FALCON SA Hands Over Design Competition Heat Press Prize
Competition winner Elzana O’Kelly Kritzinger with Thomas Smith, Falcon SA’s Regional Sales Manager: Gauteng.

Elzana O’Kelly Kritzinger collected her STAHLS’ Hot Berry heat press, which, along with vouchers, was up for grabs for entrants who submitted the best original ’Graphics, Print and Sign’ themed T-shirt design for the FALCON SA T-shirt Design competition.

People could vote on social media for their favourite design, as well as on the FALCON SA stand at last year’s Graphics, Print and Sign expo, held at Emperors Palace Convention Centre from 5-7 October.

O’Kelly Kritzinger won the heat press as well as consumables to go with it. O’Kelly Kritzinger, on commenting on the machine’s benefits, said the heat plate is regulated, so there won’t be any irregularities in her products when pressed.

‘It’s smaller and more compact. I don’t have a lot of space, so that will be a space-saver,’ she added, ‘The release is also more manageable, whereas my current heat press is very stiff to open up. From what I’ve read online, it’s an excellent product. I cannot wait to test it out, it is life-changing.’

Thomas Smith, FALCON SA’s Regional Sales Manager, Gauteng, said, ’The Hot Berry is an entry-level heat press. O’Kelly Kritzinger is starting a small business, so it’s an honour for us to assist her. Before she entered the competition, she was outsourcing work, and now she is doing it on her own. It’s a small and robust machine that she can use from her office or at home, and now she can start her own business.’

On commenting on her winning design, O’Kelly Kritzinger said, ‘I used the CMYK colours and my imagination. The ‘Falcon’ design was very important for me to put in. I designed what I think they wanted.

‘I got a lot of confidence from the competition. There are a lot of projects for my business that are coming, such as from larger businesses, like a gym – for which all their personal trainers’ t-shirts I design.’

‘It was tough competition,’ said Smith. ‘The winner was chosen by the public and not FALCON SA as a business, so that says a lot. Well done to O’Kelly Kritzinger, I think it was a great design.’

‘The press is perfect for stay-at-home moms, because there is a market for that,’ concluded Smith. ‘We will also be assisting O’Kelly Kritzinger with a few STAHLS’ materials such as heat transfer vinyls in different colours, namely flexi and sports film. We will give her both to try out and see what works best for her and the type of work she is doing.’

Additional features include a 30 x 23cm non-stick coated heating plate, the temperature is adjustable up to 221 degrees Celsius, and it features a digital setting and approximately 1cm silicone rubber mat on the base platen, to name a few.
