Mug heat presses

Heat presses are essential tools for professionals in textile marking and object personalisation. Specialising in textile printing solutions, Manutech-Print offers a full range of high-performance mug heat presses, designed to meet the needs of demanding workshops. Engineered for marking mugs, bottles, or tumblers, mug heat presses enable precise and efficient sublimation transfers. They ensure uniform pressure and constant temperature—both critical for achieving sharp, durable results on curved surfaces.

Mug Heat Presses: Advanced Sublimation Technology for Objects

Mug heat presses operate on the same principle as flat presses: they apply thermal pressure to a sublimation ink transfer. These machines are uniquely designed with a cylindrical shape to perfectly fit mugs and bottles.

Thanks to this technology, the printed image is durably embedded into the polyester coating of the item. The result is vibrant, wash-resistant, and offers premium-quality personalisation.

At Manutech-Print, we offer high-quality equipment built for professional use. Schulze, a well-known brand for its durable and reliable machines, is central to our catalogue.

Schulze mug heat presses come in various sizes and capacities, tailored to your production volumes and the types of items you're personalising. From single custom jobs to large-scale production, every machine meets precise industrial requirements.
