Platen Cover #2 only works with DuoForgePRO

Suitable for Structured 6-Panel Hats (Richardson 112, Baseball Caps)

Get cleaner presses on structured 6-panel caps with a raised center seam. Platen Cover #2 is purpose-built for the DuoForgePRO to support the crown, level the seam area, and help you achieve smooth, vibrant transfers with consistent heat and contact—especially on popular styles like the Richardson 112 and classic baseball hats.

Use it with the seam protector. Every DuoForgePRO comes with a silicone seam protector that's thinner in the middle and thicker toward the ends. Lay it across the front of the cap with the thin middle on the seam: the seam settles into it and the thicker ends keep the sides of the patch in full contact. See which platen cover and patch protector to use.

Overview

6-panel hats often have a pronounced middle seam that can create gaps, lifted edges, or uneven contact during pressing. Platen Cover #2 features a contoured profile that stabilizes the front panel and improves platen-to-patch contact so your design presses flatter and more evenly.

Key Features

• 6-Panel Seam Support: Helps reduce seam-related lift and uneven adhesion

• DuoForgePRO Fit: Designed to match the DuoForgePRO platen geometry for reliable placement

• More Uniform Pressing: Promotes even heat and contact across the application zone

• Secure Hold: Surface helps keep hats in position for accurate alignment

• Heat-Resistant & Durable: Built for repeated production cycles

• Quick Swap: Easy changeover so you can move between hat types faster

3. Place the hat so the center seam sits evenly along the contoured area; smooth the crown.

4. Align your patch/transfer, then lay the seam protector across the front with its thin middle on the seam.

5. Press using your normal DuoForgePRO workflow.

6. Peel/finish according to your media instructions and let the hat cool before handling.
