Suntek STB-ASS sublimation aluminum ornaments are white aluminium blanks with two printable faces. The identified printing process uses a flatbed heat press. For a design using both sides, it helps to decide what each face should show before working on the final artwork.
Two faces to think about
The double-sided format is the useful distinction here. Say a buyer wants the same image on each face, or a photograph on one face and a short message on the other. Both are design proposals to discuss. Neither decides the supply scope or means the chosen artwork is ready for production.
Label the two designs so they can't be confused. If their orientation relative to one another matters, show that in the layout as well. It may be obvious to the person making the artwork, but it should also be visible in the file sent with the enquiry. The Suntek STB-ASS listing is the item reference to put alongside those files.
A finished-printing requirement should be stated separately from a purchase of blanks. That leaves the conversation clear about what is being discussed, without assuming an included decoration service.
The chosen outline still needs dimensions
Aluminium and white describe the material and colour. The particular outline is another part of the choice. Get its overall dimensions and printable-area information before sizing either face. If the artwork depends on a border or the position of an attachment, include that detail when discussing the format.
Several outlines may be under consideration. Give each its own reference and leave its measurements beside it. A series name is convenient for browsing, but it isn't a reason to combine the dimensions of one item with the preferred outline of another. The selected blank needs to be identifiable in the quotation as well as in the artwork files.
Using the flatbed process
A flatbed heat press is the named process for STB-ASS. Get the preparation and transfer directions for the exact blank and its current surface, with the intended equipment and consumables included in the discussion. An operating setting borrowed from another ornament won't settle those questions.
You'll also need directions for handling the two faces during the proposed process. Double-sided describes what can receive artwork; it doesn't supply a complete operating sequence. It's worth resolving that alongside the layout, while there is still room to revise the proposal before committing it to a run.
A quotation for the actual ornament
The gift blanks collection gives a route to other formats. Keep STB-ASS alongside the chosen variant when returning to this one. Quantity, destination and presentation needs can go in the same message, with any required arrival date. The buying brief page helps bring that information together. Have the supplied components and packing described too, particularly where a hanging part or an individual pack is important to the gift idea.
Questions & answers
Are both faces printable?
Yes. STB-ASS is a double-sided aluminium sublimation ornament blank. Prepare the design for both faces and make any relationship between them clear. The selected variant's printable area still needs to be established before the artwork is final.
Which process is identified for STB-ASS?
A flatbed heat press. Get the instructions for the chosen blank and the equipment and consumables planned for use. The process name doesn't select a particular press model or provide a universal set of operating settings.
How should different outlines be compared?
Give each proposed variant a separate reference, with its outline, dimensions and supplied components. Then compare the artwork against each format. Matching material and colour descriptions don't settle the printable area or the attachment and packing details for the selected item.
