T-Shirt Printing and Printwear and Promotion

This weeks Printwear and Promotion show at Birminghams NEC Arena was a resounding success according to all the exhibitors. Whilst the official visitor figures have yet to be released the general feeling among both exhibitors and visitors alike was that the show was certainly a lot busier than last year especially on the Sunday when many visitors used their own time to see the show rather than taking time away from their business during Monday or Tuesday.

As always one of the main exhibiting groups was the screen print industry including machine manufacturers and suppliers such as M&R.

These are encouraging times for T-shirt printing industry. Here at JKL Clothing we have seen enquiries and orders significantly up on the same period last year and we are also receiving enquiries from abroad where perhaps the weather is not as big an issue as in this country.

JKL Clothing have recently produced printed t-shirts for the Army Benevolent fund. This was an order for 3000 garments with a two colour screen print to both the front and rear. Charities have been one section of the promotional market that we have targeted in recent months. We feel that printed t-shirts are an ideal, cost effective way for charities to promote themselves and a such offer attractive discounts to attract orders.

If the optimism at Printwear and Promotion is anything to go by, the promotional clothing industry can look forward to a successful 2010, although JKL Clothing like many business's in our industry are not taking anything for granted and will be continuing to offer an excellent printed garment with a superior level of service.
