Graduating Students Design Custom Sublimation Transfer - Pocket

About this Design Template

This graduation design depicts a classroom of graduating students all wearing their caps and gowns and holding a diploma in their hands. You can change the color of the mortarboard caps and the color of the stoles to suit your needs.

For our design, we chose the layout with a single background & a graphic & text personalization style. We chose a boy graduate as our graphic and added congratulations and his class year as the personalization text. We have many of the other graduates from the background in our system, so you can select a graduate that resembles your graduate more closely. You can also customize the graduate more by changing the graduate's skin, hair & stole colors.

We have other specific backgrounds such as science, technology, formulas etc that can used depending on graduate. If you have something specific in mind and are unable to find it, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

As always with YouCustomizeIt, you can change anything about this design (patterns, colors, graphics, etc.) for free. Our design library is loaded with options for you to choose from, or you can upload your own. Need Help? You can always contact us or chat with us for support from real people (no chat bots or call centers).

For those of you who love DIY, especially for your own apparel, we have just the thing for you! Sublimation Transfers are little different from iron on transfers which are made from Heat Transfer Vinyl and can be applied to various apparel and fabrics with an iron. You will need your own heat press for this sublimation project!

For best results, the sublimation transfer has to be applied to 100% white polyester apparel or fabric. The transfer is applied using a heat press at 365 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the material. The ink turns into gas and attaches itself to the polyester fibers. You can use polyester blends (at least 50%), but they have to be light colors. The sublimated colors will NOT be as bright and vivid as they are with white fabrics.

There are multiple advantages to sublimation. The first one being that you can do full color detailed art. You don't have to layer the art work - you print and sublimate. Easy as that! The second big advantage is that you can do backgrounds. For example, you can sublimate a mug with backgrounds, as well as graphics and text.

The disadvantages include the fact that you need a heat press, since irons do not get hot enough. Also, sublimation is part science, part art, so it takes practice to get consistently good results. If you are a DIYer, you like a challenge, or have master sublimation skills, then these transfers are for you!

If you are doing a group or team order and need a large number of the same transfer, call us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
