Sublimation vs. Digital Printing: What’s the Difference for Your Running Singlet?

When choosing your perfect running singlet, you might wonder how we bring our designs to life. We use two popular methods: sublimation and digital printing. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the difference—and pick what suits you best!

Sublimation Printing

• How It Works: Sublimation uses heat to infuse dye directly into the fabric. The design becomes part of the material itself!
  
  
• Why It’s Awesome:
  • Vibrant, all-over color that won’t fade, crack, or peel—even after tons of runs and washes.
  • Perfect for bold, complex designs that cover the entire singlet.
  • Super lightweight and breathable since there’s no extra layer of ink.

• Best For: Runners who want eye-catching, full-coverage designs that feel seamless.

Digital Printing

• How It Works: Digital printing applies ink directly onto the fabric’s surface, like a high-tech printer for clothes.

• Why It’s Awesome:

• • Great for sharp, detailed designs in specific areas (think logos or patterns).
  • Works well on pre-colored fabrics—we offer black, white, and blue as base colors for our digital prints.
  • Quick and flexible for smaller batches or custom orders.

• Best For: Runners who prefer a classic look with standout details on a solid-colored singlet.

Key Differences at a Glance

• Coverage: Sublimation = all-over design; Digital = targeted design areas.
• Feel: Sublimation blends into the fabric; Digital adds a slight layer of ink.
• Base Color: Sublimation starts with white fabric; Digital uses black, white, or blue bases.
