The company offers a variety of heat transfer products, including manual heat transfer machines, automatic heat transfer machines, and specialty heat presses, all equipped with superior pressure and temperature distribution, which allows for consistent quality and faster production.
Insta Graphic Systems was honored with two “Product of the Year” awards from the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association and the President’s “E” Award from the United States Secretary of Commerce, which recognizes businesses that have made outstanding contributions to the U.S. export expansion.
