Hi all,
Please can anyone advise where to buy ceramic ornaments to use in a flat bed press (circle, heart and star shaped). I'm currently using these from Longforte:
http://www.longforte.com/ceramic-christ ... d-ornament but they are pretty poor quality (half the batch have little specs of something permanently attached, which I simply couldn't send to a customer).
Can anyone recommend a supplier?
Thanks!
....on a side note, does anyone else's emails to Longforte get completely ignored? I'm getting a little tired of it and wondered if their customer service is generally quite poor?

BMS (see link below) also see this type of stuff. They should be better as they are made by Unisub which is a reputable manufacturer.

Don't know about their customer service as I have never needed to contact them.

Thanks Socialgiraffe. I love BMS, but their ornaments look a little on the tacky side with the coloured edge.
I'd really like ornaments that look like those which Longforte sell...

That made me smile
The items are pure white, so don't come with a coloured edge, unless you print them that way and make them
look "tacky". Best not to print a coloured outline on your designs

Hey BMS, thanks.... haha

You're the first place I look (your customer service is fab and you've been very helpful to me) but I'm looking for ceramic, ideally.

No problem. I do have a small selection of ceramic ones in stock that were sent to us from the same company that makes our European mugs. I'm not around for a few days but I can see what these are and let you know.
