Looking for a heat press custom-made platen to hold can koozies for a 16x20 press.

slip on 8 or more koozies at a time to press them all at one time.

I would think you'd need to talk to the press manufacturer since the mounting aparatus on the bottom of the platen is different from model to model. Hotronix will make custom platens for their line and I think George Knight will also. You might also ask the folks at Conde Systems, they have a lot of specialized sublimation setups.

We used to have a can cooler platen for our screen press. We never had any luck doing them with transfers, they just couldn't handle the heat, the ones we did at least.

One other note, the term "Koozie" is a trademarked name belonging to one manufacturer so be careful. They do actively enforece their trademarks and they are a relatively large company in a good position to do so financially.
