Instead of applying ink onto the surface, high-definition heat transforms the ink into a gas that fuses directly into the polyester fibers. This allows for edge-to-edge patterns featuring school mascots, crests, patterns, and exact brand colors across the front, back, sleeves, and collar. Your fingers won't be able to feel the imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow does sublimation compare to left-chest embroidery on a standard polo?\u003c\/b\u003e Traditional, old-school off-the-shelf polos feature a single embroidered logo on a plain solid color blank. Sublimated polos allow for 100% total surface coverage with unlimited graphics, colors, and patterns at no extra cost per color. For the ultimate hybrid look, you can also add high-density left-chest embroidery on top of an all-over sublimated design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill the sublimated school logo fade, crack, or peel after washing?\u003c\/b\u003e No. Because the sublimated ink becomes part of the fabric itself rather than sitting on top, the design will never crack, peel, or fade. It lasts for the entire lifespan of the garment, even after repeated game day wear and machine washing. Major advantage over other decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I order custom sublimated school polos with no minimum order limits?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes. Spartan Merch offers custom sublimated polos with no minimum order requirements. You can order individual custom polos or take advantage of tiered volume pricing for bulk orders ranging from 10 to over 1,000 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat fabric properties make these custom polos suitable for game day sports performance?\u003c\/b\u003e Our custom polos are built with lightweight performance polyester\/ spandex (92\/8 blend) featuring moisture-wicking technology, 4-way mechanical stretch, and UPF 40+ UV sun protection. The breathable fabric keeps fans, coaches, and athletes cool and dry during hot weather games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow do I match my school's official brand colors accurately?\u003c\/b\u003e Our in-house design team matches your exact school color codes (PMS\/Pantone color matching) during the vector art artwork setup phase.
