Build a practical heat-transfer setup around the products you actually make—from shirts and flat goods to wrapped drinkware and sublimation-ready blanks.
A full-size flat press with the loading space where it matters: in front of the hot upper platen.
T-shirts, tote bags, pillow covers, HTV, DTF transfers, and compatible flat sublimation blanks.

Dedicated wraparound heat for drinkware, including the changing geometry of large handled tumblers.
Large handled tumblers and straight drinkware that fit the supported heater diameter and length.

Straight-sided, coated blanks that make wrap sizing more predictable and batch packing easier.
Personalized gifts, event sets, branded drinkware, and short product runs with repeatable blank geometry.

A compact insulated mug format with a straight printable body and a handle that must clear the heater.
Coffee gifts, monograms, company merchandise, illustrations, and small coordinated collections.

Typical work: apparel, totes, pillow covers, fabric panels, HTV, DTF, and compatible flat blanks.
Use wraparound heating when the image continues around drinkware. Direct sidewall contact is what a flat platen cannot provide, even at the same temperature.
Typical work: straight tumblers, bottles, mugs, and large 40 oz handled vessels within the supported dimensions.
Measure the blank, not only its advertised capacity. Two products labeled “20 oz” can have different diameters. Check the printable height, circumference, handle clearance, and attachment range before pressing.
The lower platform slides toward the operator, creating clear sightlines for centering artwork and threading a shirt. It also avoids the side clearance a swing-away top would need.
Plan for drawer depth in front of the machine. Keep collars, seams, buttons, and zippers outside the pressing area so raised details do not steal pressure from the transfer.
Center the blank and artwork without reaching beneath a platen that may already be close to 400°F.
Use the requirement for the actual transfer system. More pressure is not automatically better.
The heat-resistant pad helps with small thickness variations and steadies garments during loading.
Several owners note that the press can take two hands to open, especially at first. Set pressure for the job, not maximum force.
Verify the blank, transfer method, printable area, and press attachment before preparing the final artwork.
Clean the surface, remove protective film where applicable, pre-press fabric when required, and tape rigid transfers so they cannot shift.
Use the time, temperature, pressure, and peel instructions for that exact material. Protect the platen from blowout ink or adhesive.
Handle hot rigid blanks safely, inspect the result, and save the working settings with the exact SKU and transfer system.
Dye enters a receptive polymer surface under heat. Standard sublimation works best on light, high-polyester fabric or purpose-coated rigid blanks.
A cut film bonds to a compatible surface. Follow the vinyl maker’s heat, pressure, and peel instructions.
A prepared printed film uses heat and pressure to bond its adhesive layer to a compatible garment. Peel behavior varies by system.
I don't do this often, nor at all come to think about it, but I will give credit where credit is due. I get seller's asking to rate products, provide feedback. When I do, like this product, I will provide my ho...

I've been pressing apparel sine 2018 and always like having a spare press or two on hand just in case. I'll be honest, we have used MUCH higher-end presses and this one seems superior. It's easy to transport fo...

Omgggg. If you’re thinking about getting this heat press, do it. The slide out is the best thing! It’s way easier than a Vevor heat press that I was trying to use. Horrible brand btw, don’t do it. But this litt...

Very pleased with this heat press! The temperature control is spot on, and the adjustable pressure is a total game changer 🙌 No assembly needed, which made setup super easy. It is a bit heavy, but that just s...

This is a really good company. This is my second heat press I have purchased from them. My first one was not a slide out this one is really good and it slides out really far not like others. You could actually...

Love it! It heats up fairly quickly, was easy to set up with instructions, and works awesome! I'm new to HTV on tshirts, but this machine is easy to set up and use, and I love that you can pull out the tshirt t...

ColorSub began with dye-sublimation blanks for printers, crafters, and creative businesses. The name comes directly from “color” and “sublimation.” The range later expanded into flat heat presses, tumbler presses, transfer materials, and related production supplies.
That connection between equipment and blanks is practical. A press needs to match the shape of the work, and a sublimation blank needs the right receptive surface. ColorSub covers both sides of that workflow so a maker can move from a single personalized gift to a documented small-batch process without changing the core transfer method.
The goal is not to force every object through one machine. It is to use the correct contact geometry for each product while keeping artwork preparation, testing, and production records consistent.
ColorSub is a sublimation and heat-transfer brand founded in 2014. Its product range includes heat press machines, tumbler presses, sublimation blanks, and related supplies for making personalized apparel, drinkware, gifts, and small-batch merchandise.
