5-in-1 12x15 Heat Press Machine with 30oz Tumbler Attachment
Product description
Package contents and attachments:
This unit ships as a 5-in-1 kit that includes a 12x15 inch main heat platen for garments, a 5.5" x 3" cap (hat) attachment, a tumbler heating element for 30 oz tumblers with a removable 10.6-inch wraparound heating sleeve, plus a 5-inch and a 6-inch flat plate for plates or small flat items. The tumbler sleeve fits bottles and mugs with diameters roughly between 2.65 and 3.4 inches and supports common skinny-tumbler sizes (11, 16, 20 and 30 oz) and straight mugs.
Heating elements and surfaces:
The shirt platen is a fast-warming, die-cast aluminum heating plate finished in a non-stick Teflon coating to reduce scorching and simplify cleanup. Two protective Teflon sheets are provided to shield vinyl and fabrics during transfers. Under the platen are thickened silicone and sponge pads that help create a consistent, even pressure surface for clean transfers.
Heat distribution and pressure control:
A dual-tube heating layout provides more uniform temperature across the pressing area, improving transfer clarity. The unit has a manual pressure adjustment knob so you can set force based on material thickness, helping ensure the heating plate meets the substrate evenly.
Safety and mechanics:
The main platen uses a 360° swing-away design so the heater can be moved aside for safe garment positioning. The lower platform slides out on a handle, keeping hands clear and making loading/unloading easier and less hazardous.
Control panel and settings:
The second-generation digital controller lets you program time and temperature precisely. Temperature range is 30–450°F and the timer covers 0–999 seconds. A MODE button lets you choose thermal transfer modes and store presets; once a preset is used the machine maintains that target temperature for repeatable results.
Materials and applications:
Designed for broad use, the 12x15 kit works on T-shirts, caps, ceramic plates and tiles, mugs and tumblers, coasters, mouse pads, puzzles, lettering and many textiles. It handles sublimation and transfers from solvent or dye-based inks onto ceramics, glass and fabrics such as cotton, linen (flax), polyester and nylon.
Operational notes:
The set arrives with the main components ready for assembly; some users find the setup intuitive, though referring to the manual for best practices is helpful. Expect an initial odor from some heated attachments during first use—ventilate the workspace until that dissipates. Gloves and protective sheets included with the kit help when handling hot cups and plates.

Fun bundle with one downside
Everything in the bundle functions as expected and I enjoy making a range of items. The only issue is a strong odor from the cup attachment at first—best to use it outdoors initially.
