Ramp Up Drinkware Production with Your JP700 or Cricut Mug Press

Adding a new piece of equipment to your business can seem like a daunting task. You’ll ask yourself if it’s worth the investment and is it hard to use. But adding the right equipment can mean an easy expansion to your existing product offering and additional dollars to your bottom line.

When it comes to personalizing with sublimation, drinkware is king. From mugs to tumblers and wine glasses, it’s a fast, easy way to offer your customers a customized item that they’ll love. And a great way to maximize your sublimatable drinkware output is with a dedicated mug press.

If you’re looking to do small to mid-sized runs of custom drinkware, adding a mug press to your business makes a lot of sense. Most mug presses are economical, typically costing between $450 and $800, and take up just a small amount of counterspace. A mug press can turn out a single piece of drinkware faster than a traditional convection oven and shrink wrap, and most production mug presses come with additional attachments for unique items such as shot glasses and latte mugs.

Tested and Reliable

There are several mug presses on the market today that have been tested to work with a wide range of sublimation-ready drinkware. The JP700 Mug Press comes with seven included attachments, making it easy to press standard 11oz and 15oz mugs, tall and short tapered latte mugs, water bottles, and steins. The JP700 has digital temperature and time controls, which help you get consistent results time after time. It features a solid steel construction for extra durability and is a workhorse when it comes to drinkware production.

In addition to the JP700, the GeoKnight DK3 Mug Press is a great option for pressing drinkware. GeoKnight is one of the most trusted names in the heat press industry, and their mug press lives up to that reputation. With a fully digital timer and temperature controls as well as GeoKnight’s SuperCoil Microwinding technology, the DK3 will give you countless years of consistent, repeatable results.
