Why Sublimation Tumblers and Sublimation Blank Clack Fans Are Game-Changers for Creators

In the world of custom products, few items strike the perfect balance between functionality and creativity like sublimation tumblers and the increasingly popular sublimation blank clack fan. Whether you're a craft enthusiast, a small business owner, or a bulk reseller looking to scale up, these products offer an ideal canvas for personal expression, branding, and profitable merchandising. In this article, we'll explore how these two powerhouse items are revolutionizing the personalization market and how Crafix Sublimation Tumblers delivers top-tier quality for both. What Are Sublimation Tumblers? Sublimation tumblers are high-quality drinkware items designed for full-color custom printing using the sublimation heat transfer process. The result is a vibrant, fade-resistant design that becomes part of the tumbler's surface. These tumblers are a staple in the personalized products world and come in various shapes and sizes. Why They're Popular: Long-lasting, high-resolution prints Stainless steel construction with vacuum insulation Ideal for DIYers, Etsy sellers, and brand promotions Smooth, coated surface perfect for sublimation designs At Crafix, we offer a wide selection of sublimation-ready tumblers, including the best-selling 20 oz skinny sublimation tumblers known for their sleek profile and excellent heat retention. While tumblers have long dominated the sublimation market, a new star has entered the stage — the sublimation blank clack fan. Made of fabric or polyester-based material with sturdy plastic or bamboo ribs, these fans are built to withstand heat pressing and allow full-surface custom printing. Unique and dramatic 'clacking' sound when opened or closed Large printable surface (ideal for vibrant, bold designs) Popular at concerts, drag shows, festivals, and events Lightweight, durable, and fully customizable These fans are fast becoming a hot item among artists and sellers looking to stand out from typical merchandise offerings. At Crafix, we provide high-quality sublimation blank clack fans that are durable, foldable, and ready to print with vivid, full-wrap designs.

How to Sublimate a Blank Clack Fan New to sublimating fans? Here's a quick guide to creating your first custom sublimation clack fan: Design your artwork to fit the unfolded fan surface (typically 13-14″ wide and 8-9″ tall). Print using sublimation ink on sublimation paper. Align the print and secure with heat-resistant tape or thermal adhesive sheet. Press in a heat press using low-medium pressure at 365°F for 45–60 seconds. Peel and cool before using or packaging. Crafix fans are specifically designed to handle heat evenly and produce bold, vibrant prints.

Final Thoughts: Elevate Your Brand with Crafix Whether you're sipping in style or cooling down in flair, sublimation tumblers and sublimation blank clack fans offer endless creative potential. These products aren't just functional—they're walking (or clacking!) canvases for personal and commercial expression. Common Questions Answered 1. Can I use any fan for sublimation? No — only specially coated sublimation blank clack fans work for heat transfer printing. Crafix fans are sublimation-ready and made for professional use. 2. Are your tumblers dishwasher-safe? Yes, our sublimation tumblers are made with high-quality coatings that make them resistant to fading and dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended). 3. Do clack fans break easily after sublimation? Not at all. Our fans are made with strong plastic ribs and durable fabric that stays intact during and after pressing. 4. Can I buy in bulk for my store? Yes! Crafix offers wholesale pricing on all sublimation blanks, including tumblers and fans. 5. What is the turnaround time for large orders? Most wholesale orders ship within 3–5 business days, and we provide tracking and delivery estimates for peace of mind. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Definitely nae Fantails were allowed at our pigeon Airbnb in Leith

One hobby which Steve Cardownie immersed himself in during his youth was keeping pigeons I recently bumped into an old friend of mine who I grew up with in Leith. I used to stay in Cannon Street and he lived around the corner in, what was then, Albany Street. Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

One hobby which we totally immersed ourselves in was keeping pigeons. Our favourite bird was the Horseman, or Pouter. Handsome creatures that inflated the pout on their necks to strut around the 'dookit' or flying in circles around the area impressing all who set eyes upon them, particularly the opposite sex of the same species. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We would 'throw up' a bird (either a cock or a hen) depending on what some rival 'dookit' was flying, with the objective of attracting their bird to our 'dookit.' It would then be taken up to 'Ernie's' in Leith Street and sold on. However, we also ran the risk of our bird being enticed to the rival 'dookit' and we would be out of pocket, so choosing the right bird to fly at the right time was the most important decision to be made. Former Scotland footballer, Duncan Ferguson, built a complex structure to house his 3200 pigeons in Formby, Southport. It was reported that he invested roughly £1000 per bird as their accommodation was described as 'luxurious'. He unfortunately fell foul of his neighbours who complained about the noise so, undeterred, he invested around £120,000 to install soundproofing in every pigeon cage throughout the whole complex. So, Duncan's pigeons live in the equivalent of The Beverley Hills Hotel while ours had the run of an Air BnB (pun intended) Although modest, it was comfortable and clean, and our pigeons were well looked after. In addition to Horsemen, we also kept Homers and Tumblers, but definitely – 'nae Fantails'.
