ETC Supplies in Glasgow, Scotland

They have a large selection of embroidery, heat press, sublimation, packaging and garment supplies as well as informative product videos and a digitising service.

By "they", you mean "you" don't you?

You've made three posts, two of which just promote "ETC Supplies". The URL on your profile is to "ETC Supplies". They are in Glasgow, so are you. And there's an ETC Supplies blog posted by Sarah Ann at [url="http://etcsupplies.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html]http://etcsupplies.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html[/url]

home to gifts is closing down

Home to Gifts used to be a good vibrant supplier about three years ago, but their site has slowly depleted its stock lines, so it comes as no real surprise that they are finally closing up shop.

Part of the problem although some may disagree, is that many sublimation items are not competitive compared with other products. For example plastic unisub key rings at around the £1 mark are expensive compared with acrylic, or badge based keyrings. Whilst you can push the quality angle, it still makes for a rather expensive end product.

Yes they are, but whilst the US company maintains high prices and forces the suppliers to buy through a key distribution network in Europe (and so long as the Chinese are unable to match the quality) then these will remain high priced. There have been quite a few new products in the keyring line so I suspect these larger plastic ones will eventually become just a sideline product to the other, more attractive metal type keyrings (but they aren't as cheap!)

HometoGifts website no longer works. Neither does Spire-view.com (the business name), so I guess they've gone completely now.

Someone might want to remove them from the list of suppliers.

The "Dom Global" link opens to a page that just says "This account has been suspended". I guess someone didn't pay their bills...:biggrin:

I just tried it Jonathan & it redirects you to a new site called Heat Press UK.

It does for me now, too. It didn't when I tried before. I only noticed because I've been putting bookmarks on my iPad and I was using Justin's list in the first post.

Must be a new site. Either that, or I don't want to ask what happens when you click the link at the bottom of the page that says "Feacebook". :biggrin:
