Vapor Apparel — a Charleston, S.C.-based provider of apparel designed for sublimation printing —
has added sublimation-friendly socks to its imprintable apparel line.
Designed both for apparel decorators with small-format presses and for large-scale customers,
SubliSocks™ feature a black toe and heel segment to prevent creasing marks during the sublimation
process. The socks are offered in two leg lengths: the 7-inch Crew version and the 3.5-inch Short
version.
“We see strong consumer demand for this product, and view it as a great margin-opportunity
for our decorating customers,” said Christopher Bernat, chief revenue officer, Vapor Apparel.
“Customization in the apparel industry shows no sign of slowing down, and the trend is now
expanding to things outside traditional t-shirts and performance tops.”
Vapor Apparel also is offering the SubliSock kit, which allows digital decorators to expand
the sock during pressing to prevent grin-thru of white fabric when the socks are stretched over the
calf when worn.
