With thermo sublimation, designs are applied to products under heat. The clear prints, which are durable and easy to take care of, are perfect for accessories like mugs or bottles.
How Thermosublimation works
In thermos sublimation, designs are applied to products under high heat. To do this, the graphic design is first transferred mirror-inverted onto a carrier film – using heat and pressure. During this process, the colour pigments become gaseous at 200° C and evaporate on the surface of the product. After the print is sealed, the product is durable and safe for daily use.
For daily use
Since the design is printed directly onto the product and then sealed, it is made durable and safe for everyday use. Mugs and bottles that we print with thermo sublimation are dishwasher safe, meaning that the design remains colourful and won’t peel off after washing.
Perfect for merch or gifts
Mugs, bottles or mouse pads with logos, photos or other designs are perfect merchandising products. Printed with thermo sublimation, they create strong contrasts and colours that are as long-lasting as the product itself.
