Watch Us Make a Fresh Kit Custom Tee in Under 60 Seconds
Welcome to the ultimate speed run of custom apparel creation! In this lightning-fast, one-minute video, we pull back the curtain to show you exactly how a custom Fresh Kit t-shirt comes to life. If you have ever wondered how professional-quality, vibrant graphics are applied directly to fabric, this highly satisfying glimpse into the sublimation process is exactly what you need.
We start right at the beginning, demonstrating how to properly prep and lay out the blank garment to ensure a flawless canvas. Precision is key in apparel design, and you will see how carefully we position the sublimation transfer sheet to get the alignment absolutely perfect. From there, the real magic happens under the heat press. While the video is sped up for your viewing pleasure, it captures perfectly the essence of how high heat and pressure work together to transform a simple printed design into a permanent, vibrant part of the t-shirt’s fabric.
Finally, we get to the best part: the reveal. Once the press opens and the transfer paper is peeled back, the crisp, sharp lines and pastel colours of the 2023 Fresh Kit logo shine through. It’s a satisfying, behind-the-scenes look at how we craft shirts that are not only eye-catching but instantly ready to wear. Understanding the basics of sublimation has never been easier.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What printing method is used in this video?
We use a process called sublimation. This technique uses high heat to turn solid ink into a gas, transferring the dye directly into the fabric’s fibers. This results in a highly vibrant, long-lasting design that won’t peel, fade, or crack over time.
How long does the actual heat pressing take in real time?
While this video is a sped-up 1-minute speed run, an actual sublimation heat press usually takes between 45 to 60 seconds, depending on the specific fabric blend and the temperature of the equipment.
Can I wear the shirt immediately after pressing?
You bet! Unlike some printing methods that require curing time, sublimation is finished as soon as the press opens. Once the transfer paper is removed and the fabric cools down for just a few seconds, the shirt is totally complete and ready to wear.
