Couldn't load pickup availability
Perfect Curvature Engineering
Designed to seamlessly fit all Richardson hat styles — 112, 115, 168, and more.
The platen curvature is meticulously engineered to match the natural arc of premium caps, ensuring a flawless, uniform press every time.
Dual Heat. Dual Control. Total Consistency.
Independent top and bottom platen temperature control delivers heat exactly where you need it.
Perfect pressure. Zero guesswork. Every press is production-grade.
100% Automatic Operation
Just load, set, and let it work.
The DuoForge closes and opens automatically at the pre-set time, transforming speed and workflow efficiency — no manual effort, no mistiming, no fatigue.
Lightweight. Ultra-Compact. Ready for Anywhere.
The DuoForge is engineered for maximum portability without compromising performance. Weighing only 8 lbs, it is exceptionally lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport, set up, and store.
Designed specifically for mobility, the DuoForge is an ideal solution for hat bars, pop-up shops, craft fairs, live events, and on-site customization. Its small footprint allows it to fit comfortably on limited workspaces while still delivering consistent dual-heat performance.
Whether you’re customizing hats at events or running a mobile setup, the DuoForge offers professional results in a compact, travel-friendly form.
Adaptive Silicone Platen
The bottom silicone platen molds itself to any hat shape, creating a strong, permanent press while protecting the fabric from creases, imprints, or overheating.
⚠️ Important Purchase Information
Because this machine is offered at a special introductory rate, other promotions, coupon codes, or discounts do not apply.
Additionally, this product is not eligible for free shipping due to its size and weight.
The DuoForge isn’t your average press, and its purchase process isn’t either. Occasionally, a storewide discount or shipping promo might try to slip through. If that happens, we’ll contact you directly to make sure your order reflects the correct total. Transparency is part of our craftsmanship.
📦 Warranty & Packaging Notice
Please keep the original box and protective packaging — they’re required for any warranty service or return shipping.
If a replacement box is needed later, a $60 repackaging fee will apply.
Keeping your original materials ensures the machine’s safety and full warranty coverage.
Operating Instructions
✅ Recommended Add-On: Press Guard Patch Protector (Best Results + Cleaner Presses)
To get the cleanest finish and protect both your patch surface and platens over time, we highly recommend pairing the DuoForge with our Press Guard Patch Protector.
Why it’s worth it:
-
Prevents surface marks & shine on leatherette, printed, or specialty patches
-
Adds a protective barrier between the patch and platen, helping keep your press cleaner
-
More consistent results on detailed textures, inks, and coated materials
-
Great for high-volume production where residue build-up can happen faster
How to use:
Place the Press Guard directly over the patch before pressing. That’s it — same workflow, better protection, and a more polished final look.
