The Sublimation Secret
It seems to me that there is a secret out there that is slowly spreading across the country. Despite a lot of marketing money being spent to spread the word the most people don't seem to know the secret. That secret is sublimated wrestling singlets. Now maybe the majority of people are just afraid to spend their budget dollars on a new an innovative product. Perhaps people like to stick with the tried and true silk screen singlets. I'm not sure what the reason is but anyone in the market for custom wrestling singlets should be thinking sublimated.
Incase you are one of those who have yet to hear about this marvel of modern technology let me lay it out for you. First let's check out the science class explanation...
"Sublimation of an element or compound is a transition from the solid to gas phase with no intermediate liquid stage. Sublimation is an endothermic phase transition that occurs at temperatures and pressures below the triple point. At normal pressures, most chemical compounds and elements possess three different states at different temperatures. In these cases the transition from the solid to the gaseous state requires an intermediate liquid state. However, for some elements or substances at some pressures the material may pass directly from a solid into the gaseous state. This can occur if the atmospheric pressure exerted on the substance is too low to stop the molecules from escaping from the solid state."
Basically what all that means is that the dye molecules that your design is made of are applied to the cloth with pressure that eliminates the liquid state and moves directly to the solid state. When the transition from gas to solid is made in that rapid fashion the cloth molecules expand and bond with the dye molecules as the pressure is relived, so.........
The long and the short of it is... sublimated singlets have all of your logos and team name dyed directly into the fabric.
There you have it. The benefits of using this process rather than standard silk screen printing is that your design will not peel, crack or fade prematurely. Your team logo and name will last as long as the singlets do. The singlets will be more comfortable as the fabric will not be bound by silk screen printing on the outside layer.
Best of all sublimated singlets cost about the same as standard custom singlets and you can have any design you can dream up. While most manufacturers offer a few styles that they have designed you can also design your own singlet.
Here are a few samples of sublimated wrestling singlets ranging from basic designs to modern designs...
As you can see sublimated wrestling singlets can add some series flash to your squad. The price is right and if you design your own you can be sure none of your opponents will walk into the ring with a similar singlet.
Sublimated singlets are the way of the future and next time your in the market for new singlets you should take a closer look. You will find a great selection of sublimated wrestling singlets and all of your other wrestling needs at www.morleyathletic.com.
