wholesale high quality paperboard
sublimation paper roll offered by Sure Paper
At Sure Paper, we develop specialized sublimation paper coatings and structures to support various printing applications. Our product lineup includes quick dry sublimation paper for high-speed production, tacky sublimation paper for elastic fabrics, high release sublimation paper for maximum color transfer, and eco sublimation paper for environmentally responsible printing. Each type is engineered to solve specific production challenges and improve printing efficiency.
quick dry sublimation paper
Quick dry sublimation paper is specially designed for high-speed digital textile printing. Its advanced coating rapidly absorbs sublimation ink, allowing the printed image to dry quickly and preventing smudging or ink spreading. This type of paper is ideal for industrial printers that operate continuously and require fast turnaround times.
tacky sublimation paper
Tacky sublimation paper features a light adhesive coating that helps hold fabric in place during the heat transfer process. This prevents fabric movement or shrinkage, which can cause ghosting or blurred images. It is particularly suitable for stretchable polyester fabrics such as sportswear and performance textiles.
high release sublimation paper
High release sublimation paper is designed to achieve maximum ink transfer efficiency. The optimized coating allows more ink to release from the paper and bond with the substrate during heat pressing. This results in brighter colors, sharper details, and reduced ink waste.

Versatile printed sublimation paper for every high-performance need
application of sublimation transfer paper
Sublimation transfer paper is widely used across many industries because it can deliver vibrant colors, durable images, and efficient production performance.
Different applications require different paper characteristics such as fast drying, high ink release, or stable adhesion.
Sure Paper offers specialized sublimation paper solutions to meet the needs of various printing scenarios.
Apparel & Textiles
In the apparel and textile industry, sublimation printing is commonly used for t-shirts, sportswear, team uniforms, and polyester fabrics. These applications often involve high-speed production and stretchable materials. Sure Paper recommends quick dry sublimation paper or tacky sublimation paper, which helps prevent ghosting and ensures sharp, vibrant designs on breathable fabrics.
Home Décor & Soft Goods
Home décor products such as cushions, blankets, curtains, and upholstery fabrics require detailed patterns and consistent color performance. For these applications, high release sublimation paper is recommended. It allows more ink to transfer onto polyester textiles, producing rich colors and clear decorative designs suitable for interior decoration.
Promotional Products
Customized promotional items including mugs, phone cases, tumblers, and keychains require accurate color reproduction and fine image detail. Sure Paper suggests using high release sublimation paper, which maximizes ink transfer efficiency and produces sharp, vibrant prints that enhance the visual impact of branded merchandise.
Signage & Banners
Large-format graphics such as flags, banners, and exhibition displays demand durable prints with bright colors that can withstand outdoor conditions. For these high-volume printing tasks, quick dry sublimation paper is an ideal solution because it supports high-speed printing while maintaining stable image quality.
Ceramics & Hard Surfaces
Sublimation printing on ceramic tiles, plates, metal panels, and other coated hard surfaces requires excellent ink release for accurate image transfer. Sure Paper recommends high release sublimation paper, which helps achieve strong color transfer and precise image reproduction for personalized or decorative products.
Fashion & Accessories
Fashion accessories such as bags, hats, and footwear components often involve complex patterns and flexible fabrics. For these applications, tacky sublimation paper is recommended because its light adhesive coating helps keep materials in place during heat transfer, preventing shifting and ensuring clear, detailed prints.
