What is a sublimation transfer?
Object sublimation transfer is a personalization technique that allows you to print high-definition visuals on personalized mugs, water bottles, plaques, keychains and many sublimatable items. The design is first printed on sublimation paper and then transferred using a heat press adapted to the surface. Under the effect of temperature, the ink penetrates directly into the polyester coating of the object. The result is permanent marking, without relief, with vibrant colors and excellent durability over time.
What is the composition of an object sublimation transfer?
An object sublimation transfer consists of sublimation paper on which the design is printed with sublimation inks. During pressing, these inks are transferred into the polyester coating of the object through heat and pressure.
Unlike a sticker or heat transfer, no film, adhesive, or ink layer remains on the surface. The marking is directly integrated into the object's coating, ensuring a result with no relief, durable and resistant to wear.

What is an object sublimation transfer?
Object sublimation transfer is a personalization technique that consists of transferring a visual printed on sublimation paper onto an object using a heat press. The ink penetrates directly into the coating of the material to create a durable, relief-free marking.
What items can be personalized with sublimation?
Sublimation allows you to personalize many items such as custom mugs, custom water bottles, keychains, photo plates, coasters, trophies and compatible promotional gifts.

Do I need a heat press to use an object sublimation transfer?
Yes. A heat press is essential to transfer the ink onto the object. Depending on the substrate, it may be necessary to use a specific press such as a mug press or tumbler press.

Sublimation works on objects with a polyester coating (polymer) specially designed for this technology. Without this coating, the transfer cannot be completed correctly.
