Sublimation Designs For Sale
The exact type of file that you should use for sublimation printing will depend on:
- the design software you are using
- the sublimation printer brand
- your file preference
However, most sublimation printers and programs will support PNG files for sublimation transfer designs. Most files online will be sold as PNG files.
Here are some of the best sites for getting design files for sublimation!

Does the commercial license mean i can buy them and sell them on my tumblers and other items? I’m new to sublimation 🙂
Hi Angela! Congrats on your business growing into sublimation! Yes – the commercial license on a design should cover you using it on a tumbler and then selling it. On Design Bundles, for example, here’s the exact wording from their commercial license regarding physical products:
-Make and sell physical end products! (Shirts, mugs, signs, posters, linens, jewelry, books, and more)
Good luck! Sublimation creates such high-quality results while being something you can do from home!
