Branding & Printing Method

Sublimation Printing

Sublimation printing uses heat to transfer full-colour artwork into compatible products such as lanyards, wristbands, ribbons and selected event items. It is useful for bright campaign artwork, repeat patterns and edge-to-edge colour where the material supports it.
