Sublimation printable USB memory cards or sticks

I have searched all over for more info on this subject and came up empty handed or dead ends were met so ill post here and see if anyone has some ideas.

I am looking for sublimation printable memory cards or sticks either the credit card style or the regular swivel/lidded chunky type and cannot find the suppliers in this country and the ones that i have found are either in china or other places and the costs don't seem that good when you work in shipping

Is there any UK suppliers out there?

If not i see a niche market for the right person

Personally I would use TMT Hard Surface Light paper on a twister USB

Here is a link to a company who regularly email me regards usb sticks etc. it may be worth a look at this site = hope it helps http://www.usb-flashdrive.co.uk/

ooppss try this one may have sent you wrong link-http://www.usb-flashdrive.co.uk/

Thanks socialgiraffe just looked into that and it's not what im looking for yet but nice info for future use and i am already demo-ing the stuff on products in my head :)

samoht146 that link is to a company who makes the usb drives already printed which is not what i want sorry but thanks all the same ,i am looking for plastic polymer based shells or shells with a polymer coating that come with the memory card part seperate so you can print onto the shell then add the memory part after pressing.

I have found a spray system which you can coat practically anything in but the item needs to be heat resistant due to the sprayed items needing to be pre baked for 20 mins in an oven which is where i will end up if i cannot find what i want.

well ill rephrase that ! which is where i will be heading to get my products that i require and not by sticking my head in the oven

nobody found any sublimatable usb sticks yet?

Have you looked at the Chinese suppliers such as BestSub?

Yeah looked on a few tbh best sub included but none has a sublimation usb dongle lol i just dont get it?

You can get pill boxes, compact mirrors, iphone covers all with metal sheets which you print onto then stick to the item so why the heck is there no version of it as a usb stick? ... its a wasted oportunity

On that note does anyone know of suppliers of small metal plaques like you have on trophies which can be sublimated?

Try subli metals for small pieces.

i believe sublimation USB sticks are available but the blank prices are so expensive currently that they wouldn't be competitive compared to other approaches like Social has said in the past using CPM/ laser onto the twist blanks.

The blank price wouldn't matter really because everyone accepts they are not cheap to start with as blank or branded ones bought from the high street and then they expect them to be more expensive if customised but it is a small market compared to other products but one that will always grow with technology, that said i can see the worries a supplier may have in case they are stuck with a pallet of products they cannot shift.

The main ones i have seen which i really would like are the credit card type ones, now i can get 100 of these printed for £100 but then the shipping costs and having to trust they will deliver from china scuppers the idea, surely it can't be that expensive to get blanks like these if i can buy pre printed at £1.80 delivered each which were 4gb data size.

Do you have a photo of the exact type of USB key you want?

There maybe a very good reason why no one is selling the type you require.
