All-over sublimation printing for custom underwear is a printing method used to place personalized artwork across the printable outer areas of the underwear, including the front, back, and sides. At My Custom Undies, this process is used to turn personalized photos, faces, text, and names into a made-to-order underwear design.

“All-over” describes the extent of the printable design area, but it does not mean that every physical part of the underwear is printed. The waistband, inner lining, and labels are not part of the printed area.

The printing process comes after you select an underwear style, add your personalization, and check the design preview. This connects the artwork you create with the finished custom underwear you order.

What Does All-Over Sublimation Printing Mean for Custom Underwear?

All-over sublimation printing means the customized design is printed across the available outer surfaces of the underwear rather than being limited to one small print location.

For My Custom Undies designs, those printable surfaces include three main areas:

  • The front
  • The back
  • The sides

This printing coverage allows photos, text, names, and other personalized artwork to become part of the overall underwear design.

The exact placement of those elements depends on the design you select. A face, name, or photo does not necessarily appear in the same position on every available design.

Which Parts of Custom Underwear Are Printed?

The customized design is printed on the front, back, and sides of the underwear.

These three areas form the primary printable exterior of a My Custom Undies design. Personalized elements can therefore appear across more than one visible part of the garment instead of being restricted to the front.

For example, a selected design may use uploaded photos across the front and back while continuing related artwork around the sides. The specific arrangement depends on the design rather than one universal artwork layout.

This distinction is important when evaluating an “all-over” custom print: printing coverage and artwork placement describe two related but different attributes.

Which Parts Are Not Printed?

The waistband, inner lining, and labels are not printed as part of the all-over customized design.

The three excluded areas are:

  • Waistband
  • Inner lining
  • Labels

For this reason, “all-over sublimation printing” should not be interpreted as printing on every component of the underwear.

It refers specifically to broad printing across the available outer design areas: the front, back, and sides.

How Does Personalized Artwork Become an All-Over Print?

Personalized artwork moves from your selected photos, text, or names into the printable design after you choose a product and configure its available customization options.

My Custom Undies allows customers to personalize designs with elements such as photos, text, and names. Most designs also support face customization.

When photos are used, you can upload up to 6 images. Supported image files include JPG and PNG, with each file kept under 1000 KB.

For designs that use face personalization, the photo background is removed while the face is retained. The prepared face can then be used within the layout of the selected design.

The result is not a separate photo placed independently from the product. The personalized elements become part of the artwork that is prepared for printing across the underwear's printable areas.

How Does the Preview Relate to Sublimation Printing?

The personalized preview lets you check the configured design before placing the order and before the customized underwear moves into production.

The preview is an important step because artwork placement varies by design. Checking the preview helps you understand how the selected personalization is arranged within that particular design.

For example, a design may repeat a face, position text in a specific area, or arrange uploaded photos according to its predefined layout.

The preview therefore connects two stages of customization:

personalized artwork → selected design layout → printed custom underwear

After the customized design is confirmed through the ordering process, it can move into made-to-order production.

Does Artwork Placement Vary by Design?

Yes. Artwork placement varies according to the selected design.

“All-over” describes where printing can extend on the underwear, while the selected design determines how specific elements are arranged inside that printable area.

A photo does not automatically receive one fixed placement across every product design. Faces, photos, text, and names can be positioned differently depending on the design selected during customization.

This is why both the selected layout and the personalized preview matter before ordering.

Can Face Photos Be Used With All-Over Printing?

Most designs support face customization, but face personalization is not available on every design.

For supported designs, an uploaded face photo is prepared by removing the background while retaining the face. That face is then incorporated into the selected personalized layout.

Customers can combine the available design with personalized content according to the customization options provided for that product.

The important qualification is most designs, rather than assuming that every design supports custom faces.

Which Custom Underwear Styles Use Personalized Printing?

My Custom Undies offers personalized underwear across boxers, panties, and thongs.

These product types provide different underwear forms while remaining connected through the same central customization process: choose a style, personalize the available design, review the preview, and order the customized product.

Depending on the style you want, you can explore:

The product style changes, but personalized printing remains part of the broader custom underwear experience.

Does “All-Over” Mean Every Part of the Underwear Is Printed?

No. “All-over” means the personalized design covers the available printable outer areas, not every component of the underwear.

At My Custom Undies:

  • The front is printed.
  • The back is printed.
  • The sides are printed.
  • The waistband is not printed.
  • The inner lining is not printed.
  • The labels are not printed.

This distinction gives a more accurate definition of all-over sublimation printing for custom underwear.

What Should You Check Before Ordering Printed Custom Underwear?

Check your selected design, uploaded personalization, and personalized preview before ordering.

Three details are especially relevant:

  • Check your images: Use supported JPG or PNG files and keep each uploaded image under 1000 KB.
  • Check your personalization: Confirm the photos, faces, text, or names used in the selected design.
  • Check your preview: Review how those elements are arranged because artwork placement varies by design.

You can upload up to 6 photos where the selected customization supports them, and most designs provide face customization.

Once the personalization and preview match the design you want, the customized underwear can proceed through the made-to-order production process.

How Does All-Over Printing Fit Into the Custom Underwear Process?

All-over sublimation printing is the production connection between a personalized digital design and the printable exterior of custom underwear.

The overall process follows a clear sequence:

Choose an underwear style → select a design → add photos, faces, text, or names → check the preview → place the order → print the personalized design on the front, back, and sides.

The waistband, inner lining, and labels remain outside the printed design area.

This process allows My Custom Undies to connect personalization with boxers, panties, and thongs while keeping the customer's selected artwork tied to the design they preview before ordering.
