  • Any fabric
  • 1-pc MOQ
  • Stretchable
  • Wash-fast
From 1 pc MOQAED 12–35 / pc

Dye Sublimation

Ink turns to gas under heat and dyes the polyester fibres permanently — the colour becomes the fabric. Never cracks, never fades, never peels. The only choice for football kits, padel jerseys and full-colour sportswear.

  • Polyester only
  • Full-bleed
  • Permanent
  • Breathable
From 12 pcs MOQAED 22–65 / pc

  • 1–3 colours
  • 1-pc MOQ
From 1 pc MOQAED 8–18 / pc

All-Over Print (Cut & Sew)

Print the design on flat polyester fabric, then cut and stitch the garment from it — the whole jersey is printed, edge-to-edge, with zero seams cutting the artwork. Football, padel, esports, basketball.

  • Edge-to-edge
  • No seam breaks
  • Custom pattern
  • Sportswear
From 25 pcs MOQAED 45–110 / pc

Why our prints survive UAE laundry — and UAE sun

Hotel laundries run uniforms at 60°C, 5× a week. Padel kits sit in a hot car in July. We engineer our prints for both — and measure it before you pay.

  • OEKO-TEX Eco Passport inksKornit NeoPigment, Brother Innobella — certified safe on skin, in textile and in landfill.
  • Crockmeter wash-fastness testingRandom samples tested to ISO 105-C06 — minimum 4/5 colour-fastness rating.
  • Controlled-temperature curingConveyor dryers at 160°C ±2°C — under-cured inks crack, ours don't.
  • UV-stable pigmentsLightfastness Blue Wool Scale 6+ — survives Dubai summer sun for 12+ months outdoor.
  • Re-print guaranteeAny piece that fails QC or wash-test within 30 days — we re-print at our cost.

Frequently asked

Digital printing — the questions buyers actually ask

Specs, pricing, fabric compatibility — the stuff UAE procurement teams need answered before raising an LPO.

What is the difference between DTG and DTF printing?

DTG (Direct-to-Garment) prints water-based ink directly into the cotton fibres for a soft, photo-real finish — best for 100% cotton tees, polos, tote bags. Hand-feel is almost zero.

DTF (Direct-to-Film) prints onto a special film, dusts it with adhesive powder, then heat-presses onto any fabric — cotton, polyester, blends, nylon, leather, denim. Slightly more film-feel but unbeatable versatility on mixed uniform orders.

What is the minimum order quantity for digital printing in UAE?

Method-by-method:

  • DTG & DTF — 1 piece MOQ (perfect for samples and corporate gifts)
  • HTV / vinyl — 1 piece MOQ
  • Sublimation — 12 pieces (needs dedicated polyester garments)
  • Screen Printing — 50 pieces (cost-efficiency kicks in here)
  • All-over Cut & Sew — 25 pieces
How long do digital prints last?

Our DTG and DTF prints survive 50+ home washes and 30+ industrial wash cycles at 40°C without visible fade. Sublimation prints are permanently dyed into polyester fibres — they never crack, fade or peel because the colour is the fabric. Screen prints with plastisol ink last 60+ washes. We back every order with a 30-day re-print guarantee.

Can you print full-colour photographs on t-shirts?

Yes. Our Kornit Atlas and Brother GTX-pro DTG printers reproduce up to 16.7 million colours at 1200 dpi — true photo-real printing including gradients, skin tones, glow effects and metallic accents. No colour separation, no screens, no minimum quantity. Perfect for influencer drops, event one-offs and memorial tees.

Do you print on polyester sports jerseys?

Yes — and dye sublimation is the gold standard for polyester. We can print full team kits including names, numbers and sponsor logos at the cut-and-sew stage, so the print is woven into the jersey edge-to-edge with zero seam interruptions. Used for football, padel, basketball, cricket, esports.

Are your inks safe for kids' clothing and uniforms?

Yes. All our garment inks are OEKO-TEX Eco Passport certified — including Kornit NeoPigment, Brother Innobella, and Epson UltraChrome DG. Safe for baby-wear, school uniforms, healthcare scrubs and food-handling apparel. We can supply certificates on request for tender submissions.

Can you do same-day printing for events in Dubai?

Yes. For orders under 50 pieces, we offer same-day DTG/DTF printing within Dubai (subject to floor availability). For larger orders, our 24-hour express service covers Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman; 48 hours to Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Northern Emirates.

Do you match Pantone colours exactly?

Yes. Every printer on our floor is profiled monthly with X-Rite spectrophotometers. We match to Pantone Coated, Uncoated and TPX standards. For critical brand colours we deliver a ΔE colour-difference report with your order — typically <2.0 (imperceptible to the human eye).

Do you accept LPOs and issue VAT invoices?

Yes. Fully FTA-compliant 5% VAT tax invoices, LPO acceptance, credit applications, 30-day payment terms for established UAE entities. Payment via IBAN bank transfer, cheque, or card. We're already an onboarded vendor at 200+ UAE companies including hospitality groups, EPCs and educational institutions.
