Import or British?

So as not to seem biased, we sell imported and British-Made machines.

However, there are imports and there are 'imports' - just like there are sellers and 'sellers'.

Over the last few years, the internet has been flooded by cheaply-made imports. Finding a good quality imported heat press, is very much like finding a 'needle in a haystack'.

A lot of heat presses are made in the far east, and, in our opinion, are fairly sub-standard. Low grade metal is often used which makes the machines flimsy and unable to cope with the pressure often required when heat pressing.  Added to this, the electrical parts are again of low quality, if not dangerous in many cases.  We know this, as we have imported all types of machines and lost money!  Some machines have just ended up in the skip!

Cheaply made imported machines also require 'rest' in between jobs otherwise they are prone to overheating - which, in itself , can be dangerous.

As we said in our opening sentence, we do import some machines ourselves and have a  fairly strict quality control with our suppliers. This was not easy to achieve! Having said that, whilst the imported machines which we supply are a lot better than what's available elsewhere, we would still always recommend a good quality British Made heat press over imported ones. Our British-Made Presses are clearly marked with a Union Flag, so as to make it easy for our customers to identify.

The influx of cheaply made heat presses from the far east has also attracted 'sellers', who hope to make a quick fast buck by offloading heat presses at lower prices on the internet. The unfortunate thing is that some of them will be selling imported heat presses this season and another widget, the next. This often leaves purchasers high and dry when it comes to support - we know that because we get many calls for  support because these buyers they did not get any support or guidance from their   supplier.

A poor quality machine and a lack of support from a supplier can easily hamper the success of your business. A combination of both of these can often lead to failure before one has even fulfilled the first couple of orders. Yes, quality products  do cost more, but equally, it can be  a false economy to buy something based purely on price alone.
