How to sublimate on paper bags, from kraft bags to gift bags to cake boxes

[@TammySwan-jc3po]

You guys are awesome! This is the first of our videos I have watched. It was also the first one I clicked to try to find out how to sublimate on craft bags. I love that you guys are very naturally doing your video. You are not pretending to be pros but you are informative in the steps you are taking to learn as you go. I also love that you have taught me something else, (To Line my press with paper.) I keep screwing up my stuff because of bleed throughs. Thank you guys! You definitely have a new follower :)

[@themakershq]

Oh wow Tammy, thank you for such an awesome comment!!! I'm very happy that you found the video helpful and that you found a tip for your machine! We wish you lots of cool projects this year! 😃

[@soquin2quinso115]

I love the vintage look of the brown bag 😊

[@themakershq]

Thank you, us too! That's actually one of our favorite choices for packaging so it's interesting to see what it looks like sublimated 😄

[@miltonjidecarew3102]

Thanks for the education on how to print sublimation on paper bags. My question is,where do you print sublimation paper,and what paper to use?

[@eddierangel9132]

I was thinking I made a mistake when I converted my Epson Eco Tan to Sublimation printer but you have given me hope!

[@themakershq]

OMG that's so nice, we're glad!!! And if you ever have suggestions of something you'd like us try if we can find it here in Buenos Aires we'll keep it in mind!!!

[@eddierangel9132]

I absolutely love the yellow bag!

[@themakershq]

Right??? And months later it still looks great!!

[@tiffanylee3901]

If your substrate are not white the colors will change, Google s sublimation chart . Love it 😍

[@themakershq]

OOOhhhhh, we just googled the sublimation chart 😲, we knew that the substrates that aren't white would change but it's a great reference for having an idea of what it will look like before even doing the sublimation!!! Thank you for the love and for the great advice!!!!!

Queen you are STUNNING 😍

[@themakershq]

[@phoebescott1327]

You are a gorgeous couple and I love your video!!

[@themakershq]

Oh that's very sweet, thank you so much !!!

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Awesome, I’ll try this with my logo, for my hand delivered orders, hope it works for me🤣🙏🏽

[@themakershq]

YES! Glad it could be useful, hope it works too!!!! 😃😀

[@lisarose6667]

Wow…loving the bags and boxes. Are you using sublimation paper? Ty

[@themakershq]

Thank you and yes we are!

[@jmeredithD2]

When doing items like this do you have to spray something like poly spray on them like some shirts or does the sublimate ink bond anyways? newbie question I guess

[@themakershq]

Hi James, thanks for your comment! No spray was required for these items. We saw that the sublimation adheres better on items that have a gloss finish. We also noticed that the colors that we used and the actual design - ie full color vs one color or a photo vs a logo - made a huge difference in how clear the image came out

[@saineymarong8131]

what type of transfer paper do you guys used

[@themakershq]

Thank you for your comment!! i wish i could answer that but we don't own a printer at the moment so we work with a local printing company and we don't know what paper they use.

[@marieskillings7138]

the little pink bag maybe the temp was too hot on the brown bag maybe the color should be darker

[@themakershq]

Yes for the pink bag it was way too hot!!! It melted into a hard piece of plastic 🤭🤣 The brown paper bag, you're right, I think we should have left it longer

[@marieskillings7138]

Maybe put a piece of cardboard on the inside so it wouldn’t bleed to the other side but truly beautiful

[@themakershq]

YES! Now that we have a bit more experience, we are putting paper inside almost everything to make sure! Thank you so much for the awesome comments!!!!

[@eddierangel9132]

Hola Amigos!

[@themakershq]

Hola amigo!!

[@marythomas2357]

Not sure if anyone caught your reference to using wax paper to cover your project and machine it’s not wax paper you want to use (that would melt) but parchment paper

[@themakershq]

oh yes you're right, thank you!

[@حقائقعبرالعصور]

Hi, what the printer & paper that you used ?

[@themakershq]

we just started so we send it to a printer store and we don't know what they use. What we know is that epson printers are good.

[@SharoninKentucky]

Use freezer paper instead of wax paper because it will melt the wax.

[@themakershq]

Oh, thank you for your suggestion!! We'll buy some freezer paper for the next video

[@YesMyOpinionMatters]

Thank you for the video but the music made it hard to hear what you were saying?

[@themakershq]

Oh I'm sorry about that! It was one of our first videos so we weren't that good with music yet! We'll be doing another paper bag video at some point, hopefully that will be more helpful!

[@YesMyOpinionMatters]

It was a nice video. It was just hard to hear because I typically watch KZbin with earbuds and all the videos with music playing when someone is talking seems to be amplified. So I took the earbuds out and still had a hard time hearing your voices. Just letting you know from the receiver end of your video. But really did enjoy watching.

[@tiffanylee3901]

Love it, try 60 sec your leaving it on too long

[@themakershq]

Perfect, we'll try for that long next time!!! Thank you!!!
