Three6ixty Unveils a New Era of Branded Apparel With Premium Sublimation Clothing
Across South Africa, businesses, sports teams, schools, event organisers and influencers are all discovering that branding goes far beyond a logo. Clothing has become one of the most powerful methods of visual communication, and what people wear has a direct impact on how they feel, how they work and how a brand is remembered. As the competitive landscape continues to intensify, organisations are searching for ways to stand out—not just digitally, but in person as well. That is where sublimation clothing has started to play a game-changing role. It offers full-colour, edge-to-edge printing, durable fabric integration and limitless creative possibilities. Three6ixty, a leading branding and marketing provider in South Africa, has now taken this technology to the next level with their extensive sublimation clothing range, designed to meet the exact needs of modern businesses and teams.

Introducing the Three6ixty Sublimation Range
The newly expanded collection from Three6ixty provides one of the most versatile and comprehensive selections of sublimated apparel available in South Africa. Instead of offering limited colour options or partial printing spaces, the firm integrates the design directly into the fibres of the garment. This process ensures the prints will not crack, peel or fade, even after heavy use and frequent washing. Clients are free to incorporate brand elements, sponsor logos, patterns, slogans and intricate artwork without being constrained by traditional printing limitations. The result is a polished, professional finish that boosts brand recognition and gives every wearer a sense of pride and belonging. From everyday staff uniforms to high-performance sports kits and promotional items, Three6ixty delivers garments that look exceptional and last significantly longer than conventional printed clothing.
Why Sublimation Clothing Is Quickly Becoming the Preferred Choice
With older printing methods such as screen printing and vinyl transfers, designs are layered on top of the fabric. This often results in cracking over time, ink fading or sections peeling off once the garment is washed repeatedly. Sublimation technology does the opposite. It embeds the dye directly into the garment using heat and pressure, forming a permanent bond that allows the fabric to remain breathable and flexible. That means there is no uncomfortable texture, no cracking and no fading. For staff who work long shifts, athletes who require performance wear and businesses that need long-term value from their apparel budget, sublimation clothing provides a superior solution. Three6ixty has embraced this method to its fullest, ensuring that both quality and visual impact are maintained across every garment in their collection.
Every Garment in the Three6ixty Sublimation Range
To provide a true one-stop solution, Three6ixty offers a vast range of sublimation clothing options. Each category has been developed to suit different environments—from office-friendly attire to extreme sportswear and promotional gear. Below is an in-depth overview of their growing catalogue:
Sublimated T-Shirts
Available in both round neck and V-neck options, as well as in short-sleeve or long-sleeve variations, these t-shirts provide the ideal foundation for branding. They are lightweight, breathable and made with materials that wick moisture away from the skin, making them suitable for both retail environments and warm outdoor conditions. The round neck variation offers a classic fit, while the V-neck provides a modern and stylish alternative for uniforms or promotional wear. Because the designs are fully sublimated, the entire surface of the garment becomes a canvas for brand identity, slogans, sponsor details and striking visual patterns. These shirts are particularly popular for promotional campaigns, team events, company giveaways, staff uniforms and community projects.
Sublimation Golf Shirts
A refined polo-style garment with either short sleeves or long sleeves, this option brings together professional aesthetics and full-colour branding potential. The golf shirts are ideal for client-facing roles, office wear, corporate golf days and corporate events where professionalism needs to meet comfort. The collars and cuts provide a premium feel while still allowing unrestricted freedom of movement. Sublimation means logos, patterns and messaging flow naturally across the fabric with no awkward overlays or stiff textures. Many clients in the hospitality, tourism and retail sectors choose these shirts to upgrade their visual presentation while still maintaining comfort and mobility.
Warmwear Range
For cooler weather or for layering uniforms and sports kits, Three6ixty provides a wide selection of sublimated warmwear garments. Unlike standard pullovers and jackets, these items retain full custom branding without compromising comfort. The warmwear selection includes:
Hoodies
Ideal for outdoor events, team travel wear or casual staff uniforms, sublimated hoodies offer both warmth and visibility. They are crafted with a poly-fleece blend that provides insulation without making the garment heavy. With a modern streetwear appeal, they are also suitable for promotional campaigns aimed at younger audiences.
Sweaters
A slightly lighter option than a hoodie, the sublimated sweater is perfect for layered office wear or general staff attire. It delivers a neat appearance while still allowing freedom to integrate large-format branding.
Puffer Jackets
Built for colder conditions, the puffer jackets incorporate insulation while maintaining a clean, modern finish. Sublimation ensures that designs, logos and colour schemes remain consistent across the jacket panels without disruption.
Body Warmers
These sleeveless vests are ideal for individuals who need mobility while still maintaining insulation around the core. They work well for delivery services, outdoor staff, field technicians and activewear.
Soft-Shell Jackets
Constructed to be wind-resistant and water-resistant, soft-shell jackets provide a premium outer layer that combines functionality with brand presence. Outdoor staff and sports teams benefit particularly from this style.
Sportswear and Team Kits
Performance garments are a major focus within the Three6ixty range. Designed with athletic use in mind, these kits combine moisture-management technology with strong visual branding. They include:
Rugby Kits
Made to withstand heavy physical contact and frequent washing, rugby kits need durability and flexibility. Sublimation allows for vivid team colours and sponsor details without adding weight.
Soccer Kits
Whether for amateur clubs or professional teams, sublimated soccer kits deliver full uniform cohesion while maintaining comfort and breathability on the field.
Netball Kits
These are typically tailored to provide freedom of motion and lightweight comfort. With sublimation, graphics and colours remain consistent throughout the season.
Hockey Kits
Crafted with durability and flexibility in mind, hockey kits often feature reinforced stitching and intense colour palettes—an ideal match for sublimation printing.
Cycling Kits
For long-distance and competitive cycling, aerodynamics and moisture control are essential. Sublimated cycling kits ensure comfort while still providing full-coverage branding for teams or sponsors.
Cricket Kits
With long hours spent in outdoor environments, cricket kits demand breathable fabric and strong sun resistance. Sublimation ensures vivid colours without fading and is ideal for seasonal teamwear.
Gym Tights and Gym Vests
For fitness enthusiasts and gym staff, sublimated tights and vests provide a sleek, professional appearance. These garments contour naturally to the body and maintain flexibility.
Track Pants and Track Tops
Popular in schools, universities and professional teams, track sets are often used for travel, warm-ups and casual uniforms. Sublimated designs keep teams coordinated and easily identifiable at any event.
Sublimated Headwear and Accessories
To extend branding beyond clothing, Three6ixty has included an impressive range of accessories that complete the look. These items are frequently used for promotions, uniforms, giveaways and coordinated branding:
Caps
Lightweight and structured, these caps offer a classic silhouette while carrying bold sublimated designs across the front, sides or entire surface.
Bucket Hats
Commonly used at festivals, events and corporate giveaways, bucket hats offer full sun coverage and ample space for eye-catching branding.
Bandanas
Versatile and lightweight, bandanas can function as fashion accessories, sportswear additions or promotional items.
Cooling Towels
A functional item for sporting events, gyms or promotional giveaways. They utilise cooling fabric and sublimated branding for practical flair.
Blankets
Often used for events, outdoor gifting and merchandise production. Sublimation allows for large prints that are ideal for logos and artwork.
Scarves
A suitable garment for both fashion use and athletic uniforms, scarves offer full-surface sublimation possibilities.
Buffs and Tubular Headwear
A multi-functional accessory that has become widely used in recent years for both sport and casual wear. Buffs provide strong branding potential and functional versatility.
Socks
Offered in multiple variations, including tab socks, classic crew socks, ribbed crew socks and high-knee socks. All options support sublimation printing for matching team or staff uniforms.
The Technology Behind Sublimation Printing
The process begins with specialised sublimation inks that convert from solid to gas when exposed to heat. These inks transfer from a printed sheet into the polyester fabric using a heat press, permanently bonding with the material. As the inks become part of the garment itself, there is no added texture or raised surface. For wearers, this means enhanced comfort and greater durability. For businesses, it means long-term cost efficiency and brand consistency. The garments retain their design integrity even after multiple washes, exposure to sweat or intense sun. Traditional printing methods simply can’t match that performance. This method has proven especially valuable in garments that experience constant friction—such as team sports kits and work uniforms.
The Three6ixty Advantage: From Design to Delivery
Three6ixty has built their reputation on delivering high-quality brand solutions, and the sublimation range is no exception. The process begins with consultation, where the team takes the time to understand the brand’s personality, preferred colour schemes, intended use and performance requirements. Once the concept is clear, their design specialists begin developing creative artwork that utilises the full potential of sublimation technology. Whether clients know exactly what they want or need guidance, the team provides direction every step of the way. After approval, production is executed using precision technology and premium fabrics. Care is taken to ensure consistent colour output across different garments, especially for full uniform sets. Finally, the garments are finished, checked and delivered on schedule—ready for immediate use.
Real Value for Teams, Businesses and Events
The greatest measure of success often lies in how long a garment lasts. Where standard printed clothing may need replacing after a short time, sublimation garments from Three6ixty maintain their visual quality and structural integrity. Every investment goes further, reducing replacement cycles and improving brand consistency. Staff members appreciate the comfort and fit, while team members enjoy garments that hold up under pressure. Schools, clubs and companies often choose sublimation when brand identity is key, as each piece can feature logos, sponsor branding or team inspiration without affecting wearability. For events—whether large festivals or local community functions—sublimated clothing provides a cohesive and bold aesthetic that builds morale and strengthens brand awareness.
Combining Embroidery With Sublimation
Although sublimation is powerful on its own, Three6ixty also provides embroidery as an optional finishing touch. Embroidery gives garments a textured, premium feel—ideal for logos, names and official detailing. When combined with sublimation, embroidery can create a layered design that stands out in professional environments. For corporate apparel and sports uniforms alike, this hybrid approach ensures strong branding while maintaining sophistication.
