So many apparel decorators focus on putting a design on a blank and getting it out the door. But what truly makes the best end product that customers will wear for years, that makes them come back for repeat orders? With the availability of so many technologies, it can be tough to determine what is the best decoration method for each type of garment.
Josh Ellsworth, executive vice president of sales and marketing for STAHLS’, joins host Cassie Green, content director for Apparelist, to discuss the importance of selecting the best decoration method for the blank you’re using. Josh offers advice, explanations, and guidelines on how to go about making the right decision.
Understanding how the various technologies affect the decorating community is a topic of utmost importance. During the Apparel Decoration Summit, taking place June 12-14 in Nashville, a panel of experts will discuss it in more depth. Join keynote sponsors STAHLS’ and Kornit, as well as several others, at the event.
