Sublimated Back patches, are they shite or alright?

I wanna start a thrash only battle vest so obviously I need a reign in blood Back patch, unfortunately this is the only one I can find.....

So my question is, are sublimated backpatches ok? Or do they wear out and crack like other screen printed patches I've had?
Thanks.

Sublimation print will not crack or fade, since the ink dyes the fabric itself. There will be some discoloration over time though. I've had a sublimation printed Destruktor backpatch on my vest since 2009, it used to be black and white but now it's more like a very dark purple and very light brown.

If you doubt the quality that much, just go with an official patch. There is a Hell Awaits BP that looks quite nice.

Rubbish. Those are paper thin and poorly made. You're better off cutting out a t-shirt.

judging by the description I'd say it's printed.

You mean sublimation printed or silk screen printed? Here he sells it in a row with other patches http://heavymetalshop.com.pl/38-patches-?p=13
Especially the Immolation BP looks pretty poor. I think i'll pass then. Shitty sublimation print.
