STAHLS Unveils the MerchMaker Heat Press to Empower Print Entrepreneurs Globally
March 2026 – STAHLS UK today announced the launch of the MerchMaker Heat Press, a compact and professional-grade solution designed to revolutionise the way creators and print entrepreneurs produce custom merchandise.
Available immediately across the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States, this innovative machine addresses the growing demand for accessible, high-quality garment decoration tools that support sustainable and scalable business growth.
The print and merchandise industry is experiencing a rapid shift, with independent creators and side-hustlers requiring reliable equipment to scale their businesses sustainably.
By enabling local, on-demand production, the device helps reduce textile waste and carbon emissions associated with mass manufacturing, aligning with the industry's urgent need for more ethical practices.
Available in two distinct platen sizes to suit various workspace requirements, the machine features a lightweight yet robust design. Users benefit from a pull-out lower platen, which ensures a safer and easier garment loading process.
This humane touch in ergonomic design prioritises operator well-being, reducing the risk of burns and fatigue during long production runs and allowing creators to focus on their craft.
Furthermore, the MerchMaker removes the guesswork from custom apparel creation.
It boasts a fast heat-up time alongside precise temperature and pressure controls. Operators can monitor and adjust their settings through an intuitive LCD display, ensuring total control and consistency across every press.
This technological advancement empowers users to turn their creative ideas into steady income and transform a passion into a fully realised, professional brand.
