Frequently asked questions
Find answers to common queries about our services, pricing, and support to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
Is DuoForge™ compatible with all Richardson hat styles?
Yes — DuoForge’s engineered curvature was designed to align perfectly with popular Richardson models such as 112, 115, 168, and similar structured hats.
What makes dual platen heat important?
Independent top and bottom heating allows precise control for materials like thick leatherette patches, PVC, leather patches, embroidery, and any other thick patches - without burning or imprinting the hat.
How does the automatic press cycle work?
Set your temperatures and timer, load the hat, and press start. DuoForge closes on its own, presses with consistent pressure, and opens automatically when the timer ends.
Does the press leave marks or creases on hats?
No — the adaptive silicone bottom platen molds to the hat’s shape, preventing creases, pressure lines, or overheating.
Can DuoForge™ be used in mobile or event-based setups?
Absolutely. Its lightweight, compact build makes it ideal for hat bars, markets, pop-ups, or any creator on the move.
