5 Ways to Customize Christmas Ornaments | Digital Printing

There is a large market for Christmas ornaments with consumers looking to celebrate the Holiday. ColDesi has a wide range of digital printing technologies to get your business to tap into this market.

Factors to Consider When Customizing Christmas Ornaments with a Digital Printer

There are several factors to consider when customizing ornaments. Will you need to apply heat to transfer the design? If the answer is yes, you need to confirm if the customization technique you plan on using will work with your chosen ornament blank. Does the heat press support the ornament blank? For example, a round ornament will not work with a traditional heat press, but using a mug press allows for the proper coverage to apply the transfer. Will the design I have chosen work with the printer I’m using? Be sure to understand your printers’ limitations. For example, if you choose a design with white, be sure to use a printing technology that supports white.

2. Customizing Christmas Ornaments with Your Sublimation Printer

Sublimation is another fantastic way to customize ornaments. Sublimation requires specific materials that are either properly treated with a special polyester coating or 100% polyester fabric. After the design has been printed, it then can be pressed onto the ornament blank to create a finished product. With sublimation, the finished product has no hand feel.
