MUGGIT Sublimer™
Introducing a revolutionary new product which is the biggest evolution in both sublimation and laser transfers of the decade - Muggit Sublimer™!
A first of its kind acrylic type product that prints brilliantly, yet can also be bent into practically any shape and form with the application of heat, without damaging the full photographic colour print.
When printed with sublimation, the print goes into the substrate and is thus extremely hardy. It's very difficult to damage the product under normal wear and tear conditions. It can also be safely used on floors (we've put down a sheet in our driveway and cars run over it daily with no damage to the print). It is the only sublimation product which is safe for outdoor use. But note that the outdoor endurance is dependent upon the inks used and their UV stability. We have tested with Sawgrass™ inks and it still looks fantastic in direct sunlight after 6 months and counting.
When printing Sublimer™ with laser using the Forever™ Multitrans hard surfaces paper, you can get either a gloss or matte effect depending on the print process, and abrasion resistance is higher than most other hard surface transfers.
Sublimation Acrylic sheets can be used for:
- table & shelf talkers
- wedding signage and props
- POS & retail signage
- POS shields (branded)
- photographic light boxes
- photographic ash trays
- floor & wall tiles
- placemats, cutting boards & coasters
- kitchen splashback in full photographic colour
- bathroom decorations
- Plates, bowls & Utensils
- Keyrings and ornaments
- Name badges
- Puzzles and educational toys
In short pretty much anything you can think of that standard acrylic / Perspex™ are used for.
The product is available in opal (white) and clear in both 3mm and 6mm varieties as well as 2T clear with a white sublimatable coating in 5mm. It can be bought as pre-cut shapes, or in sheets which can be laser cut.
The Sublimer™ sheet price compares very favourably with that of a standard non-printable acrylic sheet sold domestically.
One of the most amazing things about this material is that it can be bent/moulded/shaped immediately after pressing while it is still hot, allowing you to produce printed finished products not possible with any other product. All the items in the pictures started out life as a flat sheet and were either laser cut into the shapes you see or moulded/bent while hot.
MUGGIT Sublimer™ 2-Tone (5mm)
The Muggit Sublimer 2-Tone product is similar to the standard sublime product with the difference that it’s 5mm thick and is clear on one side and white on the other.
You print on the white side in the same way as you print onto the glass items, and the print looks 3D. The print quality is also superior to the plain Sublimer.
Just like the Sublimer, it can be shaped while hot. The only downsides of the Sublimer ™ 2-Tone are that it’s more expensive than the plain Sublimer and it’s not really suitable for larger-sized products unless it’s being formed into a shape, because as it cools it warps slightly.
With a 2nd T-shirt press, larger pieces can be pressed in a cold press to not warp after printing.
MUGGIT Sublimer™ 2-Tone (20mm)
This is the 2cm thick version of the 2-Tone sublimer material. The rear of the item is printed and the print is viewed from the front. The thickness of the material gives the 2-Tone sublimer material incredible dimensional stability (which means it doesn’t warp when hot) as well as the most incredible 3D effect. The finished product is truly mesmerizing. This product is ideal for high-end customers.

MUGGIT Thin Sublimer™
Introducing thin Sublimer. Thin sublimer is a 0.3mm thick sublimation printable plastic which can be laser cut, cut with scissors or a craft knife and even be cut by some vinyl cutters (we used the Cameo 4).
It’s thin enough to allow light through (so you can make lamp shades and lanterns out of it) yet sturdy enough to be used for a whole host of other products including things like jewellery, ornaments, caps and so on. Only one side is sublimation printable (imagine if both sides were printed and you used it as a lamp shade) but the transfer is superb and since it’s plastic impervious to water and most chemicals making it perfect for harsh environments.
Here you can see some products we’ve made from this product which is sold in 60 x 50cm sheets.
