We understand the importance of creating unique uniforms so that your team is able to stand out and distinguish themselves from the crowd, which is why we offer personalized clothing services for a variety of disciplines.
Why We Choose Sublimation
At La Crete, we use sublimation; a process by which designs are printed onto special paper and then transferred directly onto the fabric using heat.
We choose sublimation over other printing methods because it provides several unique benefits that allow us to produce the best custom uniforms the market has to offer.
- Limitless Possibilities: One of the greatest advantages of sublimation is that there is almost no limit on what you can print onto the fabric. Since designs are transferred directly onto the fabric, almost anything you can design on a computer can be part of your uniform.
- Lower Costs, Faster Turnarounds: Compared to traditional methods, sublimated clothing requires less cutting and sewing, when multiple colors are involved. This drastically reduces both labor costs and turnaround times.
- More Durable Prints: Unlike other printing methods, where the print lies on top of the fabric, sublimation causes the ink to integrate into the fibers. This means prints won’t crack, fade or peel off no matter what.
- Variable Order Quantities: Using a direct printing process allows us to take on both small and large print orders while giving each piece equal care.
Believe it or not, all of those advantages come with almost no caveats. The only thing to keep in mind is that sublimation does not work on cotton — only on polyester. However, considering that polyester is lighter, more breathable and durable than cotton, this isn’t much of a trade-off.
