    Long time no update (sorry been too busy!) - but we have some exciting news!

    July / August News
    Summer Breaks
    First a REMINDER: we are shutting for Summer break:
    August 22nd-29th, returning 30th August, so all orders received that week will ship asap from the 30th, though we will have a backlog by then, so please bear this in mind when ordering and also please order in plenty of time the week before - commencing August 15th, as we always find the week before a break very busy too...

    Stock News
    Good news on stock levels at the moment - we are well stocked on all metal thicknesses and colours and are stockpiling as much as possible, planning for the Christmas run in...
    Quick reminder again of the updated Pressing settings: Ultra gloss and coloured metal is pressed using our standard 170-185c settings for 50 secs. Standard 0.5 and 0.7mm white (supplied since May) is now:165-180C, for 70 secs, so lower temp but longer time, manufacturers also recommend the bed of the press is hot.

    We have now added the first of the larger sizes of metal in White Ultragloss:
    A2 605 mm x 400 mm approx and A2 594 mm x 420 mm and remember we can now cut A1 and larger - right up to 1200 x 600 mm!

    New Products
    We have continued to update the Starter Packs and collections to our site, which have great savings and are designed as samplers of the various categories we offer - a great idea to add to your order if you need to reach the minimum amount of £35 or even better the Free shipping level of £75! Other items useful for this are in our Clearance section which we have populated with overstocked, clearance or sale items - the overstocked items are the most interesting, as they are items mostly at 50% off or more. These are items that we have already cut so are happy to clear at a discounted price, but can be made available again (at their standard price) if you then need to reorder them.... great for trialling new items or testing new designs! We have also added a new Jewellery Presentation box.

    But now to our really exciting news.. we have finally found a way (by heavily investing! - gulp!)to cut all 3 thicknesses of our Sublimation aluminium to any shape including internal cut outs, right up to 900 x 700 mm! So 4 years worth of research has finally borne fruit and we have the machine, which arrived 10 days ago, in operation and already producing Custom cut designs for customers and stock items for our shelves!
    We have been busy working on new designs to add to the site to and have already added a new Large 8inch approx Oval and A5 Classic Cross, plenty more will follow but get any suggestions in early if you have any good ideas (and obviously different size versions of all designs can also now be produced by request too!) Shapes can be produced with internal details cut out, so slots etc can be added to create 3D items too! And as the machine is very accurate (to 0.1mm) we can also produce very exact inserts for any items you may already have, that you could then add a printable design into! So get your thinking caps on!!
    Some of the Custom cut customer designs we have already produced have also been added to the Shapes section with photos so you can get start to get an idea of the items we have already produced (and we have only had the machine 10 days!).
    We have also added a new category to the site called Samples, that includes an item we would like you to use to gain a quote for your own designs to be cut on the machine. Because we have to actually produce the layout of the shapes in machine code to give you an accurate price, we cannot provide free quotes for Custom shapes. You will need to fill out the fields in the Custom Cut Shape Quote / Sample item and checkout and then email your shape to us directly, to receive your price and/or samples (remember to use Local pickup if you are only requesting a quote, normal Parcelforce shipping for Samples). 2 things to note - if you can produce vector files of your shapes or are happy for us to use your shape on the site to sell to other customers - if it is suitable obviously! - rather than the shape be exclusive to you, your quote or items will be cheaper and you will get your quote quicker!
    After you receive your quote and/or sample and approve them, your item will be added to the site as per this one here: Custom Cut Shape – Folk Heart JB £0.95–£3.28 so you can order it. The only thing you have to note here is that we are already looking at high demand for this service so we are putting a longer turnaround on quotes and Custom Cut shapes, initially week-10 days, at least until we can catch up and get ahead!


    Facebook or email Christmas Competition
    We have launched another competition to get you experimenting early for christmas - Any metal printed Christmas themed item is acceptable (but using our Christmas shapes will get you extra brownie points lol) - entries via Email or the FB page again please - closing date 30th November (Nicci's birthday! lol) Same prizes as before, £50 coupon to the winner, £20 to runners up!

    Special Offers
    As mentioned last time, to accompany your free sample of a Snowman and/or bell in orders throughout July and August, we are offering extra savings on our popular Christmas/Seasonal shapes bumper collection and /or our brand new Weddings & Event bumper collection - both with savings of over 27%, retailing at only £19.95 each.
