I did this probably about 7 years ago on a tjet 2. I held it down with masking tape. It was on the koozies that have seams on the sides so you could flatten them down rather then the foam ones. Before printing I had to create a template in fast artist so I knew where exactly the art would print at.

Awesome. Thanks. That was my plan. I have the "baby t shirt" platen. So I it fits nice, I can tape it down easily on that. I have created the template already too. Thanks for the answer

Great. No problem.

Worked like a charm. Burned a koozie or 2 before I realized, the poly pretreat absorbs into the foam under the outer poly layer. So I had to be sure to allow enough time to dry

I see. So you were printing white on them?

Same idea, on a Veloci-Jet XL Printer, as Billy described.

Very nice!

I didn't print white on them. I put the poly pretreat on them because they are polyester. I wanted to make sure the ink stayed nice and bright after curing.

Ok. I totally read past poly and just read pretreat.

On another note, one customer wanted their website on the bottom of the koozie.... People find any possible way to make a simple job more difficult.
Well I was perplexed on how to get it on a platen. And it dawned on me... Put the koozie on a full (unopened) can, turn it upside down and you have a koozie platen. If you want to print on the bottom anyway.

Bottom of koozie? Well I guess when your drinking someone else can read the site. lol. Good idea on the cans.
