Vacuum Transfer Presses – Compact 3D Transfer Presses
Vacuum transfer presses use heat and vacuum to form your transfer film precisely around curved 3D objects. This gives you a brilliant, full-surface design even on round and shaped surfaces. Whether a custom phone case or an application-specific sports item – with the right vacuum transfer press you reliably cover your individual 3D application needs.
With vacuum transfer presses, the right system of press, fixture and target object is what counts, in order to achieve a precise 3D transfer result. In the Vacuum Transfer Presses category, Print Equipment offers you both a universal and an application-specific system for your needs. In the Vacuum Transfer Presses category you'll find the right solution for your workflow.
What defines vacuum transfer presses?
Vacuum transfer presses use heat and vacuum to form a flexible transfer film precisely around a three-dimensional target object. A suitable system of press, fixture and film is decisive for a full-surface, brilliant transfer result on curved surfaces.
The typical use of a vacuum transfer press is clearly structured:
- The 3D target object is positioned in the matching fixture
- The printed transfer film is laid over the object
- Heat and vacuum form the film precisely around the curved surface
- After a short pressing time, the design is bonded permanently and across the full surface to the object
Vacuum transfer presses thus ideally complement our Transfer Presses category and are a sensible addition to our Mug Presses category.
Why vacuum transfer presses are indispensable
Vacuum transfer presses play an important role for a full-surface transfer result on 3D objects. Only with heat and vacuum together can a transfer film be formed precisely around a curved surface, without wrinkles or air pockets.
The most important advantages include:
- Full-surface transfer result: Precisely fitting film forming even on curved surfaces
- Compact design: Space-saving for use in a smaller business
- Low-noise operation: Pleasant working even in continuous use. Your individual target object is decisive for the choice.
- Short pressing cycles: Fast production without an additional cooling phase
- Ideal for professional daily production: Popular with businesses with an individual 3D range
This makes vacuum transfer presses indispensable both for individual one-off production and for specialized applications.
Which systems are there?
In the Vacuum Transfer Presses category, both a universal starter package and an application-specific press are available to you.
Universal starter package
Our Subli Case 3D Plus Press starter package (SKU START-3D-SDPP) offers you a complete entry into 3D vacuum pressing technology for custom phone cases and similar 3D blanks.
Typical characteristics are:
- Output 1,200 watts, pressing temperature around 135°C
- Pressing cycle of 90 to 180 seconds, without an additional cooling phase
- Included in the scope of delivery: press, 4 fixtures, 100 blanks and 100 sheets of transfer film
This makes our starter package ideal for an immediate start in individual 3D personalization.
Application-specific press
Our 3D vacuum press for shin guards (SKU 3D-SHG-PRESS) is designed specifically for the full-surface printing of sports shin guards.
It is particularly suitable for:
- Output 1,500 watts for a quick pressing cycle
- Use together with matching shin guard blanks, fixtures and transfer film
- A construction tailored to this specific application
With our application-specific press you thus find the matching solution for the full-surface personalization of shin guards.
Our vacuum transfer press range at a glance
In Print Equipment's Vacuum Transfer Presses category you'll find a universal starter package and an application-specific press for your 3D workflow.
Typical advantages:
- Complete solution: Press, fixture and target object from a single source
- Specialized applications: Available for individual as well as application-specific 3D objects
Our range of vacuum transfer presses is thus a sensible addition if you want to take care of a full-surface transfer result on 3D objects.
What to look out for when buying a vacuum transfer press
If you want to buy a vacuum transfer press, you should consider various factors in order to find the right solution for your needs.
Important criteria are:
- Target object: Clarify whether you need a universal or an application-specific system
- Fixtures: Pay attention to the matching fixtures for your specific target object
- Transfer film: Check the compatibility of the film with your press
- Pressing temperature and time: Make sure the pressing cycle is suitable for your target object
- Scope of delivery: Clarify whether blanks and fixtures are already included in the starter package
The right selection ensures that you work precisely and across the full surface on 3D objects.
Vacuum transfer presses for different applications
Depending on the target object, the demands on your vacuum transfer press vary considerably. While our universal starter package is suitable for custom phone cases and similar 3D blanks, our application-specific press specifically covers the full-surface printing of shin guards.
The choice of the right system therefore depends strongly on which 3D target object you want to personalize. For getting started with 3D personalization, our universal starter package is suitable, while specialized applications benefit from a dedicated press.
