    MDF Coasters

    I've recently started printing these and as usual there is a load of suppliers.
    I've tried a couple (Longforte & The Transfer Press), both with good results and wondered what experiences folks have had with these or other suppliers?

    Lots of suppliers but from our experience there are LOTS of differences between then. Coating, edges, backing... In an ideal world then Unisub is the only way to go BUT with recent manufacturing issues then most people are going back to Chinese based coasters (although there is one UK based manufacturer). You will find a HUGE difference between the coating of Unisub and all Chinese coasters in that Unisub are pure white whereas all the Chinese coasters we have used all have a yellow tint. When held next to each other the difference is very big. At the end of the day your decision needs to be based on your client or customer base. Cheap and chearful or gift shop quality.

    Thanks for that, I was unaware of the tint issue.
