Why focus on Primark? Plenty of places on the High Street sell flip flops for far more and £10 - £15 is a norm for some. You can offer so much more than Primark and most of the other places that sell the more expensive ones. If you went arouind all the cheap shops to compare what else you print then you wouldn't be selling anything.

In fairness, they are far more than mousemats both in the amount of material used and in work to manufacture them. Also, they are produced in smaller runs which also knocks up price.

well i ordered a couple of pairs last week and the thickness of them is fantastic..much thicker than the cheap shop bought ones ..
looking forward to getting a few days off to produce myself a template ...(you do need one martin ...to see where the pics will line up on the foot )... and get mine printed up for my forthcoming holiday...
and wether or not you can see the print ...who cares ..
ve never seen what i want in a shop so i'm glad of the opportunity to finally make my own without having to buy 10 pairs from that other company

Yes, they sell on both the High Street and custom printed ones upto £15 easily. Havanaias are one of the big brands out there and £15/£20 is standard price. Some even £30. These are fairly plain and often based on flag colour like Brazil etc.

I printed up a pair of flip-flops yesterday. They came up a treat! Pretty much the same as you'd expect a mouse mat to look.

My Xpres heat press (Adkins 38x50 swing away) only just had enough clearance to press these - I think I tore a few ligaments getting the press closed!

When they were removed from the press, they started to curl a bit (too much pressure I thought) but as they cooled, they were fine.

Inserting the straps was a nightmare! Had to call Martin @ BMS for advice - I used a screwdriver head to push the straps through the holes, but I think the tool BMS sell would make life much easier.

Just uploaded a piccy!
