There are many trends in products such as phone cases . Smartphone owners like to change their shells according to the seasons or events. Opt for more cocooning colours for winter and funkier colours for summer.
There is also an increase in the number of personalisations with a photo or a first name. In general, the personalisation of phone cases is a great success for all occasions: birthdays, Christmas ...
2. Set up your press
Here, for a transfer on phone cases smartphones, we advise you to set your press to a temperature of 160°C and to press for about 60 seconds with strong pressure.

Has your press come to temperature? You can now place your printed visual on the plate, printed side down. Remember to remove the transparent film from the plate before placing your visual on the substrate.
For a better hold, we advise you to fix the sublimation paper with high temperature tape and to put a protective sheet (Teflon sheet, matte finish sheet or greaseproof paper) to protect your press and your substrate.
Are you ready? Press on!
A noter : De façon générale, la démarche à suivre en sublimation est toujours la même : Impression, Réglages des Paramètres dans le logiciel SPM, réglages des paramètres de la Presse, Transfert à chaud.
