what type of heat press vinyl do i use on can koozies? I have thermoflex here, or do I need something different? thanks.

Koozies are typically made from neoprene. You can try the Thermoflex, however I have not personally heat applied it to neoprene.

The key is to make sure that you create a flat surface when applying. Print Perfect (rubber) pads will work very well for this.

No experience with thermo flex but we use hotmark70 (signwarehouse) on koozies and mouse pads and it works very well

could you post a picture of what the koozies look like? Are they white, colored, etc?

 

[cjcon]

they are just the collapsablefrom for most specialties. I have an assortment of colors.

If the above suggestions don't work, then the material is probably too smooth for anything that can be used with fabric as fabric is rougher. I think the koozies should work with vinyl though.

In that case, I would try mutli-surface paper for hard and smooth surfaces. But you'd have to find a spray to coat the image after it's been transferred to prevent scratching.

ive applied thermoflex to koozies no problem, and they look good.
As suggested lay it flat.

This almost does not seam worth it unless you are just trying to do a couple samples. Koozies are such a low cost item. We are able screen print 4 at one time and offer 250 for $147.50

Two suggestions.
1. Their are two main koozies... Scuba Foam and real neoprene. If you are going to heat press I suggest you use the neoprene when subjecting to high heat.

2. If you heat press cheaper koozies you may run into dye migration issues.

I had a customer use our EasyWeed on their custom koozies that were made of a neoprene. You can lower the temperature to 280 with a light to medium pressure for about 5 seconds.
