PYD Life 50 Pieces Sublimation Coasters White Blanks Cork Backed 9.5 x 9.5 cm for Coffee Mugs Cups,for Heat Transfer Sublimation Printing (Aluminium, Square)

The advert says that the coasters are ready for sublimation. Please remember to remove the protective coating before you try!! The instructions do not mention that this needs to be done and it is really difficult to see that there is even one on them. When you see it, it is really difficult to peel off without scratching the face of the coaster (something sharp is needed to start the peel). Once you have completed this step, they sublimate beautifully. It just cost me several coasters and a couple of emails to the manufacturer before I realised that there was protective coating to be removed. They said they would update their advert to make it clear, but so far, they haven't. If you don't do this process, your coaster will look like it has adhesive patches all over it.UPDATE - the manufacturer has reached out to me to offer a full refund due to unclear instructions. I said that a full refund was not needed as I really only wanted them to update their advert to include the instructions to remove the protective film before sublimating. They have now promised to do this to make it easier to understand and they still gave me a partial refund as an apology which covers the cost of the coasters I wasted. Great customer care.

Nice and easy to sublimate. Nice affect, just don’t apply heat tape over the image paper as this will show through. The coaster is incredible thin but still nice.

At a first glance they look ok. The finished result was disappointing. The print was dull and patchy. I made another one with the same paper, but got the same dull result. I had made one using the cricut blanks, again with the same paper, and the result was far superior. I guess you get what you pay for. I will not be buying these again.

Great product for sublimation , takes well to sub ink and colours come out bright and vivid.

Coasters arrived promptly and as ever this companies instructions made the process of sublimation a breeze! This company is quickly becoming my favourite supplier of sublimation goods!
