Heat Tape

Sublimation heat tape is a specialized adhesive tape used in the sublimation process to hold transfer papers, fabrics, or other materials securely in place during heat pressing. It is designed to withstand high temperatures without melting or leaving residue, ensuring that your designs stay perfectly aligned and intact during the heat transfer process.

In sublimation, precise positioning is crucial to achieve vibrant, high-quality prints. Heat resistant tape for sublimation helps you keep everything in place while the heat press does its work, ensuring that the transfer paper doesn’t shift and the design transfers accurately onto the surface of your product.

Why You Need Heat Tape:

• Secure Placement: Keeps transfer paper or fabric in the exact position you want, preventing misalignment during pressing.
• No Residue: Unlike regular tapes, heat tape won’t leave sticky residue or damage the material when removed.
• Durability: It can withstand the high temperatures of the heat press, ensuring it holds up throughout the sublimation process.
• Versatility: Works on a wide variety of materials, including apparel, mugs, tiles, and other sublimation blanks.

Can You Use Painter’s Tape Instead of Heat Tape for Sublimation?

While you can use painter’s tape for sublimation, it's not the ideal choice. Painter's tape tends to be stickier and may leave behind a residue when exposed to heat. On the other hand, sublimation heat tape is specifically designed to hold your project in place without leaving any sticky marks. Using the right heat tape ensures a clean, professional finish for your sublimation projects!
