Travel Mug 12oz White with Handle Stainless Steel Sublimation Blank [Carton of 25]

📝 Preparation

1. For templates, mock-ups and image size requirements, please refer to the Design tab.
2. Print your design and mirror your image.
3. Clean the substrate printing surface using a microfibre cloth or lint brush to remove dust, oils or lint.
4. Place the printed image face up and align the substrate to the centre of the print.
5. Secure the edges using heat-resistant tape to prevent movement.

🛠️ Mug/Tumbler Heat Press Pressing

1. If this is your first press of this size substrate or you have changed inserts, complete a pressure pre-check before heating.
2. Heat the press to the required temperature.
3. Position the substrate inside the element.
4. Press at the listed heat press settings.
5. Rotation is not normally required for this item.
6. Remove carefully from the press after the timer has finished. The item will be extremely hot.

❄️ Cooling and Assembly

1. Carefully remove the substrate from the press (it will be hot).
2. Peel off the sublimation paper while the substrate is warm for best results.
3. Allow the substrate to cool completely.
4. Attach or reassemble any internal mechanisms, lids or parts if applicable.

✅ Tips for Best Results

• Ensure full edge-to-edge coverage in your design to avoid white borders (ensure bleed is sufficient).
• If colours look dull, increase time by 5 seconds or pressure slightly.
• If the coating looks yellowed, your temperature is too high or time too long.
• Store substrate in a clean, dry, dust-free area before printing.
• During extreme cold weather press for a while longer. (+- 10 Percent of total time)
• Print your prints using our templates which have a black border which you cut slightly inside and this will produce consistent alignment of imagery on large runs.
• Wait for the substrate to reach room temperature before placing in plastic bag and packing into packaging.
