Default Can I press a cookie jar?

I got a request to put a picture on cookie jars. Hmmm. I don't think I can heat press them but maybe I can either dtg them or use a printed vinyl.

Thoughts?

Sublimation with a wrap seems like the simple way to do it.

There are dye sub cookie jars with wraps (similar to mug wraps but larger) that you can get from The Paper Ranch. Check this link out - Miscellaneous Items. They also have dog/cat dishes as well.

If you try to use a cap press, you will need to make sure that the curve on the cap press matches exactly with the curve on your cookie jar. The odds are not that good. That is why the wraps are used for items like this.

Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Eric,

Well, actually I usually just take advantage of my 3 hour time difference (west coast vs. east coast). Yes, the wraps are the best thing for this type of work unless you have a oven / vacuum blanket system. I have heard a lot of cool things about these systems, but have never seen one in person. Maybe one day.

See you in 6 weeks or so at the Long Beach Show.

Mark
