Printing process of Plastic Sublimation Pencil Case And Portable Tableware Storage

1. Design Preparation:

   • Create or select the desired design using graphic design software (e.g., Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator).
   • Ensure the design is mirrored or flipped horizontally, as it will be reversed during the sublimation process.
   • Save the design in a high-resolution format (e.g., JPEG, PNG) to ensure clear and vibrant printing.

2. Printing the Design:

   • Load sublimation ink into a compatible inkjet printer. Sublimation ink is specially formulated to turn into a gas when heated, allowing it to bond with polyester or polymer-coated surfaces.
   • Print the mirrored design onto sublimation paper. This paper is designed to release the ink when heat is applied.

3. Preparing the Plastic Case:

   • Ensure the plastic surface of the pencil case or tableware storage is clean and free of any dust or debris.
   • If necessary, apply a heat-resistant tape to secure the sublimation paper to the plastic surface and prevent it from shifting during the heat press process.

4. Heat Pressing:

   • Place the plastic case with the sublimation paper on a heat press machine.
   • Apply heat and pressure for a specific duration, following the manufacturer's recommendations for the sublimation ink, paper, and plastic material. Typical settings might be around 350-400°F (175-205°C) for 45-75 seconds.
   • The heat causes the sublimation ink to turn into a gas, which then penetrates the polymer coating on the plastic surface, creating a permanent bond.

5. Cooling and Finishing:

   • Carefully remove the plastic case from the heat press and allow it to cool completely.
   • Once cooled, peel off the sublimation paper to reveal the transferred design on the plastic surface.
   • Inspect the print for any imperfections and ensure the design has transferred correctly.

6. Protective Coating (Optional):

   • Depending on the type of plastic and the desired level of durability, a clear protective coating or sealant may be applied to the printed surface to protect the design from scratches, fading, and wear.
