Hi all,
I have a customer looking for imprinted basketballs, the ones with a white panel.

Anyone do these or know where I can get these.

Thanks,
Greg

Do you mean OTHER THAN Ballstars?

Greg,

Do they want a logo or team photo? If a photo, Ballstars will do fulfillment work in-house if there is no one in your area that has purchased or licensed their equipment to do so.

I will mention there have been some threads here that talk about some questionable business practices in the retial vs. wholesale distribution of their products.

Might that also have been about going around the dealer and contacting the customer directly?

No company would EVER do that! 8-O

Well, if Ballstars is the only game in town so to speak, I would use them.
I really have no idea what else is out there.
My customer wants 12 ball imprinted with just text, I think.

Greg, I'm not aware of any "balls" being imprinted other than Ballstars. On the otherhand, you are talking text only, whereas Ballstars is known more for photo images on sports balls. Personally, I have a problem with Ballstars. It seems that the "company" competes with those to whom they sell equipment, supplies and, maybe, franchises. But that's another subject which HAS been mentioned here previously.

How about sources in the Promotional Products end of our business?Maybe someone doing pad printing, but even then the "pad" and related would have to be large to accomodate relative sized imprinting. And, then, minimum quantity may or may not be an issue.

Others here may have more to offer.
