Technical support for equipment and supplies purchased is one of the most important services we provide at Coastal Business Supplies, Inc.

The Importance of Technical Support
When shopping around for starter kits, heat presses, transfers or more, you’ll run across a lot of companies that are willing to make a LOT of promises just to make the sale.

- Bleed: Extending a printed image beyond the size of the intended product to ensure of the product will be completely covered by the transfer. Continue reading “Breaking Down Industry Terminology”
