Choosing the right customization method for your racing shirts is essential. At CustomerAceTShirts, we offer both sublimation and screen printing, each with unique advantages for race teams. Understanding the differences can help you pick the best option.
Sublimated shirts are perfect for full-color, all-over designs. This process embeds the ink into the fabric, creating vibrant graphics that don’t fade, peel, or crack. For teams that want dynamic designs with gradients, logos, and bold colors, sublimation is ideal.
Screen printing uses ink pressed onto the fabric surface, creating sharp, bold logos and designs. It works well for simple, single or multi-color logos and provides durability that lasts through washes and heavy use. Teams who want traditional, high-contrast designs often choose screen printing.
Material choice plays a role in the final look and feel. Sublimation works best on polyester or poly-blend fabrics, which are lightweight and breathable. Screen printing can be applied to cotton, blends, or even moisture-wicking fabrics, offering flexibility for different team needs.
Design versatility is another factor. Sublimation allows for unlimited colors, patterns, and gradients, while screen printing works best with defined shapes and solid colors. Combining both methods can give teams unique, professional results.
Cost and turnaround time are also important. Sublimation can be slightly higher in cost due to full-color printing, but it’s excellent for detailed artwork. Screen printing is cost-effective for bulk orders with fewer colors. At CustomerAceTShirts, we guide teams to the best choice based on budget and design.
Durability and performance matter on race day. Sublimated shirts maintain softness and breathability, while screen-printed shirts withstand repeated washes and heavy activity. Both methods provide long-lasting, high-quality apparel that enhances your team’s look.
Ultimately, the right method depends on your team’s goals. Whether you choose sublimation, screen printing, or a combination, CustomerAceTShirts ensures every shirt meets the highest quality standards for racers, crews, and fans alike.
