Sublimation is an excellent option for custom swim and water polo team suits. It involves using high temperature and pressure to fuse ink directly into swimwear
fabric prior to the suit being manufactured. Dyes are turned into gas in order to fully permeate the fibers so the suit can be washed without damaging the quality of the graphics. This dying process allows for a wide array of design possibilities to create a high-quality, long-lasting, and very unique finished product.
Advantages of Sublimated Suits
- Images do not peel or fade
- Colors can be much brighter
- Graphics and images can be printed on the entire suit
Screen Printing
What are Screens?
Consider screens as stencils that the ink is put through onto the material, and each color used needs a screen. When calculating the cost of the customized garment you have to look and see how many colors your logo has, and this will tell you how many screens you have.

HEAT TRANSFERS
Heat transfer is a process that uses high heat and various transferable materials to press images and text onto clothing, and gear. Swimoutlet.com offers three types of heat presses: full color, solid vinyl, and mesh. Heat transfer is a low cost, way to customize your gear and apparel. Prices for these options are listed below.
Full Color Heat Transfer
Full color heat transfer is an opaque printable material which will allow full color designs to be printed, without the high cost that typically comes with full color printing. The great thing about this application is that it can be used on most fabrics, and will stretch with the material without damaging the image.
Vinyl Heat Transfer
Vinyl heat transfer is one solid color of vinyl used to create a cut out, which is then applied to the product using heat. Only one color can be applied to the design. This option is offered in White, Black, Navy, Royal, Cyan, Marlin Teal, Green, Neon Green, Yellow, Orange, Dark Orange, Red, Cardinal, Maroon, and Purple.
Mesh Heat Transfer
Mesh heat transfer is one solid color of vinyl that is specially made to create cut-outs for mesh products, which is then applied to the product using heat. Only one color can be applied to the design. This option is offered only in White.
Locations on Suits
The standard customized logo locations on suits are as follows:
 |
||
|
Women's Suit Center Chest |
Men's Brief Left Hip |
Men's Jammer Left Leg |
Logos can be placed in other locations, as long as the splice or seam is not in the way for screening. Also, in some instances the brand logo is on the left side of the men's suit, in which case the logo usually goes on the opposite side.
