Custom Double-Sided Sublimation Lanyard Clips Heat Transfer Keychain Clip For ID Badges Keys Backpacks

Printing process of Sublimation Lanyard Clips

The printing process for sublimation lanyard clips involves transferring dye-based ink onto a specially coated surface using heat and pressure. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:

1. Design Preparation

• Create or finalize your design using graphic software (e.g., Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or CorelDRAW).

• Ensure the design is mirrored (flipped horizontally) before printing since it will be transferred face-down.

• Use CMYK color mode for accurate color reproduction.

2. Printing the Design

• Print the mirrored design onto sublimation transfer paper using a sublimation ink printer (with dye-based sublimation inks).

• Standard inkjet or laser printers will not work—only sublimation inks can bond with the polymer coating on the lanyard clip.

3. Preparing the Lanyard Clip

• The lanyard clip must have a polyester coating or polymer layer to accept sublimation ink.

• Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or oils before transfer.

4. Heat Press Transfer

• Place the printed sublimation paper face-down onto the lanyard clip.

• Secure it with heat-resistant tape to prevent shifting.

• Use a heat press machine (or a sublimation oven for bulk production) set to:

  • Temperature: 380°F–400°F (190°C–205°C)

  • Pressure: Medium to firm (even pressure for full transfer)

  • Time: 45–60 seconds (varies based on material thickness)

5. Peeling & Cooling

• After pressing, carefully peel off the transfer paper while still warm (or let it cool first, depending on the material).

• The ink permanently bonds with the polyester coating, resulting in a vibrant, scratch-resistant design.

6. Final Inspection & Assembly

• Check for any imperfections (blurring, color shifts, or incomplete transfers).

• Attach the clip to a lanyard, keyring, or other accessories if needed.
