Our AntiMigration Transfers are engineered specifically for sublimated and dyed polyester garments, where traditional prints risk color migration. Each transfer includes a specially formulated barrier layer that blocks dye bleed-through, keeping whites pure and colors vivid – even on dark or heavily dyed sportswear.
Produced with Pantone-matched screen printing inks, these transfers combine exceptional color accuracy with proven durability. The result is a smooth, flexible print that looks as bright as on cotton – but performs flawlessly on polyester jerseys, team uniforms, and sports numbers.
We count the anti-migration barrier as one additional color in production, making it a simple upgrade to our classic screen-print system without changing your workflow.
