Digital Printing Transforms the Wearables Space
Promotional Products are a $21.4 billion business with wearables like hats and shirts making up 32% of the market share.
This article is all about how digital printing and other technology advances and decoration techniques have allowed our industry to grow. In previous years, it wasn’t profitable to take small jobs, so we were limited to only filling orders that reached our specified minimum quantity requirements.
Now, with different printing methods, you can make money on an order of ball caps for a little league team of 25 as well as a corporation of 2,500.
