From Wrap to Reuse: Transform Your Holiday Gifts with Artesprix Sublimation Tags

Make your holidays more meaningful and more sustainable with Artesprix Iron-on-Ink! This season, turn your gift wrap into a creative moment all its own with custom sublimation tags that can be reused year after year. Whether you’re personalizing presents for family, adding a handmade touch to teacher gifts, or creating a full matching gift-wrap theme, these durable sublimation tags bring beauty, personality, and purpose to every package.

With a few simple supplies, you can design tags that become keepsakes, long after the wrapping paper is gone.

What is Artesprix Iron-on-Ink?

Artesprix Iron-on-Ink is sublimation ink that lets you design on paper, then use heat (like an iron or heat press) to make your drawing magically move from the paper onto something else, like a bag, coaster, or shirt. Once it’s on there, it’s permanent! This process is known as sublimation, and before Artesprix, you needed fancy equipment to experience this level of personalization, but not anymore! 

Supplies, What You'll Need:

Artesprix Iron-on-Ink : Specially formulated Ink that is designed to be used with heat to permanently personalize different materials and objects.

Sublimation Blank : An item that is marketed and manufactured for sublimation, like a mug or coaster. Or an item that has a high polyester fabric count, 60% or more, 100% is best.

Heat Source : If using a small sublimation blank, a handheld heat source is sufficient. If using a larger blank like a t-shirt or tote bag, best practice calls for a heat press. 

Heat Tape : Used to secure design to sublimation blank before pressing. Without heat tape you risk your design moving during the sublimation process which causes a ghosting affect (AKA double image).  

Protective Paper : An essential tool used to protect work surfaces from "dye-migration". Artesprix inks are powerful, they will go right through the copy paper and onto another surface when heated up. Use Protective Paper on the outside of your project to keep your iron and mat clear from ink marks.
