Re: Key Rings

Post by Justin »

I'm looking at changing from the unisub key rings to metal ones. I see that Xpres stock them
[url="http://www.xpres.co.uk/shoppingcart/aca ... Rings.html]http://www.xpres.co.uk/shoppingcart/aca ... Rings.html[/url] and also Transfer Press
[url="http://www.thetransferpress.co.uk/acata ... rings.html]http://www.thetransferpress.co.uk/acata ... rings.html[/url] and wondered if anyone had tried either supplier for these?

Not sure if the Xpres ones would hang right when on your keys, maybe the TP ones would be better?

What colour metals print best? Not printed metal for a long time.

We ordered some metal key rings off BMS and are impressed with them. The metal inserts for printing look good either using the metallic ones that come with them (almost 3d effect with some images) and the white metal inserts. Easy to print just a bit fiddly as they are very small.They come in their own presentation box also. Make good fathers day present......

Hope this helps

Would like a box/bag with them. Not sure BMS have the same shapes though.

I see the print area on Transfer Press circular keyrings is only 25mm, anyone know about the Xpres ones?

Metal Sublimation Keyring of BMS are very attractive polished silver keyrings which come supplied in their own presentation box with black suede effect inside to show them off.

Does anyone know where these keyrings are sourced as I'm trying to set up a business selling blanks but can't seem to find the exact one that Subliblanks and xpres use.

Firstly I am not sure who the manufacturer is of the Xpres ones but be wary. There are many different manufacturers of these metal keyrings in boxes and the quality varies greatly (we have been stung many a time). We go through a lot of these a year and the quality from different companies vary. Buying from China may not warrant too great a saving as firstly you need to buy thousands (and if you're not a big customer then they won't give you their lowest price), you will have to pay expensive shipping and you will have to pay import duty. We are currently in talks with Xpres to try and get the annoying labels removed off the boxes (customers hate them) and the BMS ones are now in stripey grey boxes which don't look as good sadly. Reality - buy from UK reseller in our opinion.
