Dye sublimation, edge to edge, full color.
Dye sublimation turns ink into gas that bonds permanently into polyester fibers — so the color becomes part of the fabric. That means unlimited full color, edge-to-edge coverage, and a print you literally can't feel, crack or fade.
The short answer
Dye sublimation at a glance
Printology's dye-sublimation printing infuses full-color artwork directly into polyester, giving you photo-real, all-over designs with no borders and no texture. Because the dye becomes part of the fiber, sublimated prints won't crack or peel and resist fading. It's the method behind our full-color custom bandanas and neck gaiters, and any design that needs edge-to-edge coverage — with a free proof and worldwide shipping.

What customers say
“I ordered sublimated bandanas for pets. While other vendors only offer one or two size options, Printology has three — plus three printing options. Their reps are unbelievably responsive, and I highly recommend them.”
“I had a last-minute, small-batch print job for custom bandanas. I worked with Cristian, who provided excellent customer service. My bandanas turned out great and were delivered on time. Highly recommend!”
“I was in a pinch when another vendor fell through. Printology had my order scheduled for delivery in 7–10 days and even upgraded my quality. Ten out of ten service — would highly recommend.”

FAQ
Custom Dye Sublimation questions, answered
What is dye sublimation printing?
Dye sublimation uses heat to turn solid dye into a gas that bonds permanently into polyester fibers. The design becomes part of the fabric, so it's full-color, edge-to-edge, and has zero texture — you can't feel it, and it won't crack or peel.
What products can you dye-sublimate?
Anything polyester: our full-color custom bandanas, satin cut & sew bandanas and neck gaiters, plus performance apparel and all-over designs. Cotton can't be sublimated — for cotton, use screen printing or DTG.
Can you print all the way to the edge?
Yes — full-bleed, edge-to-edge coverage with no borders is exactly what sublimation does best. The design covers the entire product corner to corner.
How many colors can dye sublimation print?
Unlimited. Sublimation reproduces full-color photos, gradients and patterns with no per-color cost, the same as DTG but on polyester.
Is dye sublimation durable?
It's one of the most durable decoration methods. Because the dye bonds into the fiber rather than sitting on top, sublimated prints won't crack or peel, and they resist fading wash after wash.
What's the minimum order for dye sublimation?
Just 12 pieces for sublimated bandanas and gaiters. You can see exact pricing and design online in seconds.
