Questions & Answers

Where can I buy or arrange local pickup for MEM Heat Press Platens 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.

Which specific heat press models can accept these interchangeable platens?

These solid aluminum lower tables are engineered specifically to fit MEM pneumatic machinery series, including the high-capacity MEM TQ-4050 Semi-Auto Dual Station Press and their automated small-format pneumatic lines. They utilize matching mounting configurations to guarantee a perfect alignment alignment under the heat head.

What specialized platen sizes can I choose from for my shop?

To handle everything from tiny brand labels to long sportswear panels, this interchangeable collection offers multiple physical footprints:

  • Small Accent Formats: 4" x 4" Pocket/Tag Platen and 5" x 5" Label Platen
  • Specialty Long Geometries: 4.7" x 17.7" (12x45cm) Sleeve & Pant Leg Platen
  • Mid-Size Standard Formats: 11.8" x 15" (30x38cm) Youth/Tote Platen

Why does my shop need smaller lower platens if I already have a Teflon wrap pillow?

While Teflon pillows help cushion minor seam transitions on manual presses, they cannot match the unyielding, rock-solid structural stability of a solid aluminum plate under high pneumatic pressure. A dedicated smaller MEM specialty platen completely isolates the target workspace, ensuring that up to 120 PSI of air-operated pressure is driven strictly into the transfer graphic without flexing or shifting.

Do these replacement platens include the high-temperature silicone face pad?

Yes! Every factory-grade MEM lower platen assembly comes fully equipped and pre-layered with a premium, high-temperature resilient silicone rubber pad. This ensures your replacement hardware is completely ready to mount onto your machine frame and run production straight out of the box.

Can I finance my shop's equipment upgrades and production accessories?

Yes! If you are bundling multiple interchangeable platens with a brand-new automatic direct-to-film system, a rolling machine floor stand, or a new dual-station pneumatic press, commercial equipment leasing options are available. You can apply quickly and securely via our Lawson financing page.

Platens for MEM Heat Presses (Commercial Specialty Interchangeable Platens)

Are you struggling to print cleanly over thick hoodie seams, toddler clothes, bulky zippers, or jacket buttons? Platens for MEM Heat Presses are commercial-grade, heavy-duty interchangeable lower tables engineered by MEM. Designed explicitly to maximize the versatility of your pneumatic machinery, these USA-distributed solid aluminum platens allow your custom print shop to swap lower beds quickly—giving you the exact physical profile needed to isolate printable zones and eliminate costly misprints.

The primary manufacturing advantage of these MEM Heat Press Platens is their ability to bypass uneven contact surfaces entirely. Forcing an entire garment onto a standard 16" x 20" table exposes thick seams or collar lines to the upper heat element, which creates uneven pressure gaps and causes transfer failure. By swapping to a smaller, specialized lower platen, you lift only the targeted fabric area to the heat head while letting the rest of the garment drape safely out of the way. Highly optimized for high-volume batches of DTF transfers, sublimation blanks, screen printed transfers, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), and embroidered patches, these rugged aluminum plates guarantee absolute flat-surface down-force uniformity.

Available in multiple task-specific configurations—including long sleeve, pocket, and youth formats—these premium workshop additions provide a tool-free path to scaling up your custom apparel lines.

📍 Local Pickup Available: Skip the shipping fees! In-store local pickup is available at our St. Louis, MO (HQ) and Atlanta / Marietta, GA hubs. If the item is in stock, your order can be ready for pickup quickly—simply check local availability or contact us to confirm before heading over.
