Everything You Need to Know About Sublimation Printing

Last year we wrote an article about headwear sublimation. This blog also discusses the process as well as the benefits of sublimation and ideal fabrics for the decoration technique.

Sublimation won’t fade over time, it is essentially printed into the fabric, so it doesn’t feel any different after it’s printed like it does with screen printing or heat pressing.

Promo Marketing

A Guide to Selling Custom Golf Apparel

There are approximately 24 million golfers in the U.S and over 15,000 courses. That provides ample opportunity to sell promotional headwear.

While traditional golf hats are still popular, young professionals have introduced fun, crazy colors and patterns into the game’s fashion norms. Performance, moisture-wicking fabrics are a must.

In addition to selling promotional headwear to courses, you can also sell them to non-profits hosting charity golf tournaments.
