Hoodies and sweatshirts need a warmth, structure and trim specification in addition to artwork. Shell or fleece composition determines whether full sublimation is appropriate.

Key details to confirm

Do not promise full sublimation on a cotton-rich fleece without confirming the exact process and expected result.
Sublimation on hoodies and sweatshirts
Compatible polyester panels may use dye sublimation for all-over patterns and team graphics.
Embroidery and patches add texture; cotton-rich fabrics generally need another print process.
