Sublimation-Ready Ring Clip Blanks Customizable Phone Ring Stand

A sublimation-ready ring clip blank (or customizable phone ring stand) is a pre-made, blank accessory designed for heat transfer (sublimation) printing, allowing you to create personalized, full-color phone grips, lanyard clips, or keychain holders.

Key Features:

✔ Material: Made of metal or polymer-coated material (usually polyester-coated for sublimation).
✔ Sublimation-Ready: Designed to absorb sublimation ink when heat-pressed, resulting in vibrant, permanent prints.
✔ Functionality:

• Acts as a phone ring stand (attaches to phone cases for better grip).

• Can be used as a lanyard clip, keychain, or bag accessory.

• Often includes a 360° rotating ring for adjustable viewing angles.
  ✔ Customizable: Print logos, photos, patterns, or designs using sublimation.
