Sublimation Fabrics

Compare our sublimation fabric families by construction, stretch, durability, and GSM to choose the right material for your product.

Why Polyester Matters

Sublimation is designed for polyester-based fabrics, which is why our sublimated products use polyester or polyester-blend materials.

Fabric Weight Classes

We group our sublimation fabrics by GSM to make it easier to compare weight, structure, and intended use.

Weight Class GSM
Featherweight 160 GSM or less
Lightweight 161–200 GSM
Midweight 201–240 GSM
Heavyweight 241–280 GSM
Super Heavyweight 281+ GSM

Peached Polyester Spandex (85/15)

A smooth-faced polyester-spandex knit with a soft peached interior. The 4-way stretch provides flexibility and recovery while the smooth exterior supports sharp sublimation.

Available weights: 180, 200, 220, and 240 GSM.

Scratch-Resistant Polyester Spandex (73/27)

A reinforced polyester-spandex knit designed for greater abrasion resistance while maintaining 4-way stretch. It is suited to higher-contact applications where durability is important.

Available weights: 240 and 270 GSM.

SCUBA (85/15)

A thick, structured double-knit polyester-spandex fabric with 4-way stretch. Its 300 GSM construction provides a dense feel and strong shape retention for applications such as outerwear and heavyweight jerseys.

Available weight: 300 GSM.

Suplex (85/15)

A soft, matte polyester-spandex knit with 4-way stretch and reliable recovery. It is suited to comfortable performance, athleisure, and lifestyle garments.

Available weight: 180 GSM.

Polyester Interlock (100% Polyester)

A stable double-knit polyester with a smooth surface and mechanical 2-way stretch. It provides more structure and less elasticity than spandex blends.

Available weights: 180 and 220 GSM.

Fabrics We Don't Use for Sublimation

Our sublimated products are built from polyester-based fabrics rather than cotton, wool, rayon, or other natural fibers. We also avoid fabric constructions that do not produce reliable sublimation results.
