Mug Wraps/Clamps. Where?

[Flash]

Hi Guy's,
I'm in the market for Mug Wraps/Clamps where do you guy's recommend I get these? They are for my recently aquired Asda Smartprice Mugs which measure 82mm Diameter Max.
Thanks again in advance.

We just bought 6 and they're very well made.

Not sure if BMS sell them but worth a try as they give good support to the forum.

Thanks John,
I like the look of these clamps. BMS do stock clamps but they apper to have a bolt adjustment 'thingy' which to the unqualified looks a bit fiddly.

thetransferpress clamps look nice indid but they very chunky. I used to used them. the other wraps from bms web site r called a "cactus" wrap. cheaper and I think you can stick more of them in to on oven
here is a video how to use them:

That video from Conde has put me off Cactus wraps and no mistake.

Faffing about with a wrench to tighten the clamps? Sorry, life's too short. Sometime ago I frequented a US dye-sub forum and everyone was raving about Cactus wraps. I've no doubt they do the job, but that bolt/wrench affair is for the birds.

I have two different styles of wraps here and the ones I prefer are the ones linked to at the TransferPress (got mine from subli-nation some time ago because the TP won't take payment over their website).

The other type is the ones I started out with from Revolution Transfers: http://www.revolutiontransfers.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=MUG-LITE Like the TP ones, these are ones that you set first and then use the spring/clamp affair for subsequent presses. There's no need to wave wrenches or screwdrivers or half a toolbox around just to put the wrap on a mug.

The wraps from Revolution aren't as good as the others, but they do the job if you pay attention to what you're doing. The disadvantage with these is that (like the Cactus ones, apparently), the clamp goes through the handle - so if you have a small handle on the mug, or a shaped one (like China Windsor) then the handle will stop the clamp going through. Big design flaw.

Thanks JSR, useful post. Thank you
