USING HIX MUG WRAPS
⚠ CAUTION
:
MUG(S) and MUG WRAP(S) ARE HOT AFTER HEATING. AL
-
WAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVE OR OVEN MITTS. KEEPS
CHILDREN AWAY FROM HOT/SHARP MATERIALS.
1. TRIM TRANSFER
: Before applying, trim the transfer so that there is no excess
paper above or below the mug.
TIP: Trim the top of the transfer with a
straight edge; this will assist you in
lining the transfer up with the top of
the mug to help eliminate crooked
transfers.
2. APPLY TRANSFER
: Secure the ends of your transfer to the mug using heat tape.
3. WRAP MUG
: Lay mug wrap flat on the table, position mug in the center of wrap.
With one hand, hold the handle against the “loop end” of the wrap at the point where
the silicone rubber wraps around the round bar. With your other hand, grasp the
“hook end” of the mug wrap, and wrap the silicone rubber around the mug. Insert
the bent up portion of the “hook end” into the rectangular opening on the “loop
end.” With both hands, squeeze the two halves of the mug wrap together until it
locks together. You will hear a ‘snap’ sound when the “hook end” is fully inserted
into the “loop end”.
4. PLACE IN OVEN
: Make sure oven is set per transfer/ink manufactures specified
temperature usually 375° – 400°F for sublimation. Place your wrapped mugs in the
oven top down, this will allow heat to be trapped inside of the mug, improving transfer
quality. Space each mug at least 2 inches apart; 2” spacing allows for maximum
airflow between mugs and more even heating of the entire mug.
