Sublimation Mug Presses
Curved drinkware cannot be pressed flat — a mug press wraps a heated element around the mug so pressure and temperature stay even across the whole print area. Biz Supplies stocks single-station and multi-function mug presses from our Peakhurst (Sydney) warehouse.
What we stock
- 11oz professional-grade mug press — the standard production machine for the most common mug size
- Large mug press, 10oz–15oz — covers latte mugs and taller vessels off one element
- 4-in-1 multi-function — interchangeable elements for several mug diameters, useful when your range spans mugs, steins and bottles
- 5-in-1 combo (swing-away) — mug, cap, plate and flat platen on one machine, for shops starting out
Getting clean mug prints
Two things cause most rejects. First, a shifted wrap — secure the transfer with heat tape along the seam, not just at one edge. Second, handling while hot — the coating stays soft for a few seconds after release, so let the mug cool before you touch the print face.
Element size must match the mug diameter, not just its volume. A press sized for 11oz will not close evenly on a 15oz latte mug.
Also needed
Coated mugs and drinkware, sublimation paper, sublimation ink, and a flat press for everything that is not curved. Full range: sublimation equipment. Advice on (02) 9119 2164.
