Hi - does anyone know if you can still get the Sublisoft babygros anywhere? Transfer Press has the large size but not the medium or small anymore.
Do these still exist?
Thanks.

They've been really popular for us too and now we're out of medium and small and can't find them anywhere. Are they still being made do you know?

Last time I spoke to Greame at TP his original supplier had gone but he was trying to source others, guess he hasn't had much joy

The bizarre thing about this was that when we tried to re-order these from the SubliSoft distributor they said they didn't sell them (not anymore, just didn't sell them!). Bizarre as they have the SubliSoft label in them, but the UK distributor either couldn't be bothered with them anymore or didn't know what they had sold in the past. Wierd.

It is really strange Martin?
Do you know if anyone else is looking to do them?
To be honest - I would say that babygrows would be (and is if you can get hold of them) a very popular product as babies are still coming. But, it seems that most are changing to iPhone covers and iPad cases when there's an obvious market here for a product that nobody can get hold of.
The amount of times I have been asked to put vinyl/flex onto a babygrow when I could be selling them a full colour printed one ........
Is this something you have looked into Martin - and do you think the gap will be filled anytime soon?

I don't know to be honest. There were mixed views on the baby grows when we did them. They felt really good and printed up well, but what stopped them selling in reasonable volume was the polyester blend. Parents wanted soft cotton, not polyester for their little ones.
I don't know of an alternative, but it isn't something that I've looked into deeply in the past 2 or 3 years. We were left with some of the 18-30 month size for ages and had mixed feelings about re-stocking them. I thought someone said that Graeme at Transfer Press was looking into these??

I think everybody is left with 18-30mths size
I'll ring Graeme tomorrow and see if there's any update

As a few people here were wanting them, I thought about trying to source some from China, but looking on Alibaba I couldn't find any poly baby grows. Not sure if it's a language thing, but tried a few different word combinations but still didn't turn up any products.

Just spoke to Sue at Transfer Press. Didn't realise they had brought in sleeveless ones which they have in small and medium. No source for the sleeved ones I'm afraid.
