Your Brand, Unlimited Colours, One Hoodie — Made to Your Exact Specification
Standard branded hoodies give you a logo on the chest.
The PK Planett Custom Panel Hoodie gives you something fundamentally different.
The top colour panel — hood, shoulders, and upper chest — is fully sublimated, which means your artwork is heat-fused directly into the fabric at a molecular level.
No embroidery thread count limits.
No screen printing colour restrictions.
No minimum logo size.
Unlimited colours, unlimited design complexity, unlimited logos — all rendered with photographic precision on the sublimated panel, against a clean black poly/cotton body that frames the artwork and keeps the overall garment looking sharp and professional.
This is the hoodie for organisations that have outgrown what standard decoration methods can deliver — sports clubs that want gradient team colours, businesses that need full-panel brand imagery, schools that want mascots rendered in full detail, and event teams that need a garment that is unmistakably theirs.
Custom made to order.
Sizes from 2XS through to 9XL — one of the widest size runs available in Australian custom workwear.
30-Day Business Accounts are available for established Australian organisations.
Impact & Outcome: What Full-Panel Sublimation Delivers
- Unlimited Colour Sublimation on Top Panel → No colour count restrictions, no gradient limitations, no design complexity ceiling → Your artwork is reproduced exactly as designed — photographic detail, full brand accuracy
- Unlimited Logos in the Sublimated Panel → Multiple sponsors, multiple brands, or complex multi-element designs all accommodated in a single panel → Ideal for sports clubs, events, and multi-sponsor programs
- Heat-Fused Sublimation Process → Artwork is bonded into the fabric at a molecular level, not applied on top → Colour does not crack, peel, or fade through repeated washing — the design is permanent
- Black Poly/Cotton Body → Clean, versatile base that frames the sublimated panel → Professional appearance that works across sports, corporate, education, and event applications
- Poly/Cotton Fabric Construction → Combines polyester durability with cotton comfort → Breathable, soft against the skin, and built for repeated wear

- Custom Made to Order → Each hoodie is produced to your specification — not pulled from generic stock → Your brand is the product, not an afterthought applied to someone else's garment
Understanding Sublimation: Why It Outperforms Standard Decoration
Sublimation is a heat-transfer process in which dye is converted from solid to gas and bonded directly into the polyester fibres of the fabric.
The result is artwork that is part of the fabric itself — not sitting on top of it.
This produces three outcomes that no other decoration method can match simultaneously.
First, unlimited colour reproduction — gradients, photographic images, complex multi-colour logos, and fine detail are all rendered with the same fidelity as a printed page.
Second, permanent durability — because the dye is bonded into the fibre rather than applied as a surface layer, it cannot crack, peel, or wash out.
Third, no hand feel — there is no raised surface, no texture change, no stiffness in the decorated area.
The sublimated panel on the Custom Panel Hoodie feels identical to the rest of the garment — the artwork is invisible to the touch.
The B2B Friction-Free Guide
Design Process
The sublimated top panel accommodates any artwork file in standard vector or high-resolution raster format.
Our team will review your artwork and provide a digital proof before production commences — no garments are produced until you have approved the design.
If you need design assistance, our in-house team can work with your brand guidelines to develop panel artwork that maximises the sublimation area.
Production
The Custom Panel Hoodie is made to order — production commences after artwork approval and order confirmation.
Lead times vary based on order volume and current production scheduling.
Contact our team at the point of enquiry to confirm current lead times and discuss scheduling for time-sensitive programs — season launches, event merchandise, school uniform rollouts.
Sizing
Available from A(2XS) through to A(9XL), the Custom Panel Hoodie covers the complete spectrum of your team, club, or workforce without requiring separate orders or custom sizing arrangements.
The ‘A’ prefix denotes the PK Planett sizing system — contact our team for a detailed size chart before placing your order.
We recommend ordering a sample or confirming sizing with our team before committing to a full production run — see our Samples Ordering Process below.
Account Terms
Established Australian organisations can apply for a 30-Day Business Account, enabling invoice-based procurement aligned with standard accounts payable cycles.

Real-World Logic: This Hoodie Across Three Australian Applications
Application A — Community Sports Club, Queensland
A rugby league club needs 80 hoodies for players, coaching staff, and volunteers for the new season.
The club's colours are a complex gradient from deep maroon to gold, with a detailed mascot that has never been reproducible via embroidery or screen printing without significant compromise.
The sublimated top panel renders the gradient and mascot with full photographic fidelity — exactly as the club's designer intended.
The black poly/cotton body keeps the overall garment looking sharp on the sideline and in the clubhouse.
The size run from 2XS to 9XL means the junior volunteer and the senior prop both get a hoodie that fits — from a single order and a single invoice.
Application B — Corporate Team, New South Wales
A technology company is launching a new product and needs 150 branded hoodies for the launch event team.
The brand guidelines require a specific Pantone gradient that cannot be matched by screen printing, and the design includes three separate logo elements that would require three separate embroidery placements.
The sublimated panel accommodates all three logos and the gradient in a single production step — no compromise, no approximation, no multiple decoration runs.
Application C — School, Victoria
A secondary school is introducing a new sports uniform hoodie for its representative teams.
The school crest, house colours, and year group designation all need to appear on the garment.
The sublimated panel handles all three elements simultaneously, and the size run from 2XS to 9XL covers every student from Year 7 through to Year 12 without exception.
Sublimation vs. Standard Decoration: The Honest Comparison
| Criteria | Custom Panel Hoodie — Sublimation | Embroidery | Screen Printing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colour Range | Unlimited — full photographic spectrum | Limited by thread colours available | Limited by screen count (typically 4–6 colours) |
| Gradient Reproduction | Yes — smooth gradients rendered perfectly | No — gradients not achievable | Difficult — requires halftone approximation |
| Fine Detail | Yes — photographic precision | Limited by stitch density | Limited by screen resolution |
| Multiple Logos | Unlimited in single panel | Each logo requires separate placement | Each colour requires separate screen |
| Durability | Permanent — dye bonded into fibre | Durable but can fray over time | Can crack and peel with repeated washing |
| Hand Feel | None — artwork is invisible to touch | Raised texture on decorated area | Slight texture on printed area |
| Design Flexibility | Maximum — any artwork file accepted | Constrained by digitisation process | Constrained by colour separation process |
B2B Intelligence FAQ
Q1: What artwork format do I need to supply for the sublimated panel?
We accept standard vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) and high-resolution raster files (PNG, TIFF at 300dpi or above).
Vector files are preferred for logos and text elements as they scale without quality loss.
High-resolution raster files are suitable for photographic or complex gradient artwork.
If your artwork is not in a suitable format, our in-house design team can assist with file preparation — contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
Q2: Is there a minimum order quantity for the Custom Panel Hoodie?
Minimum order quantities apply for custom sublimation production.
Contact our team with your requirements and we will confirm the applicable minimum and provide a production quote based on your volume, design complexity, and size distribution.
Q3: Can we include multiple sponsors' logos in the sublimated panel?
Yes. The sublimated panel accommodates unlimited logos with no additional cost per logo element.
This makes the Custom Panel Hoodie particularly well-suited to sports clubs with multiple sponsors, events with multiple partners, and organisations with complex multi-brand requirements.
All logo elements are reviewed in the digital proof stage before production commences.
Q4: How does the sublimation hold up through repeated washing?
Sublimation dye is heat-fused into the polyester fibres of the fabric at a molecular level — it is not a surface application.
This means the artwork cannot crack, peel, or wash out through repeated laundering.
The sublimated panel will maintain its colour fidelity and design integrity across the full life of the garment, provided standard care instructions are followed.
Q5: What is the lead time for a custom order?
Lead times vary based on order volume, design complexity, and current production scheduling.
Because each hoodie is made to order, production commences after artwork approval and order confirmation.
Contact our team at the point of enquiry to confirm current lead times — for time-sensitive programs such as season launches, event merchandise, or school uniform rollouts, early engagement is strongly recommended.
Q6: Can we see a proof before production commences?
Yes. A digital proof of the sublimated panel artwork is provided for your approval before any production commences.
No garments are produced until you have reviewed and approved the proof.
This ensures the final product matches your design intent exactly — colour accuracy, logo placement, and panel layout are all confirmed at the proof stage.
Q7: How does the PK Planett sizing system work and how do I choose the right size?
The ‘A’ prefix in the size labels (e.g., A(M), A(XL)) denotes the PK Planett sizing system, which may differ slightly from standard Australian garment sizing.
We strongly recommend requesting a detailed size chart from our team before placing your order, and ordering a sample or fit garment in your most common size before committing to a full production run.
See our Samples Ordering Process below for details.
