What is Printwear? It’s the pre-fabricated garment sector comprising wearable items that can be decorated using direct-to-garment or dye sublimation digital devices – and is one of the best growth/profit areas for the industry right now.

One I like is a mouse mat that charges your phone as you work. If ‘company X’ gave me one of those, I would be seeing their logo all day!

CNC cutting tables have enabled many short-run manufacturing companies to flourish and add new products to the offerings of Sign & Display printers.
