The textile label printing industry is already experiencing rapid change, and these advances are unlikely to slow down in the next few years. As consumer preferences evolve and demand for sustainable printing solutions rises, label printing businesses need to be at the sharp end to adapt to new trends and remain agile in a market that is continuously changing.

Printed fabrics are widely accepted in production of home textiles & the fashion & sports garment industry. Fashion & sports wear demand high impact decoration and graphics with a rapid turnaround for fast design, production and delivery to the high street.

Label print runs that produce poor quality or unattractive products will rarely earn your business a reputation for excellence and can significantly impact your profits, as your clients will inevitably work with other label printers in future.

Printers and manufacturers are often on the lookout for more sustainable printing options which is one reason why dye sublimation has gained in popularity in the textile industry. Widely used to print ribbons, elastics, hi-tech sports clothing, flags, and promotional products, this specialist method offers important advantages over traditional printing techniques - but also poses some limitations.

When you’re planning your customer’s garment label printing requirements, one of the most important decisions to make is which type of fabric to use.
