Sublimation: an eco-friendly alternative to flocking

At NOLTwe firmly believe in environmentally-friendly sports. That's why we've opted for sublimation, a technique that offers many advantages over flocking. 👇🏼

What is sublimation?

Sublimation is a process that dyes fabric fibers directly, using heat to penetrate special inks. Unlike flocking, where the pattern is applied to the surface, sublimation integrates the design into the heart of the fabric. 🧵

The advantages of sublimation

⏱️ Durability: Patterns do not fade over time and withstand repeated washing.

😌 Comfort: no extra thickness, fabric remains light and breathable.

🌱 Ecology: sublimation uses eco-friendly inks and generates less waste.

🎨 Customization: designs are more precise and colors more vivid.
