Dye sublimation printing is the best option for multi-colored vibrant elastics.
Using sublimation technique, there is no restriction in making robust patterns and typography, giving designers endless ways to unleash their creativity.
Dye sublimation technique works best on light-color polyester and other synthetic fabrics, such as nylon. The pattern stretches and retracts along with the elastic, ensuring patterns stay the same after stretching.
