but if you put more than one in the basket you get "We don't have enough Sublimation Fridge Magnet Bottle Opener stock on hand for the quantity you selected. Please try again" Also Merlin have a few but very low stock. I mean everywhere has either run the stock right down, like they can't get them anymore or they cost a fortune.

Yep, I saw you response to UK Printed Mugs.

I did have a look at Best Sub Poland which does tend to hold a lot more items in higher quantities and they are also out of stock. This suggests to me that the manufacturer is either having problems (COVID, Shipping etc etc etc) or they are stopping to make them.

You could potentially look at making something similar yourself using custom cut from Subli Metals and then all you need are some dot magnets whch are easy to find. It will be slightly different but you will never run out of stock again.

I started using these a while back but stopped due to quality issues - they look great printed, but really are pretty crap. The metal used isn't strong enough and after a few uses the metal opener part wears or bends and they become unusable. No point in a personalised bottle opener if it doesn't lift the lid off the bottle.

I went on to bar blades and they're brilliant - strong, do the job and look great printed.

I know what you mean John, I always use them back to front to actually open the beer as the right way round it's a struggle but 99.999% of the time it just sits on the fridge looking good so that's why I still sell them. Can you get the bar blades ones with a white sublimation coating? I'll have to give them a try

[John G]

Not sure - always used the natural ones (steel coloured) - they would look better in white and colours would stand out better, but with the abuse they take in a bar, I think the white coating would chip.

Aside of the original thread looking for a specific blank, Xpres have just added a new bottle opener into the range:
