Why You Need a Cover for Your HTVRont Auto Heat Press Pressing Pad – Plus a Simple DIY Tutorial!
If you're a crafter or small business owner using the HTVRont Auto Heat Press, you know how important safety and precision are during heat pressing projects. One small oversight—like forgetting to cover the pressing pad—can result in a ruined design, a scorched pad, or worse, a nasty burn.
That’s why I highly recommend sewing a custom pressing pad cover using a Teflon sheet. It’s a simple upgrade that adds protection, consistency, and peace of mind to your heat pressing routine.

Why Use a Pressing Pad Cover?
Here’s what makes a Teflon-sewn pressing pad cover so essential:
-
Protects the pad: The heat press pad is prone to wear, staining, and damage over time. A cover shields it from residue, ink, and direct heat.
-
Prevents burns: A securely attached Teflon cover reduces shifting or slipping, so you won’t accidentally touch hot surfaces.
-
Makes cleanup easier: Teflon is heat-resistant and non-stick, so materials won’t melt or bond to your pad.
-
Ensures even pressure: A stable, non-slipping surface helps keep your transfers centered and prevents design distortion.
-
It’s permanent: Once sewn and fitted, you won’t have to worry about realigning the sheet each time you use your press.
