Woven Sublimation Fabric – Fabric Base Inc. | Wholesale Fabric Supplier in Los Angeles
Woven sublimation fabric is valued for its stability, durability, and ability to hold vivid, high-resolution prints. It offers the structure of traditional woven textiles while being engineered for the sublimation printing process. At Fabric Base Inc., we provide sublimation-ready woven fabrics by the roll—available wholesale from our centrally located Los Angeles fabric warehouse.
What Is Woven Sublimation Fabric?
Woven fabric is created by interlacing threads at right angles, resulting in a textile that is more structured and less stretchy than knits. When made from 100% polyester or high-poly blends, woven fabric becomes suitable for sublimation printing, a dye-transfer process that embeds ink directly into the fibers under heat and pressure.
This process produces clear, vibrant graphics that won’t crack or fade over time, making woven sublimation fabric a great choice for both decorative and functional items.
Common Applications
Thanks to its smooth surface and solid construction, woven sublimation fabric is ideal for projects where stability and crisp prints are essential:
Home Decor: Perfect for sublimated curtains, tablecloths, cushion covers, and fabric wall hangings.
Apparel: Commonly used for shirts, uniforms, jackets, and pants requiring shape retention and a polished finish.
Displays & Signage: Ideal for trade show backdrops, hanging banners, or display frames due to its wrinkle-resistant structure.
Crafts & Branding: Used in custom tote bags, packaging materials, and branded promotional products.
Key Benefits
Dimensional Stability: Woven fabrics maintain their shape better than knit or stretch fabrics.
Vivid Print Results: A tight weave allows sublimation ink to bond evenly across the surface.
Durability: Resistant to tearing and wear, making it ideal for longer-term use.
Versatile Finishing: Easy to cut, sew, hem, or frame for various production or craft applications.
Smooth Texture: Compatible with both photographic and graphic print designs.
Washing & Care Instructions
To get the most out of your woven sublimation fabric products, follow these guidelines:
Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Remove promptly to prevent wrinkles.
Ironing: Use a medium heat setting. Iron on the reverse side or with a press cloth for best results.
Storage: Store flat or rolled in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What’s the difference between woven and knit sublimation fabric?
A: Woven fabric is made by interlacing yarns, which gives it structure and less stretch. Knit fabrics are looped, providing more flexibility but less shape retention. Woven fabrics are better for structured garments and flat applications.
Q: Does sublimation work well on all woven fabrics?
A: Sublimation only works on polyester or polyester-rich woven fabrics. Natural fibers like cotton will not retain sublimation dyes.
Q: Can I print fine details on woven fabric?
A: Yes, the tight weave provides a smooth surface, making it ideal for sharp lines, photographic prints, and complex designs.
Q: Is the fabric stiff or soft?
A: Woven sublimation fabric comes in a variety of finishes, from lightweight and soft to more structured styles. Contact us to find the best type for your application.
Q: What widths are available?
A: Standard roll widths and lengths vary. Please call or email us for current inventory specifications.
