ORCA 16 oz. Sublimation Ceramic Pencil Caddy Blanks - Black - 36/Case
Product Type:
Stationery
Product Details
xPrint shops and custom gift businesses reach for the ORCA 16 oz two-tone ceramic pencil caddy every July, because back to school is when teacher gifts and desk accessories sell hardest. It comes in 2T black or 2T blue, 36 to a case, with a colored exterior framing a white printable panel.
The colored glaze makes the finished caddy look like retail merchandise rather than a plain blank. Misaligned art shows badly against the panel edge, so register each transfer carefully. For example, the $3.39 black blank plus $1.11 for ink and labor supports $11.25 to $13.50, using the 2.5 to 3 times rule common among sublimation sellers.
