MEM 5″x5″ Two Platen Heat Press

Where can I buy or arrange local pickup for the MEM 5"x5" Two Platen Press locally?

You can securely place your order online and choose convenient local pickup at either the Lawson Screen & Digital Products corporate headquarters in St. Louis, MO (Penrose Street) or our Atlanta area branch in Marietta, GA (Cobb Industrial Drive). Local pickup can also be coordinated through our satellite offices in Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.

Does this small-format heat press require an external air compressor?

Yes. Because it uses an automated pneumatic drive system to ensure highly consistent, repeatable clamping pressure, a separate external air compressor is required (not included). Your shop's compressor must meet or exceed the minimum requirement of a 1.5 HP motor with an 8-gallon storage tank to cycle the pneumatic cylinders smoothly.

What exact platen sizes are included with this dual-station setup?

Out of the box, the machine features two pre-installed primary platens measuring approximately 5.75" x 5.75", which are perfect for standard chest pockets and neck labels. For even greater adaptability with smaller items, the kit also includes two swap-out 4" x 4" platens at no additional charge.

How do the integrated laser guides improve production speeds?

When handling small applications like neck tags or sleeve branding, a couple of millimeters off-center will ruin a garment. The built-in laser alignment system projects clear, highly visible crosshairs onto the loading beds. This allows your operators to position shirts and transfers with instant visual confirmation, drastically accelerating loading speeds and cutting down on misprint waste.

What are the utility and electrical requirements for workspace integration?

Unlike large commercial shuttle lines that require specialized industrial utility rewiring, this compact press is highly compatible with basic shop setups. It runs smoothly on standard 110V AC power and plugs right into common household or workshop electrical outlets.

Are crating and freight shipping fees included in the baseline online price?

No. Because this industrial machine is shipped via heavy freight on a pallet with a dedicated liftgate for safe unloading, standard carrier parcel rates do not apply. Shipping, crating, and packaging fees are not included in the baseline price and will not reflect in your initial online cart total. A Lawson representative will contact you directly following your purchase to provide a final customized freight quote.

What type of manufacturer warranty covers this MEM pneumatic press?

To ensure total confidence when adding this high-efficiency automation to your custom t-shirt line, the machine comes backed by an official 90-Day Limited Warranty covering components and structural parts against factory defects.

Can I finance the MEM 5"x5" Two Platen Heat Press?

Yes! If you are expanding a high-volume direct-to-film fulfillment operation, launching a custom private-label brand, or bundling your press with a new DTF printer system, commercial equipment financing options are available to protect your cash flow. You can apply quickly and securely via our Lawson financing page.
