwork

High-detail designs, photographic graphics, intricate patterns, and complex artwork can be reproduced without the limitations of traditional screen-print color separation.

Seam-to-Seam Design

Artwork can be planned across individual garment panels to create continuous visual designs and comprehensive coverage throughout the finished garment.

Performance Apparel

Sublimation is well suited to polyester-based performance garments where lightweight graphics and breathable fabric surfaces are important to the product design.

Our Sublimation Production Process

01 — Artwork Review

We review your artwork, color requirements, garment specifications, dimensions, panel layouts, and print coverage before production begins.

02 — Digital Artwork Preparation

Approved artwork is prepared and positioned across the required garment panels according to the production pattern and design specifications.

03 — Color Management

Artwork and color settings are prepared to achieve consistent reproduction across the production run while maintaining the approved visual appearance.

04 — Transfer Printing

Artwork is digitally printed onto sublimation transfer paper using suitable dye-sublimation inks and controlled printing parameters.

05 — Heat Transfer

The printed transfer is applied to the polyester fabric using controlled temperature, pressure, and timing to infuse the dye into the fabric fibers.

06 — Garment Assembly

Printed panels can then proceed through cutting and stitching according to the approved garment pattern and construction requirements.

07 — Final Inspection

Finished garments are inspected for color consistency, artwork alignment, print coverage, panel matching, garment construction, and overall appearance.

Full-Color Freedom

Sublimation supports detailed graphics, gradients, patterns, photographs, and complex artwork without traditional color-count limitations.

All-Over Coverage

Designs can extend across complete garment panels to create seamless-looking, full-coverage visual concepts.

Lightweight Finish

Because the dye becomes part of the fabric, sublimated graphics maintain a smooth surface without a heavy layer of ink sitting on top.

Durable Graphics

Properly produced sublimated graphics are designed to maintain their appearance through regular wear and washing without the typical cracking or peeling associated with surface-applied prints.

Production Consistency

Controlled artwork preparation, printing, heat transfer, and inspection processes help maintain consistent results across production quantities.

Integrated Manufacturing

Sublimation can be integrated with Starhawk’s Cut & Sew, embroidery, screen printing, rhinestone, chenille, labeling, finishing, and packing services.
