How to Press Sublimation MDF Keychain Blanks

Single-Sided Sublimation MDF

  • Press at 190°C for 90 seconds.
  • Use light to medium pressure.
  • Remove the clear protective film from the white sublimation surface before pressing.
  • Remove the film carefully to avoid scratching or damaging the coating.
  • Place your sublimation print onto the MDF.
  • Cover with silicone paper before pressing.
  • Silicone paper helps protect the substrate from direct heat, dust, dirt and press marks.
  • Avoid placing heat tape directly onto the MDF surface.
  • Avoid placing heat tape directly over the printed design.
  • Heat tape can leave marks on MDF.
  • To help prevent tape marks, place silicone paper over the design and MDF as a protective barrier before pressing.

Double-Sided Sublimation MDF

  • Press at 200°C for 50 seconds.
  • Use light to medium pressure.
  • Remove the clear protective film from the white sublimation surface before pressing.
  • Remove the film carefully to avoid scratching or damaging the coating.
  • Place your sublimation print onto the MDF.
  • Cover with silicone paper before pressing.
  • Silicone paper helps protect the substrate from direct heat, dust, dirt and press marks.
  • Avoid placing heat tape directly onto the MDF surface.
  • Avoid placing heat tape directly over the printed design.
  • Heat tape can leave marks on MDF.
  • To help prevent tape marks, place silicone paper over the design and MDF as a protective barrier before pressing.
  • After pressing the first side, remove the MDF from the heat press.
  • Allow the MDF to cool completely before pressing the second side.

Important Notes

  • If the MDF coating bubbles after pressing, immediately place the item under a smooth, heavy object while it cools.
  • You can use two reams of photo paper or another flat, smooth, non-textured weight.
  • Do not use anything textured, as it may mark the surface.
  • MDF keychains are daily-use items and may experience normal wear and tear over time.
  • MDF is made from compressed wood fibres and resin, so it can chip or crack if dropped, knocked, bent or handled roughly.
  • To help improve durability, you may apply a suitable protective coating or sealant after sublimation.
  • Handle and store the keychain with care to reduce the risk of chipping, cracking or damage.
  • Pressing times and temperatures are a guide only.
  • Results may vary depending on your heat press, pressure, sublimation paper, ink and environment.
  • Always test before doing bulk production.
