Banquet season is coming and these medals cost basically nothing to make.

Plastic blanks, Multitrans Pro paper, 275°F for 35 seconds, heavy pressure, hot peel. Tape your image down first or the print shifts, learned that one the hard way. Add a ribbon and you've got a genuinely cute custom award for track, soccer, baseball, whatever wrapped up this season.

Tag a coach or team parent who's already dreading the banquet gift budget.

What sport are you making these for?

These smartwatch charms are almost too small to sublimate... almost.

Tiny metal blanks, printed CPM, tape to hold everything in place, and a whole lot of patience. The size makes it fiddly, but the payoff is worth it.

Tag someone who'd lose their mind over how small these are.

Would you sell these, or is this strictly a "make it because it's cute" project for you?

One of the easiest ways to grow a custom printing business isn't always buying new equipment...

It's finding new products your customers already want.

In this quick project, we're using the same transfer paper to personalize something completely different, a jewelry tray.

That's the kind of versatility that opens doors to gift shops, boutiques, wedding gifts, corporate gifting, home décor, and personalized keepsakes.

Turns out tattoo paper works on more than mugs.

These hardboard coasters (grabbed from Hobby Lobby) took the same peel-wet-press method beautifully. No heat press needed. Quick note, it's water applied, so regular wood can warp. These coated ones handle it fine.

Between this, the fabric coaster, and the mug, that's three surfaces, one technique, an easy little product line if you're building out a market table.

Tag someone who needs a low-cost gift set idea, and tell us, mug, fabric, or hardboard, which are you trying first?

If you're only using Magic Touch CPM on shirts, you're leaving money on the table.

This fabric coaster took print, trim, heat press, and a warm peel, that's it. Clean transfer, no mess, and it opens up a whole product line beyond apparel.

Tag someone in your crafting group who needs to see this, coasters are such an easy add-on product for markets and gift sets.

What else have you made with CPM besides shirts? Curious what this community's doing with it.

Heat press broke and you've still got orders to fill? Here's the fix nobody talks about.

You can make a full custom mug with ZERO heat press using tattoo paper. Print it, peel it, squeegee it on, trim it, wrap it wet, peel again, done. It's not a permanent sublimation-level finish, but when you're in a pinch, it saves the order.

Tag a fellow crafter who needs to see this before their next market day. 👇

And tell us, what's your emergency fix when equipment goes down mid-order?

Sometimes the best-selling product in your shop isn't the one you expect.

Custom temporary tattoos are affordable to produce, fun to personalize, and can open the door to completely new customers, from birthday parties and school events to sports teams, festivals, and local businesses.

The biggest takeaway?

Growing a print business isn't always about buying more equipment. Sometimes it's about adding one product your competitors haven't thought about yet.

👇 We'd love to hear your thoughts...

If you were launching ONE new product this month, what would it be?

✨ Temporary Tattoos

👕 Custom Apparel

🎁 Personalized Gifts

☕ Drinkware

Tell us why. You might inspire someone else's next business idea.

Sometimes your customers aren't looking for a bigger design...

They're looking for something that feels more premium.

A metallic finish can completely change the way a simple print is perceived, without changing the artwork itself.

It's a small upgrade that can help custom apparel stand out on the shelf, at events, or in an online store.

👇 We're curious...

If your customers had the choice, which finish do you think they'd pick?

✨ Metallic Foil

🎨 Full Color Print

🖤 Clean Matte

Tell us why. We'd love to hear what you're seeing in today's market.

The best custom prints aren't just about the artwork—they're about the finish.

A design can look amazing when it comes off the press, but the real test is how it feels, how it stretches, and how it holds up over time.

In this quick clip from our Crio × TheMagicTouch webinar, we're sharing one finishing technique that can help take your apparel from "good enough" to something customers notice and remember.

👇 We'd love to hear from you...

What's the biggest challenge you face when decorating apparel?

• Cracking after pressing

• Glossy finish

• Finding the right settings

• Getting consistent results

Tell us why in the comments. Chances are, someone else is dealing with the same challenge.
