Sublimation Printing
Full colour, edge to edge, permanently bonded into the fibre. No cracking, no peeling, no weight, no limit on how many colours you use. This is how a modern kit is printed.
Colour Inside The Weave, Not On Top Of It
The Ink Becomes Part Of The Fabric
Screen printing and vinyl sit on top of the fabric like a sticker. That is why they crack, peel and fade. Sublimation does something different. Under heat and pressure the solid dye skips the liquid stage entirely and turns straight into a gas, which opens the polyester fibre and bonds inside it.
When it cools, the fibre closes with the colour locked inside. Run your hand over a finished Rexmon jersey and you will not feel the print at all, because there is no layer to feel. The design is the fabric.
Start A Custom DesignThe Five Stage Line
Every sublimated order at Rexmon runs through the same five stages, and quality is checked at each one.
Artwork Setup
Your design is laid onto the cut pattern so logos, numbers and stripes line up perfectly across every seam.
Colour Proofing
A strike off is printed and checked against your Pantone references under daylight before bulk begins.
Transfer Printing
Large format printers lay the design onto transfer paper at full production width.
Heat Press
Paper and fabric pass through the calender press. The dye gasses off and bonds into the fibre.
Cut And Stitch
Printed panels are cut and assembled into the finished garment, then inspected piece by piece.
Twelve Colours Cost The Same As One
Gradients, fades, photographic detail, player names and numbers. Sublimation prices on area, not on colour count, which is why a Rexmon kit can be as bold as your club actually wants it to be.
Sublimation Against The Alternatives
We offer embroidery and other decoration too, so this is not a sales pitch. It is where each method genuinely wins and loses.

Full Wrap Graphics

Every jersey in the run can carry a different name and number at no extra charge.
No Added Weight
Nothing sits on the fabric, so the kit breathes exactly as the fabric was engineered to.
Before You Order
Will the print fade after a season?
No. The dye is inside the fibre, not on it. The fabric will wear out long before the print does, and that is not marketing, it is what our ISO 105 wash tests show.
Can you sublimate cotton?
No, and be careful of anyone who says they can. Sublimation dye bonds to polyester. On cotton it washes straight out. For cotton garments we use embroidery or print instead.
Can you match our exact club colours?
Yes. Send Pantone codes or a physical swatch and we will match against them, then send you a strike off for sign off before bulk runs.
Do names and numbers cost extra?
Not on sublimated kits. Each jersey is printed individually anyway, so personalisation is included in the price.
What file should we send?
Vector AI, EPS, PDF or SVG is ideal. A high resolution PNG works too. If all you have is a rough sketch, our design team will redraw it.
What is the minimum order?
Ten pieces per design. There is no setup or screen charge, which is why small club orders stay affordable.
