Poly-spandex stretch mesh is dye-sublimation-friendly, meaning we can print photo-quality all-over graphics edge-to-edge. The print becomes part of the fiber — it won't crack, peel, or fade. For other substrates in your project, we offer DTF and screen-print as fallback options.

FAQ
Common questions about poly-spandex stretch mesh.
Will sublimation print distort when stretched?
No — with 4-way stretch poly-spandex, the print is part of the fiber and moves with the fabric. The print doesn't crack or peel like screen-print on spandex.
What's the maximum stretch percentage?
Standard 92/8 poly-spandex stretches about 60-80% in width and 30-40% in length with full recovery. For higher stretch we offer 80/20 blends.
