Smile heat press for patches

Can someone please tell me what type of heat press machine (preferably a small one) I can purchase for applying patches onto uniforms. I don't want a large machine, a really small one would be ideal. Can you give me the name of it or the company who sells it.
Thanks a bunch-Tyra

Default Re: heat press for patches

A hat press is a possibility, although you would be limiting yourself to just small items if you got that.

Hotronix makes an 11X15 inch press. I think that's the smallest i have seen. Ebay and craigslist are good sources for used (and new) presses.

If you don't need production, even a home iron will seal a patch. But it takes longer than a press would.
