Coastal Business Supplies Offers Tips for Coaster Decorating
Coasters are available in a variety of shapes and materials, lending themselves to any market or occasion. In selecting a style, Coastal Business Supplies Inc., Maryland Heights, Mo., suggests considering:
End use: Some coasters are cork- or rubber-backed to prevent slipping; some are designed for economy and promotional use; and others for greater durability.
Artwork: Almost any art works, from logos to full-color graphics and photos. Some suppliers offer downloadable templates in the shape of the coasters to aid in designing artwork.
Printing: Sublimation, laser and some inkjet transfers can be used. They can be applied to almost any kind of coaster, but sublimation requires a surface with an ink-receptive coating.
Some types of transfers may eventually scratch off, making it smart to apply a clear protective coating after pressing. Also, jigs are available for some coaster styles to make it easier to align images for printing in bulk.
