3D Sublimation Transfer Film

3D sublimation film​ is a specialized transfer film used to imprint high-resolution, durable designs onto three-dimensional objects. It consists of a base film (e.g., PET) coated with ​sublimation dyes​ that turn from solid to gas when heated. This gas bonds with polymer-coated surfaces (e.g., plastic, ceramics), creating a permanent, seamless design that wraps around curved or irregular shape

How to Use 3D Sublimation Transfer Film

1, Prepare the Design:
Create or select your design using graphic design software
 
2, Print on the Film:
Load the 3D sublimation film into the sublimation printer to print the design
 
3, Sublimation Process:
Place the object with the secured film in the 3D vacuum heat press.
Activate the vacuum to ensure the film wraps tightly around the object’s contours, then start the sublimation process. The vacuum and heat will cause the ink to turn into a gas and bond with the object’s surface.
 
4, Cool and Peel;
Once the process is complete, carefully remove the object from the machine.
Peel off the film gently to reveal the transferred design. The ink should be fully embedded in the object, leaving a vibrant, durable finish.

Yes, then the MOQ is 1000 sheets of per size.

Yes, that at least you need to order 1000 bags.

Films must be used within one week if they are exposed to the air and the humidity is higher than 60%, , and the bag must be sealed after every single time you take films out from it, otherwise films are unavailable to use anymore once they got moisture.

Printed on the matte side, and after printing, place it in an oven at 55 degrees Celsius for roasting 20 minutes. If the pattern is particularly dark, you also need to blow it with a hair dryer for about 10 seconds before printing, which is in a bid to assure the high quality and optimize the efficiency of finished product.

This is because the film is not completely dry, so it cannot be sublimated. Every sheet of films need to be completely dry before sublimation job, otherwise bumpy spots/white fleck will be generated and some areas cannot be printed.

The workshop must be the enclosed one , especially in the rainy season, the window must not be opened, otherwise the printed pattern is easy to be diffusive (which means that the film has been wet). The humidity of the workshop should be controlled below 60 degrees to ensure the normal use of the film.

The implication of humidity greater than 60 degrees on film will be:

---The film will be prone to be culred up after printing

---Got moistured and faulty, unavailable anymore, only have to discard

---Become worthless due to the uneven/irregular patterns attached on the film
