Dye Sublimation:
Service Update
If you’ve found this page while looking for sublimation services in Utah, we want to be upfront: this is not a service we currently provide.
We still provide custom screen printing, DTF and heat printing, embroidery, and other branding solutions. Below is a quick guide to help you decide if one of those methods is suitable for your project.
What is dye sublimation?
Dye sublimation printing uses heat and specialized inks to bond color into compatible polyester materials or coated surfaces. It is especially useful for all-over athletic apparel, full-color patterns and some promotional items.
Although Pulse Merch previously advertised this service, we’re no longer offering dye sublimation production. We want visitors to have accurate information before requesting a quote.
Some projects can be adapted to another decoration method, while full-coverage sublimated jerseys or cut-and-sew uniforms often require a specialized sublimation supplier.
Custom apparel alternatives
Every decoration method has different strengths. Here are options we can actually produce, with honest guidance on where they differ from sublimation.
Screen Printing
A strong choice for bulk apparel orders, company shirts and detailed multi-color designs. Ideal when you want durable decoration across larger runs.

DTF & Heat Printing
Suitable for smaller orders, full-color logos, individual names and numbers. Unlike all-over sublimation, a transfer is applied to a selected area of the garment.

Custom Embroidery
A professional stitched option for hats, polos, jackets and workwear. Best for logos and branding where texture and longevity matter.

Does Pulse Merch still offer dye sublimation?
No. Pulse Merch no longer offers dye sublimation printing. We still offer screen printing, heat printing and DTF transfers, embroidery, and other custom merchandise services.
What is dye sublimation printing?
Dye sublimation is a process that uses heat to transfer dyes into compatible polyester fibers or specially coated materials. It’s commonly used for lightweight performance garments, all-over patterns and full-color designs.
Can DTF or screen printing replace all-over sublimation?
Not exactly. DTF and screen printing can create full-color or multicolor decorations in defined locations, but they do not provide the same edge-to-edge, dye-infused finish as all-over sublimation. We’ll explain the difference when quoting your project.
Can you produce custom team jerseys or uniforms instead?
Depending on the garment and decoration needs, we may be able to supply and decorate suitable ready-made shirts or uniforms using other methods. We do not currently offer all-over sublimated or custom cut-and-sew jersey production.
What should I do if I have artwork designed for sublimation?
Send us the artwork and your garment requirements using our quote form. We can review whether screen printing, heat transfer or embroidery would be suitable, or explain if your project requires a sublimation provider.
