Stretch Fabric with Sublimation Print — Production and Personalisation

Stretch fabric with sublimation print is an elastic polyester knit fabric with added Spandex fibres, designed for advertising, display, trade fair and large-format applications. The material has been developed for projects where good stretchability, aesthetic tension on the frame, tear resistance and high print quality are important.

The material has a weight of 200 g/m², a roll width of 160 cm and a roll length of approximately 50 m. The matte surface finish reduces light reflections and improves graphic readability, while the two-way stretch makes installation easier in display frames, tension systems, trade fair stands, textile banners and other advertising structures.

Stretch fabric with sublimation print is a good solution for advertising companies, print houses, trade stand manufacturers, event agencies, retail brands, store chains and companies creating promotional displays and large-format visual systems.

Material — polyester / Spandex

Stretch fabric is made from polyester with added Spandex fibres. Polyester works very well with sublimation printing, while the addition of Spandex provides elasticity and allows the material to be aesthetically tensioned on a structure.

Key material features:

• material name: Stretch 200g SX,
• material type: polyester / Spandex,
• weight: 200 g/m²,
• roll width: 160 cm,
• roll length: approximately 50 m,
• structure: soft stretch knit fabric,
• finish: matte,
• two-way stretch,
• tear resistance,
• good base for sublimation printing,
• suitable for advertising and display systems.

Thanks to these parameters, the material works well in projects that require even tension, a stable graphic appearance and easy installation.

Two-way stretch

One of the most important features of Stretch fabric is its two-way stretch. The material works in both directions, which makes it easier to fit to a structure and helps achieve a smooth, aesthetically tensioned surface.

Main advantages of two-way stretch:

• easier installation in frames and tension systems,
• better fit to display structures,
• the possibility of achieving an even graphic surface,
• an aesthetic effect without excessive creasing,
• greater flexibility for large-format projects,
• convenience during installation and dismantling of the display.

This is particularly important for advertising systems, trade fair stands, textile banners and graphics tensioned onto frames.

Matte surface finish

The matte finish of the fabric reduces light reflections and improves the appearance of graphics in spaces with changing lighting. This is highly important in trade fair halls, stores, showrooms, points of sale and at events, where the display is viewed from different sides and angles.

Main advantages of the matte surface:

• reduced light reflections,
• better graphic readability,
• a more professional display appearance,
• good colour appearance in retail and trade fair lighting,
• an aesthetic effect on large surfaces,
• versatility in advertising applications.

The matte surface makes the material suitable for promotional, informational and decorative prints.

Tear resistance

Stretch fabric has been designed for advertising and display applications where the material may be repeatedly installed, tensioned, transported and stored. Tear resistance increases the durability of finished display projects.

The material works well in projects where the following are important:

• durability during installation,
• resistance to tension,
• stability in display systems,
• the possibility of repeated use,
• convenient transport,
• resistance to typical exhibition loads.

Thanks to this, the fabric can be used both in short-term campaigns and in advertising systems used for longer periods.

Weight 200 g/m²

The 200 g/m² weight provides a good balance between elasticity, durability and ease of installation. The material is stable enough for advertising applications, while remaining soft and easy to process.

Fabric of this weight works well in products such as:

• display frames,
• tension systems,
• textile graphics,
• advertising banners,
• trade fair stands,
• event displays,
• retail branding elements,
• decorations for commercial spaces,
• large-format projects.

It is a good choice for projects that should look aesthetic, remain lightweight and be practical to install.
