Types of Sublimation Fabrics from Fabric Base Inc.
At Fabric Base Inc., we offer a wide range of fabrics suitable for sublimation printing. Our products are designed to meet the needs of different industries, including fashion, home décor, sportswear, and promotional products. Here’s a closer look at the different types of sublimation fabrics we offer:
1. Minky Sublimation Fabrics
Minky fabrics are known for their ultra-soft texture and plush feel. They are especially popular in baby products, blankets, and plush toys, but they can also be used for home décor items such as pillows, throws, and even pet accessories. Minky fabric offers an excellent base for sublimation printing, allowing your designs to appear vibrant and clear while maintaining the soft, luxurious feel of the material.
Benefits of Minky Sublimation Fabrics:
Incredibly soft texture: Minky fabrics are perfect for products that need to be cozy and comfortable, such as blankets and baby products.
Vibrant prints: The smooth surface of Minky fabric allows sublimation dyes to bond seamlessly, producing bright, vivid designs.
Durability: Despite its softness, Minky fabric holds up well over time and doesn’t lose its plush texture after multiple washes.
Versatility: Ideal for creating personalized gifts, home décor, and accessories.
2. Woven Sublimation Fabrics
Woven sublimation fabrics are ideal for creating more structured products like apparel, bags, and home textiles. The weaving process results in a fabric that is stronger and more durable than knit fabrics. Woven fabrics are perfect for applications where crisp, clear prints are required, such as custom shirts, scarves, and promotional items.
Benefits of Woven Sublimation Fabrics:
Crisp, clear prints: The tight weave of woven fabrics allows for detailed and high-quality sublimation prints.
Durability: Woven fabrics are sturdy and hold up well to regular use and washing.
Wide applications: Use them for a variety of products, including apparel, tote bags, pillowcases, and curtains.
3. Jersey Stretch Sublimation Fabrics
Jersey stretch sublimation fabrics are a favorite in the activewear industry, offering flexibility and comfort while retaining the ability to showcase vivid, high-definition prints. These fabrics have a slight stretch, making them perfect for form-fitting garments such as leggings, athletic wear, and sports jerseys. The stretchy nature of the fabric ensures that your design moves with the fabric, making it a great choice for performance-based clothing.
Benefits of Jersey Stretch Sublimation Fabrics:
Comfort and flexibility: The stretchiness of jersey fabric provides ultimate comfort and freedom of movement, ideal for activewear.
Durability: Sublimated prints on stretch fabrics last longer, even with regular use and washing.
High-quality, vibrant prints: The smooth surface of jersey fabric allows for sharp, clear designs that retain their color and detail.
Versatile for performance wear: Perfect for sports uniforms, leggings, and other activewear items.
4. Cotton Sublimation Fabrics
While cotton is traditionally a difficult fabric to sublimate, Fabric Base Inc. offers specially treated cotton sublimation fabrics that allow for the vibrant prints typical of sublimation printing. Cotton is a breathable, soft, and comfortable fabric that is ideal for t-shirts, hoodies, and other apparel items. When treated correctly, cotton fabrics can hold sublimation ink just as well as polyester, making it an excellent choice for those who want the benefits of cotton but still want the sharp, long-lasting results of sublimation printing.
Benefits of Cotton Sublimation Fabrics:
Soft and breathable: Cotton is known for its natural softness and breathability, making it ideal for clothing items.
High-quality prints: With proper treatment, cotton fabrics can hold sublimation inks and produce vibrant, durable prints.
Comfortable wear: Cotton fabrics are great for everyday apparel, including t-shirts, tank tops, and more.
Eco-friendly: Cotton is a natural fabric, making it a great choice for sustainable and eco-conscious fashion.

Vibrant sublimation prints that stay intact with stretching.
Durable and ideal for activewear, leggings, and sports uniforms.
6. Polyester Sublimation Fabrics
