Sublimation vs. Tackle twill

Sublimation

To begin, your design is printed onto a specialist transfer paper. It is printed as a mirror image, using specialist dye-sub inks. These are water-based inks which have less of an environmental impact than harsher chemical inks. After that, the transfer is lined up with the fabric, and a combination of heat and pressure are applied. This causes the inks to transition from their current solid form, directly into a gas. The inks then penetrate into the fibers of the material and are permanently bonded to the fibers. The end result is a high-definition print with an extremely intricate level of detail on your customized athletic apparel. (Contrado.com)

Tackle twill

is the application of custom-cut twill lettering onto a garment. Any shape, letter, or design can be custom cut from a polyester twill material and sewn onto almost any garment for an extremely finished look. The twill is then stitched around the edges using a zig zag or dotted stitch path so that they are permanently fixed to the garment. Tackle twill is a great option for greek organizations, school sweatshirts, sports jerseys, varsity jackets and more! Tackle twill is considered one of the most durable embroidery methods, since the main material is high-test polyester twill. Because the lettering is stitched around the edges, the only way to remove it is with a pair of scissors and a lot of free time! Your tackle twill logos will outlast the garment itself!
