3 Reasons Why Teams, Schools, and Brands are Ordering Custom Sublimated Hoodies

 

Wondering if you should purchase custom sublimated hoodies for your team, school, or brand?

 Here are 3 reasons why sublimated hoodies are on-trend and growing in popularity:

Reason 1: Sublimated Hoodies Last a Long Time

Sublimated hoodies offer many advantages over other decoration techniques such as silk screen, vinyl, and DTG decorated hoodies. Dye Sublimation is a printing technique that allows the ink to absorb into the polyester fabric. The result is a hoodie that will not fade, crack or peel over time, unlike plastisol ink or vinyl that is applied on top of the garment. Since the design becomes part of the polyester fabric you won’t be able to feel the print when you run your finger over it. Wrinkle-free, shrink resistant and UV protection are a few other benefits of a sublimated hoodie. So no matter how many times you wear it and wash it sublimated hoodies will always look new.

 

Reason 2: Personalization + Full Color Designs = A Fully Custom Hoodie

 

Sports teams, schools, and brands are attracted to the full-color, high-definition all-over prints that you can achieve with custom sublimated hoodies. So let’s say your team mascot, logo, or design has a high level of detail. And let’s say you want full color, all-over print that is truly custom. With screen printing, DTG, heat press, and vinyl you can’t do an all-over print that covers the entire garment. For this reason, sublimation would be the way to go.

 Another reason sublimated hoodies are becoming popular in recent years is the fact they can be personalized. Players want to wear custom sublimated team hoodies that look similar to their game jersey with the number and name on the back.

 Custom sublimated team hoodies can be ordered in low quantities, whereas the standard screen printer desires at least 24 hoodies to set up the machine. Sublimated hoodies are ideal for smaller orders, although bulk orders are possible even with each hoodie being personalized.

 Reason 3: Sublimated Hoodies Make Great Merch

 When it comes to supporting their team, fans are willing to spend money on merch.

So if you can provide your fan base with a personalized hoodie with their name on it or their favorite player’s name/number then you can realistically charge anywhere from $50-$75 retail. If you are considering re-selling custom sublimated hoodies to make money for your school, team, or business personalization is a must.

Custom sublimated hoodies can be purchased at wholesale prices from several online companies such as Spartan Apparel & Merch.

 This company allows you to customize the inner hood lining (think repeating logo) and kangaroo pocket at no extra charge. You can order any QTY, although the best pricing starts at 12 hoodies. Personalization will not cost you extra. All hoodies are manufactured from scratch (print, cut, and sew) and delivered within 4 weeks usually. Before your bulk order is produced, a pre-production sample will be emailed to you for approval. This way you can be sure you are getting what you ordered.

 If you are looking for a 100% polyester fleece sublimated hoodie with vivid high-def colors, Spartan Apparel & Merch is a vendor to consider.

 If you skipped straight to the end of this blog just know this: sublimated hoodies are the perfect choice for brands, schools, and teams looking for fully custom merch that can be found nowhere else.
