Custom fabric printing that works hard
Dye sublimation is a strong choice when you need full colour on suitable polyester fabric. The dye bonds into the material, so the design can stay smooth, flexible and detailed.
Ideal for brands and suppliers that need metres of printed fabric or repeat production instead of a once-off novelty print.
Best suited to polyester-rich material. Send your fabric details first so the team can confirm whether the job is a good fit.
Work with a Randburg-based branding team serving Johannesburg and Gauteng, with a clear route from artwork to production.
Dye sublimation printing for real-world jobs
Tell us what you are making. We will help you work out the right print route before production starts.
Sportswear and teamwear
Print club colours, sponsor marks, names, numbers and all-over graphics into suitable polyester fabric for shirts, training wear and team kits.
Corporate uniforms
Create branded uniform fabric with repeat patterns, strong colour and a clean finish for staff clothing, promotional teams and events.
Fashion and clothing brands
Turn custom artwork into printed polyester fabric for cut-and-sew production. This gives you more control than adding a small logo to a finished garment.
Roll-to-roll and repeat designs
Use repeating patterns and larger artwork across fabric widths for production runs where scale, consistency and design freedom matter.
Sublimation, DTF or screen print?
Not every job should use the same print method. A good quote starts by matching the artwork, fabric and quantity to the right process.
Dye sublimation
- Best on polyester-rich material
- Great for full-colour and all-over artwork
- Smooth feel because the colour bonds into the surface
- Strong fit for sportswear, uniforms and printed fabric
DTF printing
- Useful on a wider mix of garment fabrics
- Good for logos and detailed full-colour graphics
- Works well when an all-over sublimated design is not needed
- Ask us when your garment is not polyester-rich
Screen printing
- Strong option for bold spot-colour designs
- Often makes sense on larger repeat runs
- Works on many garment types
- Best value depends on colours, size and quantity

Dye sublimation printing FAQ
What is dye sublimation printing?
Dye sublimation uses heat to move dye into a suitable polyester-based surface. It is useful for bright full-colour graphics, repeat patterns and detailed designs where you do not want a thick print layer sitting on top of the fabric.
What fabric works best for dye sublimation?
Polyester-rich fabric is the normal starting point. The final colour can change based on the fabric, its base colour and its polyester content. Send the material details before production so the job can be checked.
Can you do bulk dye sublimation printing in Johannesburg?
Yes. The service is aimed at commercial branding and production work. Send the quantity or metres, artwork and deadline so the team can quote the job properly.
Is sublimation right for cotton garments?
Standard dye sublimation is made for polyester-rich surfaces. If your garment is cotton or a different blend, a method such as DTF or screen printing may make more sense. Ask before placing the order.
What should I send for a quote?
Send your artwork, the product or fabric, the amount you need, your required date and any colour or placement notes. If you do not know the fabric yet, say what you plan to make and ask for advice.
Where is Waxed Branding based?
Waxed Branding is based at the corner of Fabriek Street and Arbeid Avenue in Strydompark, Randburg, Gauteng, 2169, and serves customers across Johannesburg and wider Gauteng.
