heart handle comes at a high premium 1.95 per cup

THanks for the link, a very interesting look around has me slightly confused.
I thought that printing onto metal required a treated metal but their site reads that some substrates dont have to have any special coatings.
I think I will give them a ring and get un-confused.

Pricing is a bit strange - no discount for buying various box amounts - same price for 36 x 10oz mugs as it is for 180 x 10oz mugs.

And its MUGS

But cardman, i dont think thats too much to pay for something you can sell at a premium and be a little different to everyone else - or am i missing something, for a wedding or valentines day people would pay a premium to have somthing that actually represents love rather than a bog standard mug with a heart slapped on it

Well I rang them as I am interested in their transfer paper for non treated glass and metal. Got an answer phone message which asked me to leave details and they will call me back.
Look forward to hearing from them.

The "heart handle mug" used to be available from several suppliers, but in those days they came in pairs:



Like just about all non-standard products in this industry here in the UK, they stayed around just long enough for the suppliers to sell their initial stock to us, and then supplies dried up. If supplies can't be maintained in the long term, what's the point in putting in the effort to get the end customer interested in the first place?

Maybe they don't check their answerphone that often
