QUESTIONS

Sublimated patch FAQ.

Is sublimation cheaper than embroidery for complex designs?+
Often yes — since color count and detail don't add cost the way they can with thread-based methods, sublimation is usually the better value for busy, colorful designs.
Does it feel different from embroidery?+
Yes — sublimated patches are flat and smooth, more like a printed fabric badge than a textured, stitched one.
