Build your custom-cap workflow

Hotronix MAXX® 250 Cap Heat Press

Add a dedicated station for heat-applied cap graphics and patches with the American-made MAXX 250 Cap. Its curved platen, cap hold-down device and digital time and temperature controls help you position headwear and repeat the application settings required by your decoration.

The updated white MAXX 250 design suits a starter headwear business, an additional shop station or a mobile decorating setup with a suitable work surface and power supply. At 30 lb actual machine weight, it is distinct from the larger flat-platen MAXX 250 Clam family.

Download the current operator manual for setup, operation and maintenance. Test the cap, decoration and application settings together before beginning a production run.

Hold the cap in position while you decorate

Load the cap onto the curved lower platen and use the hold-down device to help create a smooth application surface. Adjust pressure using the under-the-center pressure control, then set time and temperature to the decoration supplier's requirements.

Cap profiles, seams and materials vary. Select an appropriate lower platen and artwork size so the entire decoration receives suitable support and pressure. A flat garment press and a curved cap press are not interchangeable for every project.

Heat-applied patches require a compatible adhesive backing. This press does not add adhesive to a patch or make every cap fabric suitable for heat application.

Hold the cap in position while you decorate

Digital settings with manual control

  • Digital time and temperature controls for repeatable setup.
  • Under-the-center manual pressure adjustment for the cap and decoration being used.
  • Interchangeable lower platens to accommodate different cap shapes; additional platens sold separately.
  • Cast-in tubular heating and powder-coated construction.
  • Made in the USA, with a lifetime heating-element warranty and 1-year coverage on other parts, subject to manufacturer terms.

This is not the Hotronix Auto Cap or 360 IQ press. MAXX 250 Cap operation is manual, and you must open the press when the application time ends.

MAXX 250 Cap: questions before you buy

What can I apply with this cap press?

Use compatible heat transfers, heat transfer vinyl or heat-applied patches that fit the selected platen and cap. Match the decoration supplier's time, temperature, pressure and peel instructions to the cap material.

Does it automatically open?

No. MAXX 250 Cap is manually operated. The digital timer does not turn it into an Auto Open press.

Will every cap fit the same platen?

No. Cap profile, seams and construction affect fit. Interchangeable lower platens provide options, but additional platens are sold separately and should be selected for the cap and decoration.

What should I know about shipping?

Ground shipping is calculated at checkout for eligible destinations and is not included in the displayed product price. The packaged shipping weight is 41 lb; the machine itself weighs 30 lb. Confirm delivery timing with GPI before committing to an event or deadline.

Can I use it for full-size shirt graphics?

This is a curved cap press, not a flat garment press. For T-shirt and other flat-format applications, compare the MAXX 250 Clam Heat Press sizes.

Ask GPI about your cap style, platen fit and voltage requirements.

Know before you buy

Cap and decoration fit: Choose a lower platen suited to the cap profile and artwork. Confirm material heat tolerance and transfer or patch compatibility before production. Additional cap platens are sold separately.
