The technique used in making the heat pressed cap might seem to be a simple one, but the fact is that a lot of attention and detail has to be included in making a perfect one. The end product involves just a couple of steps that has to be done with perfection. You can create just anything you would like to appear on your cap, provided the image fits the cap perfectly. The basic tool used in this process is the heat press machine that can withstand high temperatures and comes with a small bed where the cap needs to be placed and a lever holds it tightly ensuring that the images is heat pressed exactly where it is intended to. Next, the image that is taken on a heat resistant paper is carefully placed on the cap and heat is applied on to it. After a few seconds when the press is removed, you find your desired imaged neatly applied on to the cap.
