DESCRIPTION

• The case includes: double shell, 1 velvet inner pouch, 2 clips, and 1 customisable cloth
• To personalise the case, a kit of 2 moulds is required: one for sublimating the case in the oven and another for assembling the already sublimated case
• The sublimation mould consists of 2 identical bronze-coloured pieces: one for each part of the case shell

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

• It is possible to use a non-vacuum sublimation oven. If so, it is recommended to 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
• For optimal results with ease, it is advisable to print the case avoiding areas where it is more difficult to adapt the sublimation paper, such as the corners

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, fitting it to the shell as best as possible like a cover, avoiding wrinkles
• Place the 2 pieces in the oven and create a vacuum
• Sublimate at 200 ºC for 8 minutes
• After the process, remove the 2 pieces of the case from the oven using a protective glove
• Carefully remove the mould and then the paper

CLOTH WITH PRESS

• Print the design in mirror mode
• Heat 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
• Using a protective glove, remove the freshly printed cloth
• Carefully remove the paper

GLASSES CASE ASSEMBLY PROCESS:

• After personalising the case, place each of the shells in the assembly mould grooves
• Attach the clips between the two shells, using a flat screwdriver and a hammer
• Finally, press the clips inward
• Place the inner pouch by sticking it with the adhesive tape on its back
