DESCRIPTION

• Case composed of: double shell with 2 clips to join the pieces, 1 velvet inner lining, and 1 customisable cloth
• Kit with 2 moulds, one for each shell. Prevents deformation from oven heat during sublimation
• Support with spaces to place and immobilise the two shells during assembly
• Reusable moulds and assembly support. Made of high-quality aluminium, very durable

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• It is possible to use a non-vacuum sublimation oven. If so, you can use shrink bags to adhere the sublimation paper to each part of the shell; then, place it in the mould before putting it in the oven. Prior testing is necessary before starting production
• To achieve optimal results, it is advisable to print the case avoiding areas where it is more difficult to adapt the sublimation paper, such as the corners
• The assembly support includes two screws at its base to secure it to a surface if desired. They can be easily removed without tools
• The colour of the moulds and assembly support may vary

MEASUREMENTS

RECOMMENDED SUBLIMATION INSTRUCTIONS AND PARAMETERS

Parameters indicated are for guidance only. It is recommended to conduct prior testing to make necessary adjustments before starting production.

CASE WITH SUBLIMATION OVEN

• Print the design in mirror mode
• Preheat the oven to 200 ºC
• Place each of the 2 pieces of the case in the oven mould
• Cover each piece with the printed paper. Trim excess paper and adhere it with thermal tape, adapting it to the shell as best as possible, avoiding wrinkles
• Place the 2 pieces in the oven and create a vacuum
• Sublimate at 200 ºC for 8 minutes
• At the end of the process, remove the 2 pieces from the oven with a protective glove
• Carefully remove the mould and then the paper

CLOTH WITH PRESS

• Print the design in mirror mode
• Preheat the press to 200 ºC
• Place the cloth on the press base and the printed side of the paper on the cloth
• Close the press at a medium-high pressure for 35 seconds
• With a protective glove, remove the freshly printed cloth
• Carefully remove the paper

GLASSES CASE ASSEMBLY

• After customising the case, place each shell in the slots of the assembly mould
• Attach the clips between the two shells, using a flat screwdriver and a hammer
• Finally, press the clips inward
• Place the inner lining by sticking it with the adhesive tape on its reverse
