With the continuous development of digital printing technology, our garment patterns no longer require the complex plate-making process of screen printing. Many digital printing solutions have emerged, such as dye sublimation, DTF printing, and heat transfer.

Dye-sublimation printing technology dominates the fields of apparel, home décor, promotional gifts, and personalized products. Dye sublimation paper comes in many different sizes, mainly sheet size and roll size, each corresponding to different applications. Choosing the appropriate dye sublimation paper roll size is one of the keys to achieving high-quality printing results. Different widths and lengths are suitable for different workflows. Our dye sublimation factory can cut paper of various sizes, providing suitable options for everyone from small workshops to large textile mills.

As a highly professional dye sublimation manufacturer in China, we offer various sizes of dye sublimation paper rolls to meet the needs of various workshops and textile mills, ensuring stable output, high transfer rates, and excellent color performance.

This guide will introduce the most common dye sublimation paper roll sizes and their respective application scenarios, helping you choose the best solution for your business.
