Est. 2007 — Carlisle, UK
If you can imagine it, you can create it.
Supplying the UK's makers, crafters and print businesses with everything sublimation — from a single mug to a full pallet.
From a garage to Burgh Road
The Prima Group began life in 2007 in a Carlisle garage, trading as Canvas and Stretcher Bars — supplying inkjet canvas rolls and wooden stretcher bars for mounting printed canvases. By 2012 that garage had grown into a 25,000-square-foot warehouse.
Dye Sublimation Supplies followed in 2015, created in response to growing customer demand — and quickly became one of the UK's largest sublimation suppliers, serving hobbyists, small businesses and production facilities nationwide. Today it all runs from a purpose-built facility on Burgh Road, Carlisle, with a showroom you are welcome to visit.
