Clothes
Clothes are still one of the biggest earners for the printing industry. Most people want to adorn themselves in the latest fashions, or to customize their look to truly express themselves. That’s where sublimation printing comes in. The versatility of this technique means it can be used to make a wide variety of clothing types feel that much more personal, from a simple t-shirt to a funky custom dress. Below are some examples.
Sublimation t-shirts
When it comes to sublimation products, few are as universal as t-shirts. A tried and true benchmark of the clothing industry, the t-shirt is a great way to discover the popularity of sublimation printing. Printful offers a wide variety of custom t-shirts that are compatible with this technique and you can sell on your store. Here are a couple of examples.
All-Over Print Women’s Crew Neck T-Shirt
Made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, this t-shirt offers comfort, stretch, and a totally blank canvas for all the designs your customers love.
All-Over Print Men’s Crew Neck T-Shirt
Just like the women’s version, this light and stretchy polyester/elastane all-over print shirt is the perfect backdrop for your sublimation print designs.
Sublimation hoodies
Those who would like to stay cozy and warm in style during the colder months of the year might need a thicker material. The versatility of the sublimation printing technique means hoodies can also be completely personalized to fit your customers’ tastes.
All-Over Print Unisex Hoodie
Made primarily of recycled polyester, this custom hoodie is lined on the inside with a brushed fleece fabric, so your customers will stay warm on the inside and look cool on the outside.
Sublimation leggings
If your store’s niche is related to fitness, a leggings selection is an absolute must. Leggings alone account for $13 billion of the global sportswear market in 2023, and with sublimation printing, you can offer your customers a pair of leggings that will truly stand out at the gym, in yoga class, or on a jog in the park.

A good colorful design can set the right mood in any environment, and it’s often the little details that make all the difference.

No matter how daring the design, polyester towels with sublimation prints are totally safe to use in the shower, by the pool, or at the beach.
