Explore a full range of print methods for teamwear and accessories, from sublimation to embroidery, all offered by Sphere Sport to support your brand’s product customization needs.
Sublimation printing uses heat to transfer dye directly into polyester fabric, producing vibrant, full-coverage prints that will not crack or peel over time. It is ideal for teamwear and activewear due to its lightweight feel and excellent breathability.
Heat transfer, by contrast, uses a printed design applied with heat and pressure. It works on a wider variety of fabrics, including cotton blends, and is suitable for smaller quantities or sample runs. Both methods allow detailed designs and consistent results, making them reliable options for sports brands looking to offer sharp, long-lasting graphics on performance garments.
Embroidery involves stitching thread into fabric to create durable, raised designs, commonly used for logos on caps, polos, jackets, and bags. It is well-suited for corporate or lifestyle apparel where added texture and professionalism are valued.
Knitted designs are created during the fabric manufacturing process, embedding patterns directly into the material. These are typically used for socks, beanies, and sweaters, where color and detail remain intact through repeated use. Both methods produce long-lasting results and are ideal for branded merchandise requiring durability. They complement other garment customization methods by adding variety and function without sacrificing brand identity.

Screen printing uses mesh screens and ink to apply graphics to garments, making it a cost-effective choice for large production runs. It works best for simple, bold designs with limited colors and is typically used on cotton or cotton-blend fabrics.
Digital UV printing uses ultraviolet light to cure ink directly onto flat surfaces. Unlike screen printing, it is not used for apparel but rather for accessories like bags, packaging, and hard goods. This method supports full-color prints with quick turnaround, making it ideal for small-batch promotional items. Together, both methods offer tailored solutions depending on product type and order volume.
Ensure sharp logos and vibrant colors across sublimation, screen printing, and heat transfer. We control color accuracy, alignment, and finish for consistent results on every garment.
Printing is managed alongside apparel production for accurate logo placement, fabric compatibility, and faster lead times. This reduces errors and eliminating handovers between vendors.
Print methods are chosen based on fabric, garment type, and sport use. This ensures they hold up to intense activity while maintaining comfort and breathability.
Whether it’s large-scale sublimation or small logo heat press, we support various fabrics and garment types with tailored print methods to match your design needs.
Every method is tested for stretch recovery, fade resistance, and wash durability to meet the demands of competition, training, and frequent wear.
