How to Personalize Your Training Uniform
Personalizing uniforms goes beyond aesthetics: it’s a form of expression, identity, and pride. Teams, clubs, and professional athletes seek to personalize their uniforms to stand out and represent their essence. At Daedo, we understand the importance of these details, which is why we offer a wide range of customization options. This way, each uniform becomes an exclusive piece that represents each club or athlete.
Sublimation on Polyester
Sublimation on polyester is a technique that allows for designs to be printed directly onto the fabric. This is perfect for personalizing full uniforms or specific areas, such as sleeves, back, chest, or skirt. This method is particularly appreciated by teams that want their uniforms to fully reflect the colors and emblem of their club.
Characteristics of Sublimation on Polyester:
-
- The design integrates with the fabric, preventing discomfort or a raised feel.
- Exceptional durability; won’t peel or fade over time.
- Ability to apply photographic details and gradients. This type of customization not only provides practicality but also adds a professional and modern touch to the uniform, ideal for championships and exhibitions. It’s perfect for doboks and karategis with a high polyester content. Not suitable for judogis, as they typically contain a higher percentage of cotton.
Attention! Care Tips for Sublimated Polyester Garments:
-
- Wash inside out
- Do not iron
- Do not use hot water (maximum 30°C) as the garment may fade
- Avoid mixing with rough garments that may damage the fabric
Sublimated Patches
Sublimated patches are ideal for those who want detailed, colorful designs. The sublimation process involves transferring special inks onto the fabric using heat, allowing colors to penetrate the fibers and integrate seamlessly into the material. This type of customization is durable and ensures patches maintain their vibrant look over time and after multiple washes and intensive use.
Advantages of Sublimated Patches:
• Vivid and crisp colors, perfect for complex logos or small details
• Resistant to wear and fading
• Versatile designs, from club emblems to commemorative badges
This technique can be adapted to different textiles by either applying sublimation or sewing the patch onto the fabric.
Attention! Care Tips for Sublimated Patches:
-
- Wash inside out
- Do not use hot water (maximum 30°C)
- Iron inside out if necessary
Embroidery
Embroidery is a classic technique that adds a touch of distinction and quality to the uniform. It is highly valued for its durability and the unique texture it provides, making it an elegant way to highlight logos, names, and team titles.
Benefits of Embroidery:
• Long lifespan, even with frequent use and washing
• Unique texture that stands out on any garment
• Ideal for personalized names and solid design logos
Embroidery is especially popular among those seeking a traditional and prestigious look. It’s perfect for representing titles and honors in a formal and respectful manner. This technique is ideal for judogis, karategis, and doboks with a high cotton content.
Attention! Care Tips for Embroidered Garments:
• Hand wash with soapy water for 20 minutes
• Gently rub dirty areas, avoiding the embroidery
• Rinse and air dry
Textile Vinyl
Textile vinyl is a versatile option for quickly and efficiently personalizing uniforms. It involves applying a vinyl sheet onto the fabric with heat. Cut vinyl, on the other hand, allows for specific designs to be cut and applied to specific areas of the uniform.
Highlights of Textile Vinyl:
-
- Wide range of colors and finishes, including matte and shiny options
- Ideal for large, visible details such as names and numbers
- Quick application and relatively low cost compared to other techniques
This option is perfect for clubs that need to personalize uniforms practically without sacrificing visual appeal. It can be applied to parkas, jackets, tracksuits, and more.
Attention! Care Tips for Garments with Textile Vinyl:
• Wash with cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle, inside out
• Use mild detergent
