Pressing Multiple Locations On Trucker Caps with Supacolor Headwear Transfers

Hello, Supafam! We are excited to bring you another fantastic tutorial featuring Stephanie from High Range Trading Co. In this video, Stephanie demonstrates how to press multiple locations on headwear using a cap press. Whether you're customizing hats for a brand or creating unique designs, this guide will help you achieve perfect results every time.

Step 1: Preparing the Hat

First things first, it's essential to remove any internal elements of the hat:

  1. Remove the Cardboard: Take out the cardboard insert from the hat. This ensures a smooth surface for pressing.

  2. Pull Out the Flap: When placing the hat on the platen, pull out the inner flap to avoid any creases or bumps.

Step 2: Setting Up the Press

Stephanie sets up the cap press at 300°F with a medium pressure. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Tape Down the Transfer: Secure your Supacolor transfer in place using heat tape.

  2. Use a Pressing Pillow and Parchment: Place a pressing pillow under the hat and a sheet of parchment paper over the transfer. This creates a barrier and ensures even pressure.

Step 3: Pressing the Front of the Hat

Load the hat onto the press:

  1. Secure the Hat: Use the lever to pull the back of the hat and make it snug on the platen.

  2. Position the Pillow and Parchment: Ensure the pressing pillow is beneath the hat and the parchment paper covers the transfer.

  3. Press: Close the press and set the timer for 10 seconds.

Step 4: Peeling the Transfer

Supacolor's new formula offers more flexibility:

  1. Peel Time: You now have a window of 10 to 15 seconds to peel the transfer, making the process more convenient.

Step 5: Pressing on Mesh

To add designs to the mesh part of the hat:

  1. Position the Hat: Pull out the inner flap and secure the hat on the platen with the lever.

  2. Apply the Transfer: Place the transfer on the mesh and cover it with parchment paper.

  3. Press Again: Close the press and press for another 10 seconds.

Step 6: Final Results

In just a few simple steps, you can have a fully decorated hat:

  • The new Supacolor formula makes the process smoother and more flexible.

  • Achieve high-quality, professional results quickly and easily.

Using Supacolor transfers to customize hats is a fast and efficient way to create unique and professional headwear. With Stephanie's expert tips and Supacolor’s reliable transfers, you can press multiple locations on headwear with ease.
