About Craftcoat

Make More. Print More. Create More.

Craftcoat is a specialist materials brand for modern makers.

We develop coatings, films, transfer media and specialist consumables that help makers get more from their printing, sublimation, laser and digital making equipment.

Our goal is simple: help you work with more materials, achieve better results and unlock new possibilities from the equipment you already own.

Built From Experience

Craftcoat was founded by Paul, drawing on more than 20 years of experience in digital imaging and specialist coatings, including extensive work with sublimation coatings.

During that time, the technology available to makers has changed dramatically.

Printers, heat presses, laser engravers, cutters and increasingly sophisticated digital production equipment have put capabilities into home workshops and small businesses that once required specialist industrial machinery.

But the equipment is only part of the equation.

Often, the material itself is what limits what you can create.

That's where Craftcoat comes in.

Turning Limitations Into Possibilities

Can't print onto a particular surface? Want to sublimate a material that isn't normally suitable? Need a better laser mark or a way to protect a printed finish?

These are exactly the kinds of problems that interest us.

Craftcoat develops specialist materials designed to overcome practical limitations and open up new applications for makers.

More materials. More applications. More possibilities.

Developed For Makers

Our products aren't simply industrial materials put into smaller bottles.

Craftcoat products are selected and developed around real maker applications.

Our coatings are manufactured in the UK by specialist chemical manufacturers working with us. We evaluate products using relevant materials, equipment and production methods, helping us develop practical instructions and demonstrations for makers.

And we believe showing you how to use a product is just as important as developing it.

That's why Craftcoat is being built around clear instructions, application guides, demonstrations, compatibility information and practical support.

We develop and demonstrate. We share practical guidance. You discover what's possible.

Because materials, equipment and production methods vary, we always recommend testing our coatings on a small sample of your intended material before proceeding with finished products or production runs.

Built For What's Next

Craftcoat isn't tied to one machine, material or process.

We're developing the range around the rapidly changing world of digital making — from printing and sublimation to laser marking, cutting, transfer processes and the technologies still emerging.

Coatings are just the beginning.

As Craftcoat grows, our range will expand into specialist films, transfer media and other materials designed around the same principle:

Find the limitation. Develop a practical solution. Unlock another possibility.

Whether you're experimenting in a home workshop, growing a creative business or producing commercially, Craftcoat exists to help you do more with the equipment you already own.
