⚠️ Note About Burnt Edges (Glossy Option)

This is completely normal and does not affect the quality or durability of the blank. Simply wipe the edges gently with a clean cloth before sublimating or packaging — no sanding required.

Faded colours? Use high-quality sublimation ink and paper.
Warping? Cool blanks on a flat surface with light pressure.
Ghosting? Use heat-resistant tape to keep transfers in place.
