What Is Velvet Sublimation Fabric?
Velvet sublimation fabric is made primarily from synthetic fibers such as polyester, which allows it to hold sublimation dyes effectively. Sublimation is a heat-transfer printing process where ink becomes part of the fabric itself, resulting in sharp, full-color graphics that don’t peel or fade. When applied to velvet—a fabric known for its soft pile and rich texture—the results are both visually striking and pleasant to the touch.
Uses for Sublimation Velvet
This fabric is ideal for a variety of creative and functional applications:
Apparel: Designers often use sublimation velvet to create eye-catching dresses, skirts, blouses, or fashion accessories. The combination of vibrant print and soft sheen gives garments a high-end look.
Home Décor: Velvet sublimation fabric is often used for decorative pillows, drapes, table runners, and wall coverings. The rich texture of velvet enhances any print design, from classic patterns to custom artwork.
Promotional Materials: Businesses sometimes use printed velvet for unique branded items, backdrops, and visual merchandising where a soft, premium look is desired.
Benefits of Velvet Sublimation Fabric
Bold Color Output: Sublimation printing produces high-definition colors that bond directly with the fabric, making the design last longer without fading or cracking.
Soft Feel with Luxury Appeal: The texture of velvet adds depth and softness to printed designs, making it suitable for both fashion-forward and comfort-focused projects.
Durability: Polyester-based velvet holds up well over time and through repeated use when cared for properly.
Customizability: Velvet for sublimation allows for one-of-a-kind designs without sacrificing quality or feel.
Wash and Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your sublimation velvet items, follow these basic care guidelines:
Washing: Gently hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric.
Drying: Lay flat to air dry. Avoid tumble dryers, as the heat may damage the texture or cause shrinkage.
Ironing: If needed, use a low heat steam iron with a pressing cloth to protect the velvet surface.
Storage: Store away from direct sunlight and in a cool, dry environment to prevent fading and moisture damage.
