    Passport covers for sublimation

    Hi, firstly a big welcome to the forum.

    My business is based in Russia and currently sell premium mobile phone cases both custom print, but majority or own designs. We have also just purchased an epson SC-F6000 and taken delivery, and have produced some very nice sample tshirts, vests, tops work different cuts. As family also own a garment factory it gives us a unique opportunity to easily sublimate and then sew to get a premium finish.

    Has anyone got any experience sublimating passport covers? I ordered some Samuels from china but they were terrible quality and didn't fit in with our premium brand. If anyone knows of any premium passport covers for sublimation please cab you let me know?

    The standard white polyester fabric front with faux leather back are about which print nice but I wouldn't call them premium. Cost around $2.30. What do you class as premium level? Do you have any images of your phone cases which you call premium.

    The ones I bought were some sort of faux leather on both sides, they weren't from a sublimation specific place. And didn't sublimate that well. The print was very faded and they just had a cheap feel about them.

    Are the ones your suggesting a plasticy type glossy front? Are you able to give me a link to one. I am ideally looking for something that can be sublimated all over and has a sort of faux leather feel. But maybe it's not possible.

    Thanks. Does the 2nd option also only have one side for sublimation? And do you use some some tape to stop the black part from being mis printed on during sublimation? (The sublimation I do on other products doesn't require tap so I don't have any experience with this)

    Black faux leather back to the case with white front for printing. Just tape the design you need to print to cover the white print area with the faux leather back hanging off the side of the press so it doesn't melt or get damaged.

    Thanks. That type of product will be fine I think, if I can find one that allows for sublimation on both sides.
