instructions
Step 1. Get Your Heat Press Ready
Turn on your heat press. We recommend pressing all of our products at 385°F / 195°C. Be sure to lay a piece of protective paper on the bottom of the press.
Step 2. Prep Your Name Badge
Remove any film that may be on the surface of the bookmark. Clean off the bookmark with a cleaning cloth, all purpose cleaner, or a can of compressed air.
Step 3. Pair the Transfer With the Name Badge
Lay the transfer down on a flat surface with the printed image facing up. Place the top side of your name badge face down, on top of the transfer, and line it up. Take two pieces of heat tape and secure the name badge to the transfer.
Step 4. Let’s Sublimate!
Place the transfer and name badge into the heat press with the transfer on top. Lay another piece of protective paper on top. Confirm that the heat press is at the correct temperature. Pressing times are below.
Aluminum Name Badge: 45 – 55 seconds
Aluminum Name Badge – Clear Gloss: 45 – 55 seconds
FRP Name Badge: 55 – 65 seconds
Step 5. Remove Name Badge from Heat Press
Once the timer is done use heat-protective gloves to remove the name badge from the press. Let cool.
Enjoy your new name badge!
