Swimwear Sublimation Printing: Vibrant Prints Made for the Water

Swimwear is all about colour, creativity and confidence — and sublimation printing is one of the best ways to bring bold designs to life.

At Sublitech, we specialise in high-quality digital sublimation printing for swimwear and lycra fabrics. Our process creates vibrant, detailed prints that become part of the fabric, helping designs stay looking great through regular wear, washing and exposure to the elements.

Designed for Swimwear

From striking all-over prints and intricate patterns to subtle branding and custom artwork, sublimation gives designers almost unlimited creative possibilities. Because the artwork is digitally printed, we can reproduce fine details, gradients and vibrant colours with excellent precision.

We print on a range of polyester-based fabrics, including lycra, with fabrics requiring at least 80% polyester for sublimation.

From Your Design to Printed Fabric

Our swimwear printing process is straightforward. Once your artwork is ready, our team can help with colour and scale adjustments before producing a sample for approval. Once you're happy with the result, we move into production and deliver your custom-printed fabric ready for cutting and garment manufacture.

With the capacity to print more than 8,000 metres per week, Sublitech can support everything from developing a new swimwear collection to larger-scale production.

We also use water-based, environmentally friendly inks and offer fluorescent printing for designs that need an extra pop of colour.

Bring Your Swimwear Designs to Life

Whether you're an established swimwear brand, emerging designer or manufacturer, Sublitech can help turn your ideas into vibrant, high-quality printed fabric.
