Promotional and customized items are huge! They get the word out and are a great way to say thank you to your clients or wish someone a happy birthday. They are also great for unique fund raisers for schools.
DYE SUBLIMATION This process enables me to print one item if needed, so NO MINIMUMS! Mugs, iPhone cases, drink koozies, mouse pads - even flip-flops - I can print on it. I use dye-sublimation that is a quality print that holds up to just about everything. I can also print on hats, key chains and do awards for any event. This is best for photos and any graphic like logos. Most items start with a white background because the machine doesn't have white ink.
PAD PRINTING Have you ever tried to buy a small quantity of a promotional item like pens? Most places want 500 minimum orders, if you only want 50, I can do it. There will be a set up fee and I can match inks for an additional cost, but the cost outweighs you being stuck with 400 more pens than you need. This is mostly used for single color, higher quantity items.
