Re: Polymer Plate - Different size

Post by Justin »

I am looking at buying polymer sublimation plates (shallow) for a customer. The standard seems to be 8" and I've also seen 6" but this particular customer needs 10" plates.

I've been getting quotes to have them made, tooling costs are as you'd expect, £5k - £10k.

Just wondered if anyone had any contacts that might be able to help. This will be a good ongoing/growing order.

Do these have to be polymer or would white ceramic suffice?

Have to be polymer I'm afraid, food safe and unbreakable.

If you can let me know how many you would be interested in buying then I can quote a 10" polymer plate for you, but the cost of the tooling (cheaper than you've been quoted) will need to be absorbed over the volume.

Nope, 10" not available without investing in tooling so I knocked it on the head. If you need a few thousand let me know :-)

Spoke to as many manufacturers as I could find worldwide, I can get them made in the UK but costs too high, China far cheaper but a pain in the backside. What are you using to print plates?
