SAMPLES
All private label orders go through a full sampling and approval process to ensure your run of garments is exactly what you want them to be. Only then does it enter production and move forward.


MINIMUM ORDER SIZES
Our minimum orders can be as low as 48 units per design depending on the product configuration.

Using standardized colors on preexisting cuts allows for lower minimums.


TURN TIMES
Our turn times can be as short as two weeks. Market destination, the number of garments, and the embellishments selected will all drive lead times.

We will keep you informed during the development process so you are able to communicate with your team and customers effectively.


CUSTOMIZED COLORS
Customized colors require an additional 6 week turn time and minimum fabric run of 1500 yards.





  Experts in Sublimation


SUBLIMATION CERTIFIED
Vapor Apparel garments that are Sublimation Certified℠ are specifically engineered for the sublimation process. When a garment is marked as Sublimation Certified℠, it means the color of the fabric will work with a wide swatch of sublimation colors, producing superior image quality.

DIGITAL SUBLIMATION PRINTING
A full color digital print technology that works with polyester substrates and polymer coated substrates. Sublimation dyes are carried via liquid ink or gel ink through a piezo-electric print head and deposited on a high-release inkjet paper which is then transferred onto the substrate.
The result of this process is a virtually permanent full color, high resolution print that will not crack, fade or peel from the substrate under normal conditions.
Sublimation print technology requires a combination of time, temperature and pressure to “transfer” the sublimation dyes into the polyester molecules on the substrate from the high-release inkjet paper. The conventional equipment for sublimation transfer is a heat press. Most sublimation dyes start to sublimate at 350 degrees Fahrenheit but 380-400 degrees is recommended for most substrates.
Digital sublimation printing works on light colored, polyester or poly coated substrates. Athletic textiles, sports performance apparel, ceramic products and poly coated fiber reinforced plastic are some of the main product categories.
Digital sublimation printing is also used in the creation of trade show displays, snowboards, skis and skateboards. Digital sublimation printing is commonly referred to as "dye sub" printing, or simply "sublimation."

SUBLIMATION
Sublimation is the scientific term for a phase transition where a solid material changes directly into a gas without passing through the liquid stage. Sublimation is an endothermic reaction, and occurs when the right combination of pressure and heat are applied to a solid.
In digital sublimation printing, the pressure and heat from a press change the ink from a solid transfer sheet into a gas, which is then transferred at the molecular level onto a sublimation certified garment.
Most sublimation dyes start to sublimate at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, but 380-420 degrees is recommended for most substrates to attain maximum color. The time and temperature of the sublimation process is dependent on the type of fabric used for digital sublimation printing.
