Default What to put on business cards? (dye sublimation business)

Good afternoon! I am very new to this business and am having trouble describing my business on my business cards. I use sublimation ink, sublimation heat transfer paper and a heat press. I don't think describing it as screen printing is accurate. Does anyone have any ideas? Currently I am only making t-shirts and mouse pads, but will eventually venture down other substrate avenues. Thanks for you help!

No, describing it as screenprinting would in fact be an outright lie.

So you want a tagline, along the lines of "Custom decorated t-shirts and promotional goods"? (or something)

When I started in Sublimation some years ago...I just listed my business and then followed with 'customized personal mementos..choose from hundreds of items, no minimum and no setup fees ever...and it seemed to work..I am still here and expanded.

I agree with everyone else. Screen printing is not correct. Personally, I think the majority of end-users (i.e. your customers) probably are not going to know what sublimation is. So, market the type of personalized products on your card. Create some catchy saying that communicates you can put their picture or graphic on to almost any type of product. Sublimation is all about personalization with digital quality results. Hope this helps.

Or do like I did... do both. I bought out a tshirt guy, got all of his equipment at a nice price, and set the kids up in my satallite business. We will advertise both, either/or.

"Full Color Custom T-Shirts, Mugs & More!"

That's what I have on my business cards and on the pens I just ordered.
