Sublistop – Films Against Sublimation Bleed-Through
Sublistop films prevent dyes from sublimated textiles from bleeding through into your flex design. This secures permanently clean, unaltered design colors – even on dark sublimated polyester textiles. Whether sportswear or individual club apparel – with Sublistop film you protect your design reliably and durably.
With sublimated textiles, a reliable barrier layer is what counts in order to prevent the sublimation color from bleeding through into the applied flex design. In the Sublistop category, Print Equipment offers you suitable films for your needs. In the Sublistop category you'll find the right solution for your sublimated textile projects.
What defines Sublistop films?
Sublistop films have a special barrier layer that prevents sublimation dyes from the underlying textile from migrating into the flex design over time. A reliable barrier effect is decisive for permanently clean design colors without discoloration.
The typical use of a Sublistop film is clearly structured:
- The textile is first sublimated, often in dark or intense shades
- The design is cut out of the Sublistop film precisely
- The design is transferred to the sublimated textile using a heat press
- The barrier layer permanently prevents the sublimation color from bleeding through
Sublistop films thus ideally complement our film range and are a sensible addition to our cutting plotters.
Why Sublistop films are indispensable
Sublistop films play an important role in textile finishing on sublimated textiles. Only with a reliable barrier layer can the sublimation color be reliably prevented from bleeding through.
The most important advantages include:
- Reliable barrier effect: Prevents sublimation dyes from bleeding through
- Wide color selection: 14 color options for versatile design creation
- Combinable with sublimation: Ideal for textiles that have already been sublimated. The color intensity of your sublimated textile is decisive for the choice.
- Broad textile compatibility: Suitable for cotton, polyester and blended fabrics
- Ideal for sportswear: Popular for jerseys and club apparel with a sublimated design
This makes Sublistop films indispensable both for classic sportswear and for individually sublimated club apparel.
Which aspects should be considered?
With Sublistop films, both the suitable product and different areas of use are available to you.
Nova-Flex 4000 Subli-Stop
The Nova-Flex 4000 Subli-Stop is available to you as a PU flex film with a thickness of 105 µm in 14 colors.
Typical characteristics are:
- Wash-resistant up to 40°C with mild detergent
- Suitable for cotton, polyester and polyester blends
- Cannot itself be sublimated, but reliably blocks sublimation dyes
This makes this film ideally suited for flex designs on textiles that have already been sublimated.
Areas of use against sublimation bleed-through
Sublimation color bleed-through occurs mainly on dark or intensely sublimated polyester textiles when flex designs are pressed directly onto the sublimated surface.
A barrier layer is especially suited for:
- Sports jerseys with a fully sublimated design and applied back numbers
- Club and team apparel with an individual, sublimated pattern
- Other textiles with dark or color-intense sublimation printing
This way, with the right barrier layer, you find a reliable solution for permanently clean designs on sublimated textiles.

What to look out for when buying Sublistop films
If you want to buy Sublistop films, you should consider various factors in order to find the right solution for your needs.
Important criteria are:
- Barrier effect: Look for a reliable barrier layer against sublimation bleed-through
- Color selection: Look for a sufficient color palette for your design
- Wash resistance: Look for the temperature resistance that suits your intended use
- Textile color: Check the need for a barrier layer especially with dark sublimated textiles
- Textile compatibility: Make sure that the film suits your target textile
The right selection ensures that you work reliably and permanently clean on sublimated textiles.
Sublistop films for different applications
Depending on the sublimation intensity, the requirements for your Sublistop film vary considerably. While the barrier effect is less in focus with light, lightly sublimated textiles, it is decisive for a permanently clean design with dark or intensely sublimated textiles.
The choice of the right film therefore depends strongly on how intense and dark the underlying sublimation design is. For a reliable result, many businesses rely on Sublistop film as a standard on sublimated sports jerseys.
