How To Make Sublimation Air Fresheners
For this, you’ll need an air refresher, your design on sublimation paper, blow-out paper, heat tape, and of course, your heat press.
Print your design out using your Sublimation Printer; I go slightly bigger than my air freshener blank. Example: If they are 7 inches by by 2.7, I’m actually going to make them 7 inches by 3 inches. Print 1 or 2 depending on if you are doing a one-sided or two sided design.
Use a lint roller to remove an extra things your eye might miss. Then Pre-press your air freshener to remove any moisture from your blank/substrate. Remember to use your blow-out paper/ protective paper under your blank and on top of your blank so you are protecting your heat press.

Place your printed design onto your air freshener and secure it into place with your heat tape. Remember you want the image on top of the air freshener (closest to the heat press). Cover your air freshener with blow-out paper/ protective paper under your blank and on top of your blank, so you are protecting your heat press.
How long do you sublimation air fresheners?
Press for 45-60 seconds (it depends on your press) at 385°F-400°F with medium pressure. Once you have your desired results, document your time/temperature and pressure on your Time and Temperature Chart.

How To Scent Sublimation Air Freshener Blanks
Use a roller or sprayer to apply scents to your air freshener blanks, but only on the edge. This way you prevent blurring and smearing.
Tie on your string and place into bag. * This is when you can add fragrances if you choose to do so, however, I just place mine in bottles and the customer can pick their favorite scent.

It just takes a couple of taps or drops of scent in most cases. However, if you prefer a more pungent smell, feel free to add a couple more but keep in mind the scent is pretty strong at first.
What is Sublimation Air Freshener Oil?
There is no unique Sublimation Air Freshener Oil. You use fragrance oils.

Do you reverse images for air freshener?
No, you place the image face side down onto your air freshener and put it on the side that is “closest” to the heat press. Cover with blowout paper and press.
My Air Fresheners are bleeding when sprayed. What can I do?
Get fragrance oils from Amazon rather than essential oils. They still fade but last longer.
What Type of Fragrance Should I Use on Sublimation Air Fresheners?
Essential oils are one thing that you can use on your sublimation air fresheners. If you use essential oils, be sure they do not contain water because that will cause bleeding. Also, remember that they don’t have the wide variety of typical air freshener smells. However, it has been my experience that the fragrance doesn’t last that long.
So here are a few solutions:
Room Spray from Bath and Body Works (your customers can make that purchase to keep using. Spray one spray on both edges before you place it into your bag. (Black Cherry Merlot is my favorite smell.)
Fragrance oils also seem to not have a lasting smell for more than two days. However, if you purchase them from Lone Star Candle or Candle Science, those typically last longer. If you need some immediately, Joanns, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels sell them.
- Always tell your customers they can follow up with their essential oils, perfume/cologne, or the spray provided. I include a care card with all purchases. Need to purchase your own Air Freshener Care Card? I have you covered!
Has anyone had a problem with making the car air fresheners? I’ve used essential oil and the scent does not last but for a few days.
Get fragrance oils from Amazon rather than essential oils. They still fade but last longer than a few days.
What type of oils are recommended for air fresheners?
Wallflowers from Bath and Body Works
Strawberry Lemonade (Walmart)
Essence Oil
DoTerra
Soap and Candle Fragrance is less essential oil smelling and more like the typical smells, you would commonly see for vehicles. There are many fruity flavors, vanilla, mocha, and coffee smells.
Are your air fresheners smearing?
Try applying your fragrance to the sides of the air freshener instead of spraying the design.
How to Use Air Fresheners
- To use air fresheners remove outer packaging and hang it in your car, closet, or your home.
- Hang/Store in a dry place.
- Don’t obscure the driver’s visibility or view of instruments if used in a vehicle.
- Hang freely, and avoid contact with textiles, furnishings, and surfaces to prevent staining.
- Keep out of the reach of children.
- Once the smell has faded, reapply the fragrance to the edges of your air fresheners to avoid bleeding.
What are sublimation air fresheners made of?
Felt and specially coated fabric explicitly made for Sublimation.
Do the customers spray on their own scents, or do they pick one of yours?
Customers spray their own scents from the ones that I offer. That is what works best for me, plus then there is no “mixed” smells when storing air fresheners.
