Ones I needed were much more shallow than these, almost flat....and have to be polymer I'm afraid....but thanks for the update

And I would be interested too - I was after something similar before Christmas (and managed to persuade customer to allow me to do something else instead) but I would still be interested if, as Paul says, the blanks were not too costly and could be bought in small quantities. Probably for printing all over rather than just the middle. I read previous threads about plates where the conclusion was nobody wanted them, which is why the supply in the UK is limited!

Hi Justin,
I have been getting quotes for 10" Polymer Plates. I wondered if you are interested in ordering a supply and help split costs with me?
I am waiting on a couple of quotes from China also.
I noticed that BMS said he might be able to get a better deal, so if you are interested, I will see if he wants to divide by 3 a supply also.
I am in the U.S. but I think we could work out logistics.

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.

Not looking to pursue this at the moment, customer not willing to make the required commitment and questions over required machinery.
