Which fabric to use

Use polyester or peach-skin sublimation pillow covers. On light fabric the colors come out vivid.

  • Rectangular 12 × 20 in pillow

Step by step

  1. Print the design mirrored on sublimation paper.
  2. Put cardboard or paper inside the cover so the ink doesn't bleed through.
  3. Tape the paper and press with medium pressure.
  4. Peel the paper hot, in one motion.

💡 Sell bundles: pillow + mug with the same design. Customers feel they save and you sell more per order.
