Softshell with TPU Membrane for Sublimation Printing – Waterproof, Breathable and Flexible Technical Fabric

Technical Softshell Fabric for Outdoor Wear, Workwear and Custom Printed Products

Softshell with a high-quality TPU membrane is a modern technical fabric that combines functionality, comfort and durability. Thanks to the 6% elastane content, the material is stretchable, flexible and resistant to deformation. The outer layer is suitable for sublimation printing, which means the fabric can be personalised with full-colour graphics, logos or custom patterns with sharp detail and long-lasting colour, even under intensive use. The result is a ready-to-sew, visually attractive and durable printed softshell fabric that works perfectly in both outdoor collections and corporate apparel.

The combination of a TPU membrane (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) with the flexible fabric structure provides high water resistance (WR > 8,000 H₂O) and excellent breathability (WVP > 3,000 g/m²/24h). This softshell fabric helps protect against rain, wind and cold, while allowing moisture to escape to the outside.

Why Choose Softshell with Sublimation Printing?

Care and Everyday Use

To maintain the performance of the fabric and the quality of the print, we recommend washing at a low temperature, using gentle detergents, avoiding fabric softeners and air drying. Do not iron directly on the printed side, as this helps preserve both the print layer and the membrane.
