MARCH/APRIL NEWSLETTER 2025
New 0.7mm Metals, Easter Ideas + Key Hangers! 🐇
We have been identifying a range of products from across our Website to offer discounts on. Make sure you keep up with us on social media and check our Sale category regularly to catch these amazing deals!
Easter is creeping up on us and we have some wonderful ideas for ways you can use our seasonal shapes for Easter gifts, Easter Basket tags and Easter Hunt prizes.
We have some big ideas in our project along with a nice selection of brand new products! We’re exploring a Heritage and Landmark theme with a focus on creating keepsakes and souvenirs for local attractions…
Important Dates:
- Easter Shutdown – Monday 21st April to Thursday 24th April, we re-open on Monday 28th April!
March/April Free Gift
If you order in March and April you will receive one of our brand new Single Hangers! These are super simple but super effective little products – once printed, just bend the hook upwards, secure with the supplied strong adhesive tab and you have a brilliant, personalised place to hang your keys, calendars, bag tags, jewellery, light dog leads and more!
The Single Hangers are available in packs of 5, in White 0.5 mm or Brushed Silver 0.5 mm and from only 29p each, they are the perfect candidate for a small personalised gift for anyone – but especially those with a tendency to lose things!

Seasonal/Marketing Ideas
We have a lovely array of Easter shapes, and you can use any of these to create cute Easter Basket Tags – but we think our Egg, Carrot, and Rabbit work the best!
The Egg Holders make brilliant Easter gifts and Easter Hunt prizes! They are freestanding and will hold eggs the size of a Cadbury’s Creme Egg…
The Single Key Hangers and Key Hangers are new and super useful! Personalise them with names, photos, or designs and use them to keep your keys handy – so you won’t lose them!
There are 4 new tins on the Deep Rectangular Tin Listing: a 115 x 78 x 37 mm Suitcase Style with a hinged lid, a 200 x 160 x 90 mm with a hinged lid, and two 195 x 153 x 76 mm tins – both with hinged lids but one also has a window!
New 0.7mm Metals!
Some new 0.7mm Metals have just been added to a selection of products across our range! You’ll find them on many of the Alu Sheet Listings, the Custom Cut Sheets, and the Door Plaques…
Joining the White and Brushed Silver 0.7mm finishes we already have are: Brushed Gold 0.7mm, Double Sided Pearl White 0.7mm and Double Sided Matte White 0.7mm. The Brushed Silver 0.7mm we have now sourced from China in larger sheets – alongside the new colours/finishes – this has meant we have managed to reduce the price on it from a 60% surcharge to 50%, but it is a slightly thinner finish (although listed by our new supplier as only 0.03mm different to our original 0.7mm it does feels thinner than that) – please request a sample with any order you have in, if you would like to feel the difference for yourself.
The Pearl White metal has a lovely and subtle sparkle finish to it. We previously had this finish in single sided 0.5 mm, double sided 0.22 mm or double sided 0.5 mm business card size only – so we’re excited to now offer it in more sizes in thicker metal!
The Matte White finish is completely new! It has a brilliant smooth finish which makes the colours printed onto it look really classy. It is also easier to photograph compared to our other metals with a glossier finish…
Watch out for more matte finishes in other thicknesses being added across our range soon!
