Microtec Foam Cover Pad

In short: The Microtec Foam Cover Pad is a heat press accessory from MicroTec USA that improves pressure distribution and surface protection when pressing raised emblems, patches, and thicker transfer materials. Sold at Roman Empire Print Supplies, it comes in 4" x 8" (1/8" or 1/4" thick) and 16" x 20" (1/8") sizes, and the rule of thumb is to use a thicker pad with thicker emblems or patches.

Foam Cover Pads are designed to improve results when pressing raised emblems, patches, and thicker transfer materials. They help create better pressure distribution and surface protection during the heat transfer process.

For best performance, use a thicker pad with thicker emblems or patches. The 4" x 8" size is ideal for applying small logos and detailed placements, while the larger 16" x 20" pad helps protect the full garment surface and reduce the risk of scorch marks.

Available pad thickness options for the 4" x 8" size:

• 1/8"
• 1/4"
