Overview

5mm sublimation tape is an essential consumable for every heat press and sublimation printing setup. Made from high-quality polyimide film with a heat-resistant silicone adhesive, this tape is designed to hold transfer paper securely in place during high-temperature press cycles. Whether you are working with ceramic mugs, polyester fabrics, phone cases, or flat substrates, this tape prevents paper movement that causes ghosting — the blurred double-image effect that ruins professional transfers.

The tape performs reliably at temperatures up to 250°C (482°F), making it suitable for all standard sublimation press temperatures. It applies with light finger pressure, stays put through the entire press cycle, and peels off cleanly afterwards with zero adhesive residue on the substrate or press platen.

Key Features

  • 5mm Width: Ideal for securing transfer paper edges on mugs, coasters, and small substrates without wasting tape
  • Heat Resistant: Withstands continuous temperatures up to 250°C — safe for all sublimation heat presses
  • Zero Residue: Silicone adhesive removes cleanly after heating, leaving no sticky marks on finished products
  • Polyimide Construction: Flexible and durable film conforms to curved and irregular surfaces
  • Ghost-Free Results: Prevents paper movement during pressing for sharp, clear image transfers
  • Hand Tearable: Tears cleanly by hand — no scissors or cutter needed

How to Use

  1. Position your sublimation transfer paper on the substrate (mug, fabric, phone case, etc.)
  2. Apply a strip of 5mm heat tape along the top and bottom edges of the paper to secure it
  3. For curved surfaces like mugs, wrap tape around the edges for extra grip
  4. Place in heat press and follow standard time and temperature settings for your substrate
  5. After pressing, peel off the tape while still warm — it removes cleanly without residue

Best For

  • Sublimation mug printing — wrap tape around top and bottom of transfer paper
  • Flat substrates — T-shirts, mouse pads, ceramic tiles, metal sheets, photo frames, aluminium inserts
  • Curved surfaces — phone cases, bottles, coasters
  • Electronics — PCB soldering masking and battery insulation
  • High-volume personalized gifting production lines

FAQs

Question Answer
What is 5mm sublimation tape used for? It is used to hold sublimation transfer paper in place on substrates during heat press printing, preventing ghosting and misalignment.
Does this tape leave residue after heat pressing? No. The silicone adhesive is designed for clean removal after heating — it peels off without leaving sticky marks on the substrate or press.
What is the maximum temperature this tape can withstand? It performs reliably up to 250°C (482°F), suitable for all standard sublimation press temperatures.
Is this the same as polyimide tape? Yes. This tape is made from polyimide film with a silicone adhesive — the same material commonly referred to as polyimide tape or Kapton tape.
Can I use this tape for electronics and PCB work? Yes. Its heat-resistant and insulating properties make it suitable for PCB soldering masking, battery insulation, and other high-temperature electronics applications.
How long is each roll? Please refer to the product variants for exact roll length available for this 5mm width.
Will this tape work on curved surfaces like mugs? Yes. The 5mm width and conformable polyimide material make it ideal for wrapping around curved mug surfaces to secure transfer paper edges.
