This type of conversation often comes up - the idea of a co-op buy. If you're going to club together to buy a few hundred of the designs then yes it will make sense, but the costs of shipping etc make small orders less viable. Adam/ Paul - contact that supplier and see what they have to offer. There's nothing lost in asking for prices on small quantities. You'll be quoted for shipping as well, but bear in mind duty, vat, agency fees etc and a small quantity will have to come by air freight (adding considerably to the cost as these will be heavy!). Once you get to sizeable volumes (or weight) then they can come by sea freight which will reduce the costs. Let us know how you get on.

As a comparison Martin, how much are you looking to sell them for?

I am sure it will be blank price + everything that martin pointed as vat, custom taxes, P&P + profit.


Also I would be interested in Polymer Mug. any suppliers looked in to that yet?? great for kids etc.

I don't have this to hand, but will post back as soon as I have some information.

What sizes do you have prices for? My supplier isn't the same as the one you pointed to, so likewise it would be good to compare. If you'd prefer to pm details then that's fine.

Do you mean the plastic mugs? I think there is a supplier in Spain that offers these, but don't have the details of who they are. You need a metal insert to go inside the plastic mug to print these without distorting the cylindrical shape of the mug. From memory I think we've been asked about 3 or 4 times for these in the last 5 or so years - so not overly popular (and they are expensive - in the same ball park figure as ceramic/ Wow mugs)

from about 3-5 dollars so it is to dear in my opinion after you add taxes etc. so I imagine after you add your profit we would have to pay £££.

Martin. Please send me your email address via PM so i will forward you the price list.


but intereste thing is that plastic cups if you order smallest ammount whitch is 250+ it will cost you $1.25. is not that bad I think...
