Sublimation leather is matte white on the front of the patch.
Sublimation area is approximately 3″x2.25″ (rectangle & oval) or 2″ or 2.5″ diameter circle and about 0.045″ thick, but can vary slightly. Patches are flexible and can be used for many applications. DOES NOT INCLUDE ADHESIVE. Would need to be glued or sewed on to final project. You’ll want to make your design with a border roughly 1/16″-1/8″ larger than the design area to ensure full coverage.
