What are sublimation blanks?

Sublimation blanks are products specially coated or constructed to accept sublimation ink. The coating bonds with sublimation ink under heat, producing a permanent, vibrant print that won't peel or crack. Common sublimation blanks include mugs, tumblers, keychains, coasters, and polyester apparel.

What fabrics and materials work for sublimation?

Sublimation works on 100% polyester fabric or items with a polyester coating. It also works on hard substrates coated with a sublimation-compatible polymer — like our StayBright-coated tumblers and mugs. It does not work on cotton, natural fibres, or dark-coloured substrates.

Do you ship sublimation blanks across Canada?

Yes. We ship sublimation blanks across Canada from Calgary, Alberta. All orders placed before noon ship the same day. No minimums — order one piece or hundreds.

What is a StayBright coating?

StayBright is a high-quality polymer coating applied to tumblers and hard substrates that produces sharper colour saturation and more durable sublimation results than standard coatings. Pressing Images sources StayBright-coated blanks for superior finished products.

What temperature and time do I use to press sublimation blanks?

For most sublimation blanks: 385-400°F, 45-60 seconds, medium pressure. Hard substrates like mugs require a mug press or convection oven — settings vary by item. Always refer to the specific pressing instructions for each blank type.
