Who is Gideon Sundback? Unzip Your Imagination with Heat Printing Video

24 Apr

Our video production manager, Joe Kosinski visited Google this morning and found the “Google doodle” of a zipper that can be clicked and unzipped to reveal search results about Gideon Sundback, the inventor of the modern-day zipper.

Since the zipper is essential in the construction of many apparel types we thought, why not come up with a creative little video showcasing a zip up garment being decorated to promote apparel customization.

I hope you enjoy the video and get a chance to share it today to promote the category of heat printing and how it empowers individuals to create exactly what they want, even if it’s just one garment like in this video!  

For those of us in the technical details of being a heat printing shop, we created this garment with heat transfer film and simply inserted a heat printing pillow inside of the garment so that the zipper would sink into the pillow upon application allowing for an accurate, even pressure and outstanding durability.

Thanks for reading and do go over to Google.com and Unzip the homepage to learn more about Gideon Sundback and the invention of the zipper.
