Engineered Through Sublimation


More Than Printing

Sublimation is often misunderstood as just a printing method.
At VINGKARN, it is a design technology.

Instead of placing ink on the surface,
sublimation bonds color directly into the fabric fibers —
becoming one with the garment itself.

The result is not a layer.
It is part of the fabric.

 

Why Sublimation Matters for Runners

Running apparel is exposed to constant movement, sweat, friction, and washing.
Surface prints crack. Transfers peel. Colors fade.

Sublimation solves these problems at the core.

  • Colors remain vivid over time

  • No added weight or stiffness

  • No cracking, peeling, or heat-sealed layers

  • Full breathability preserved

What you feel is fabric — not print.


Freedom of Design, Without Compromise

Because sublimation is embedded into the fabric,
design is no longer limited by panels or seams.

Lines can flow continuously —
from front to back, shoulder to hem —
without interruption.

This allows VINGKARN designs to express movement, rhythm, and continuity,
mirroring the way a runner moves through space and time.


Lightweight by Nature

Sublimated garments require no additional print layers.
No silicone. No rubber. No heavy transfers.

This keeps the fabric lightweight, flexible, and responsive —
especially critical for long-distance running and high-intensity training.

Less weight.
Less distraction.
More movement.

 

Performance That Lasts

Because the color becomes part of the fiber,
sublimated fabrics maintain their performance even after repeated washing.

  • No fading from sweat or UV exposure

  • No texture change over time

  • No loss of elasticity or airflow

The garment performs the same on day one
and months into your journey.


Precision Meets Craftsmanship

Sublimation requires precision.

Color calibration.
Heat control.
Fabric compatibility.

Every VINGKARN piece is produced with strict control over these variables,
ensuring that performance, color accuracy, and durability meet our standards.

This is where technology meets craftsmanship.


Designed to Move, Designed to Endure

At VINGKARN, technology is never separate from design.

Sublimation allows us to create garments that move freely,
feel effortless on the body,
and maintain their character over time.

Because when the run becomes long,
what you wear should disappear —
leaving only movement behind.
