How To Heat Press Duffel Bags with Supacolor Promotional Heat Transfers


Master Professional Duffel Bag Decoration With Supacolor Promotional

Think decorating bags is too complicated? Think again.

Promotional products and team gear bags are high-margin opportunities that most shops avoid because they don't know the right techniques. Here's your competitive advantage.

Why Supacolor Promo Changes Everything

Supacolor Promotional isn't just another heat transfer—it's specifically engineered for promotional fabrics and bag materials like ripstop. While your competitors struggle with basic vinyl that peels and cracks, you're delivering professional results that last.

The Pro Setup That Makes All the Difference

Temperature: 260°F
Time: 15 seconds
Pressure: Firm

But here's the secret sauce:

Don't: Press directly on hardware and seams
Do: Use press pads and protective felt to elevate your work area

The game-changer: Custom-cut press pillows that lift your artwork above plastic clips and hardware. No contact with heating elements = no melted clips = professional results every time.

Quick Pro Tips That Save Every Job

🔧 Prep the bag: Undo all clips, open all zippers completely
📏 Use sleeve-sized press pillows for small artwork
📐 Use half-square pillows for larger designs
🛡️ Protect hardware with felt pieces
⚖️ Adjust pressure to compensate for height differences

Why This Matters for Your Business

Team orders: Duffel bags complete the uniform package
Corporate clients: Professional promotional products command premium pricing
Repeat business: Quality work on specialty items builds long-term relationships

The bottom line: While other shops say "we don't do bags," you're capturing the full value of every order.
