NOVEMBER/DECEMBER NEWSLETTER 2025
Exciting news on price drops, plus brand new products - including presses!
Wow! We can’t believe this is our last main newsletter for this year – 2025 has flown by!
Our project for this issue is all about Pets! As a nation of pet lovers, we thought it was time for us to delve into some brilliant ideas for pet themed products, with lots of practical items and a showcase of fun seasonal ideas too!
A quick reminder that our Christmas Shutdown will run from Tuesday 23rd December until Thursday 1st January, with us re-opening on Monday 5th January. The cut-off point for orders on the 23rd will be 12 noon, anything received after that time will not be processed until 5th January – so please plan ahead!
And finally, some GREAT NEWS! – from now into next year we will be aggressively price cutting many of our items! We have spent this last year sourcing alternate supplies, doing deals, and working out how to manufacture more items in-house – to enable us to become more competitive – so watch for price cuts appearing wherever we are able (starting this month with a 30%+ PRICE DROP on Tags – see more below).
Important Dates:
- Christmas Shutdown – Tuesday 23rd December (the order cut off point will be noon) to Thursday 1st January, we re-open on Monday 5th January 2026!
November/December Free Gift
The Free Gift for November and December is one of our brilliant Double Sided 1mm Tags! You will receive a random shaped tag from our selection to sample. These tags are fantastic for Pet tags, ID tags, keyrings, or even bag charms! Plus, EXCITING NEWS is that we are now able to manufacture them in-house, so we are dropping their price by a whopping 30% or more! We’ve also added new shapes and extra sizes to our range. So if you like your sample, check out the other designs…
And of course, as we are now manufacturing them in-house, if you have any ideas for new shapes in Pet tags – please let us know!

Seasonal/Marketing Ideas
Get a head start on preparations for the new year with our range of brilliant Luxury Calendar Gift Sets! Housed in novel acrylic display cases that act as storage and display stands, in 4 sizes from Coaster to A5, they are a practical personalised addition to anyone’s home or office, with space to showcase memories throughout the year.
The Tri-fold Calendars are perfect for a busy desk, with 3 sides for monthly calendars, date reminders, or maybe a dry wipe sections for notes! Also check out the Birthday and Anniversary Reminder which is a lovely product for keeping track of all those special days – and since those dates don’t change, it’s a gift that will always be relevant!
Looking towards the first main occasion in the New Year, Valentine’s Day is the ideal time for lovely gifts with a personal touch.
We have a great selection of luxury gift sets (including some lovely jewellery themed ones!), plus our Token Sets are especially ideal for anyone wanting to give a small but heartfelt present to a loved one.
The majority of our gift sets also come with the opportunity to choose one of our brilliant tins or bags to package your unique finished product. Our Heart Shapes are always a classic choice for little plaques with Valentine’s messages printed onto them…
New Printers and Presses! (plus Mugs and markers!)
In October we launched a fantastic range of printers, presses, and sublimation accessories on Craftimetals. If you’ve been keeping up with us on social media then you may have seen some videos popping up of us showcasing how to use these new presses and equipment – and GREAT NEWS – they are now on Subli Metals too!
The Craft Express Heat Presses are beautifully designed for ease of use and practicality at amazing price points for their ergonomic and professional level of build. The range includes small to medium handheld starter presses for hobbyists (or for the professional as a backup and economic, quick-to-heat-up press for small items, tests or samples) plus larger beautifully built flat presses for every day use from combo, A4 to A2, plus multi and combo Mug presses!
Sawgrass are the market leaders in sublimation ink and printers, having pioneered sublimation desktop printing ink from its original development. Renowned for their ‘out of the box’ ease of use, with built in colour correction software, they are the professional choice for convenience, with lifetime Sawgrass tech support included. Not resting on their laurels, they have now developed a new ‘hybrid ink’ system called VersiFlexTM that features ink that will work on sublimation paper for sublimation items AND will also transfer onto light coloured clothing – so think cotton T-shirts! – and porous uncoated surfaces like natural wood, when using the special VersiFlex paper! This innovative system is only available at present through a small selection of retailers – and we are one of them!
We’ve also added Sublimation ink markers for the creatives out there to draw their designs directly in sublimation ink and then press onto our items – perfect for Craft fairs and school projects… plus a range of Metal mugs and tumblers for subbing in our newly added combo Mug press! – we’ll give you more info on these in our next update…
One Item, Three Ways!
Did you know that we can now offer double sided metal on a wide range of products? Double sided means double the print room, so we’ve picked out three of our popular products to show you just how brilliant this metal can be… (and if you want to see if we can make a product in double sided white, when it isn’t listed as available in that finish as yet, please let us know and we can see if it is possible!).
Book Tags and Clips
Our Book Tags and Clips (and also bookmarks!) are ideal for making use of our double sided metal. They allow even more print room for fun book quotes or cool artwork – your book and bookmark will be stylish from all angles! They are available in Double Sided White 0.5mm and 0.7mm and in Double Sided Bright Silver 0.5mm.
Jewellery
We are currently working on updating our jewellery listings to include a wide range of our metal finishes – including thicker and double sided metals. These listings offer 0.5mm, 0.7mm, and 1mm thicknesses – including Double Sided Matt White (in 0.7mm and 1mm) which gives a very classy, almost-smooth finish to the design!
Keyrings
The Budget Keyrings and Multi Charm Keepsake Keyrings all have double sided white available! Double sided keyrings are perfect as it means that the design will always be on display, no matter how the keys are hanging – it’s also great for extra personalisation such as names or important information.
So it’s onwards and upwards to Christmas now – have a great and hopefully very busy time on the run up – we’ll be back with our next email in December with more PRICE DROP updates to let you know about, as we identify the products we can adjust and code the website with the new prices – thanks as ever for your custom, we all appreciate every order!
Kind Regards,
Nicci, Carl, Claire, Caroline, Pippa, Jodie, Emily, Lisa, Rebecca, Winnie the Labrador, Petal the Doberman & Donder and Blitzen the Sprocker Siblings – the Subli Metals Team!
