Hi All newbie here,
My name is neil and im a railway photographer from bolton, ive been using heat presses for a while and mostly order all our bits n pieces from bms, but there is something im after that i cant seem to find anywhere.
If you go to alot of the steam railways there is a company that supplies them with coasters that print logos onto rectangular coasters. These would be brilliant for all our railway images but i cant find them anywhere. has anyone seen them anywhere
thanks
Neil

Are these the wooden ones, but in a rectangular format? I think these are available, but have never been asked for them before so we don't hold them in stock. I think (from memory) that these may be 112mm x 94mm. They would be subject to a minimum of 100 (price break on 501+) but I'll have to check the prices when I'm back in the office.

I could be interested in these, too. I didn't know they were available.
I'm almost always being asked to put rectangular photos onto coasters because that's how cameras take pictures. If there's enough background, it easy enough to crop - but that's invariably not the case.
I'll be interested in prices.

Up to 500 these will be 82p +vat and on 501+ they drop by 2p! They are sized 110mm x 95mm. Available with cork/ baize but this adds 24p per item (min 100 items)

Why are they so much more expensive than your regular coasters?

Thanks for the figures, will have to work out the costings now, they are quite expensive, not that im saying your expensive martin just when you work out what i sell coasters for it will put the price up, for custom jobs like your picture on etc its a good price, but we mass produce and retail so it gets pretty dear with low steady profits

Because they are bigger and the suppliers charge more.
