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 Button

Clean off the button with a cleaning cloth, all-purpose cleaner, or a can of compressed air.

Step 3. Pair the Transfer With the Button

Lay the transfer down on a flat surface with the printed image facing up. Place the button shiny side down on the transfer. Take two pieces of heat tape and secure the button to the transfer.

Step 4. Let’s sublimate!

Place the transfer and button 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.

Once the timer is done use heat-protective gloves to remove the button from the press. Let cool.

Step 6. Attach the Adhesive Safety Pin to the Back of the Button

Remove the film from the back of the safety pin. Make sure the button is right side up and stick the safety pin to the back of the button.
