How to Sublimate Poly Coated Shot Glasses
Due to their small size, shot glasses have been difficult to properly sublimate in the past because as we know, sublimation is about contact. However, the SubliShrink ™ shrink wrap film sleeve not only creates contact but adds a moderate amount of pressure and conforms to the shape of the object. The following describes our new process:
Materials Needed
Digital template
Printed transfer
Blank Shot Glass
SF79 SubliShrink™ Shrink Wrap Film
Heat Tape
Convection Oven
Instructions
1. Download a digital product template and use it to create the uniquely shaped artwork.
2. Print the transfer and cut/trim the printed portion from the page.
4. Cut SF79 SubliShrink ™ Shrink Wrap Film in half and then down the center seam. Film does two shot glasses.
6. Use heat gun to tighten SubliShrink ™ Shrink Film to the Shot Glass.
8. Carefully remove the shot glass from the oven and let cool.
The results create fully imaged drinkware that makes an impression with minimal cost!
