These innovative solutions not only elevate the quality of your designs but also provide a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to traditional patch methods. With World Emblem, long lead times are a thing of the past—trust us to simplify your patch needs and deliver outstanding results.
In the world of garment decoration, the term “sublimated” is often used, but what does it actually mean for your artwork? Sublimation is a high-quality printing process that uses heat and pressure to transfer designs onto materials—typically polyester. This process turns special inks into gas, allowing them to permeate the fabric, creating a permanent, vibrant image that won’t fade or crack over time.
The key advantages of sublimated patches lie in their durability and intricate detailing. Unlike traditional embroidered or woven patches, sublimated patches eliminate concerns about thread fraying or artwork distortion. The crisp, clearly printed design remains intact even through extensive wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting visual appeal.
Expand Your Decoration Possibilities
Your decoration method should never limit your creative potential. If your artwork features multiple colors and your preferred patch type charges extra for each thread color, sublimation offers an ideal alternative. Since sublimated patches are digitally printed onto fabric, every color in your design can be faithfully reproduced, including photorealistic images and specific PMS color matching.
Sublimated patches are a perfect choice for uniforms, headwear, hard goods, and rugged apparel such as jeans. Designed to withstand demanding conditions, they are particularly well-suited for trades and workforce uniforming. Additionally, backing options like Velcro make them an excellent choice for industries such as law enforcement and fire services, where easy application and removal are essential.
For those seeking an added touch of luxury, faux suede sublimated patches offer an elevated alternative. These patches maintain the same full-color imprinting capabilities as standard sublimated patches but are crafted from a soft, sustainable, and vegan-friendly faux suede material. The result is a sophisticated, high-quality look and feel that enhances the perceived value of any design.
