FIEL Offers Sublimation for Decorated Products
January 19, 2016
Mississauga, ON – Last Monday, FIEL announced the addition of dye-sublimation to their available decoration methods, among others such as screen printing, heat transfer printing, and embroidery.
“Our decoration processes are expanding faster than ever before,” said Asif Bandeali, Executive Vice President. “Since last year, we started in the direction of decorating and it is hard to believe we have already come so far.”
The process of dye-sublimation is when inks become gaseous and permeate the fabric under high temperature. Artwork is printed on coated heat-resistant transfer paper as a reverse image of the final design. Under high temperature and pressure such as using a heat press, the dye is transferred from the paper and settles into the fibres of the fabric.

See some samples of sublimation:
In the last 2 years and currently due to covid19, FIEL has simplified its product line (offering less skus) resulting in 35-40% reduction in price of remaining sku's. We have also lowered MOQ's (minimum order quantity) on exiting skus. Tablecloths and Banners are only 1pc decorated and most other skus are either 10 or 12pcs with decoration. We have no minimum for blank products.
By offering less products, We have also reduced production times by half which is fantastic news for distributors and their end-user clients. Most decorated products ship in 5 working days (or less) after artwork approval and we have also added 72HR, 48HR and 24HR sku's in our line for those last minute orders.
Out of approx 545 skus left in our line, approx 370 are sublimated products (70%) which are every sales person's dream product to sell as there are "no extra charges or setups" with sublimation. Sublimated products are easier to sell. 1-color logos or full color logos, 1 location or multiple locations are 1 price (for most items). We also sell personalized items (with individual names, numbers, titles), link https://www.fiel.com/p/personalized-items-all
"By making the above changes, we want to be industry leaders in the skus that are left. We are able to sell them at lower prices, better quality and faster production times than any competing supplier. We are stocking more inventory of these remaining skus. We want to sell the same items again and again and do it better than anyone else. Distributors are taking notice of our positive changes", said Arif Bandeali (Director and Chief Sales and Marketing officer).
