“Future Fashion itself is based on Sustainability. The vision behind the emergence of Future Fashion was to provide high quality textile printing and processing services to the brands of Pakistan. The new company will also encourage new business. We have installed the latest technology and offer the market a sustainable solution that’s kind to the environment and our local eco-system.” - Rana Muhammad Imran Afzal, General Manager of Future Fashion.
WRITTEN BY FESPA TEXTILE AMBASSADOR DEBBIE MCKEEGAN
Future Fashion is the largest digital textile printing company in Pakistan. Founded in 2019, the Company is equipped with the latest single pass digital printing machinery, including the EFI Reggiani (BOLT).
In fact, this machine, purchased at ITMA in 2019, was the first installation for this ground-breaking technology and marks a moment in time for the adoption and acceleration of industrial scale textile production machinery in South Asia.
The company also utilises another 6 digital scanning printers, 4 by MSItaly and 2 from AtexCO China. Printed production is supported for Pre and Post finishing by state-of-the art European technology.
It often a false assumption of the West that the majority of the printed meterage manufactured in Southern Asia is destined for our shores. That’s not always the case. Pakistan represents a huge home market and one that absorbs many 100’s of millions of metres of printed textiles for its own population, particularly fashion. In fact, this case study reflects just that – on shore production. A major investment in on-demand digital technology for the markets within Asia. That’s not to say that the volumes of South Asian print destined and exported for the West are insignificant, that would be incorrect, but for Future Fashion (Pvt) Ltd currently Asia is the main market for their digitally printed textiles.
In this interview we talked with Rana Muhammad Imran Afzal, General Manager of Future Fashion.
With a background in traditional, analogue technology and years of experience with digital machinery throughout his career, he took the role of GM with overall responsibility for printed production and was instrumental in the projects execution. Imran explained “Our parent company Hunbultex, is the largest digital production company in Pakistan with 22 scanning printers, most of them from EFI Reggiani”.
“Planning for the new venture, Future Fashion, began at the launch of the EFI Reggiani (BOLT) in 2019. A single-pass machine from our trusted partner EFI. Hunbultex was the first company in the world to buy the BOLT. The new company FF is equipped with one BLOT and 6 Scanning printing machines (MSItaly and AtexCo China).”
“The project was signed off in mid 2019 and took approximately 9 months to complete the build and installation of the machinery for pre and post finishing and digital textile printing. COVID caused a number of delays, but overall, this was an impressive achievement is such a small timescale”.
Future Fashion now produced 25 to 30 million linear metres of digitally printed textiles in one calendar year with their primary market being Pakistan’s fashion industry.
Imran explained further “We are providing commercial printing services to top local brands which also have stores abroad as well. We are also providing printing services to international sourcing offices who are exporting their goods to the USA and EU.”
Future Fashion only offers digital production, with no analogue/rotary technology. Imran commented “On the basis of my experience working in conventional and digital textile printing companies, I believe there is a significant split in the benefits for both methods of print. Digital productions are more precise, no limits on colours or design repeats. No wastage or issues with design registration. Digital production is labour efficient, needs less power and other utilities. Importantly it is sustainable and environmentally efficient in its use of valuable resources, such as water. On the other hand – Rotary production has a better colour yield, especially for solid grounds and blotches.”
“The future definitely belongs to digital, with the successful introduction of single pass machines - the quality issue has been resolved. In my opinion, when digital pigment inks are kinder to ink heads and are cost effective, then huge quantities of blended fabrics for Home Textiles will be shifted to the digital printing system, which I believe will be a revolution.”
We asked Imran why now was the right time to switch to digital production in Pakistan?
“As Pakistan is one of the top 5 countries in the world for cotton production, mainly exporting to global markets, it also has a huge local population of 250 million. This was the right time for Hunbultex to invest and in our digital production facilities, our investments in modern technology continue to secure the future of the countries printed Textile Industry. Many companies in Pakistan are following these steps and growing”.
How have your customer’s needs changed? What is the typical lead time for printed fabric in 2022?
“Interesting question – The needs of our customers have changed dramatically. Their expectations are high. Thanks to our investment in the BOLT single pass technology, we have been able to reduce MOQ’s and offer our customers a variety of designs. Lead times vary from company to company, Future Fashion has the capacity to print 100,000m of Cotton and Viscose fabrics daily and 6500m for Polyester. We offer 15 days delivery worldwide.”
Do you see a greater diversity in the patterns printed, with new designs building total meterage, rather than traditional volume meterage using single pass printing machinery?
“Digital printing has diversified the printed patterns immensely. With the single pass machines, MOQ’s have changed. The same quantities can be printed with more designs, and we can also mix SKU’s in the print run to include panel prints. In turn this has created a huge demand for designs, which has created a lot of jobs for creative designers and pre-press professionals”.
With ready access to on-demand printing we asked Imran if the fashion industry is serious about sustainable manufacturing, and will they accept that change requires a collaboration on margins between vendors/suppliers?
“They have to be serious and in fact they are, because I believe the biggest benefiters of all aspects of digitization, printing and processing - are the Fashion Industry. The future is sustainability, with unpredictable economic and environmental issues around the world – only sustainable manufacturers will survive. Fashion brands must also work on margins, and they must reset priorities. Digital printing has given new opportunities to small businesses allowing them to grow, customisation is in my view a big threat to brands.”
Imran added: “Future Fashion itself is based on Sustainability. The vision behind the emergence of Future Fashion was to provide high quality textile printing and processing services to the brands of Pakistan. The new company will also encourage new business. We have installed the latest technology and offer the market a sustainable solution that’s kind to the environment and our local eco-system.”
Future Fashion has set a new benchmark for all industrial Textile printers worldwide.
This futuristic vision and their substantial investment in digital technology (during the hard times of COVID) has ensured that they are equipped to succeed. Transforming Pakistan’s textile heritage to meet the needs of new era of sustainable textile production. We look forward to celebrating their continued success.
This is not simply a matter of faster machines.
It is a question of whether your production model - technology stack, workflow discipline, and quality control - is genuinely built for the realities of club and event merchandise.
Those realities are unforgiving: brand-perfect colour, flawless personalisation, licensing compliance, and turnaround measured in hours rather than weeks.
Colour Separation: The Craft Digital Textile Design Shouldn’t Forget
Textile designer Stephan Alker draws on more than 40 years in the industry, going back to his start at Transfertex in 1980, to trace how colour separation moved from drum scanners, hand-retouched films and engraved gravure cylinders to fully digital workflows.
He argues that this production knowledge still matters in the age of digital printing, because properly separated designs give brands far more freedom.
The Path Foward: Connect Every Link:
Design, colour, workflow, production, data. Each link now depends on the one before it, and the printers who will lead the market are those who strengthen the whole chain, not just the machinery at its centre.
So, this autumn, ask the bigger question on your own shop floor.
Not "Which printer?" but "How well does my business connect demand, design and production?"
Rebés's story isn't one of nostalgia - It's a working blueprint for how heritage manufacturers can stay indispensable in a market that rewards speed, certification, and specificity in equal measure. Four million metres of stock mean nothing without the digital printing capability to turn it into something distinctive.
A 150-year name means nothing without the R&D discipline to win a tender for antistatic, carbon-fibre-infused uniform fabric on the first attempt.

What if the next dress you wore never touched the factory floor?
This is no longer a fringe experiment. It is a maturing production model, backed by genuine material science, real circularity, and an AI-assisted workflow that is becoming more accessible by the month.
Her advice to designers and brands alike is refreshingly practical: start small, get hands-on with an accessible 3D printer, and build fluency before the technology becomes table stakes. The businesses that treat this moment with curiosity, rather than scepticism, will be the ones shaping fashion's next decade rather than reacting to it.
The 2027 FESPA Awards are now open for entry, and the message to businesses across textiles, apparel, interiors and beyond is simple: your work deserves recognition. Every gold winner featured here started in the same place every entrant does - with a project they believed was worth submitting.
As the only independent awards programme with 18 categories dedicated to print and signage, FESPA offers a genuinely global stage, with shortlisted entries displayed at FESPA Global Print Expo in Spring 2027.
Colour Is Too Important to Leave to Chance
Print will always be the part of the garment people see first.
But the sum of all parts — the fabric, the trims, the fasteners, the finish — is what determines whether a design actually delivers on its promise. Brands that continue to treat colour as a single creative decision, rather than a coordinated technical discipline spanning their entire supply chain, will keep paying for it in re-dips, delays, and disappointed design teams.
A Century of Textiles, and an Ever-changing World
Few companies can trace their roots back more than a century and still count themselves among their industry's innovators. Texia, headquartered in Monistrol de Montserrat, Spain, is one of them.
But the story of Texia is not simply one of longevity.
It is a story of continual reinvention. As the textile industry has grown more global and competitive, Texia has repeatedly reshaped its business, investing in technology, developing its own brands, and placing sustainability at the centre of its mission. In doing so, it offers a compelling example of how a heritage manufacturer can lead rather than follow through a period of profound industry change. Image Credit: Texia
What are we craving Ultimately?
The instinct to slow down while simultaneously optimising every measurable aspect of life isn't a passing curiosity. It's a structural response to a world that feels increasingly unstable, and it's reshaping what people expect from their homes, hotels, workplaces and healthcare environments alike.
For the design and manufacturing sectors, this means rethinking both product and process.
The Structual Shift is Real and its Already Here
Volumes are moving east, where digital production is accelerating rapidly. Consumer behaviour has shifted.
Demand is now driven by personalisation, shorter buying cycles, and an expectation of near-instant responsiveness. Regulatory pressure is intensifying, with supply chain transparency now a legal and commercial fact in many markets. And margins? They are under sustained, structural pressure.
This is not a temporary disruption. It is a fundamental reordering of how textile manufacturing must operate.
The Challenge: Standing Firm as the Industry Shifts
The wallpaper landscape has changed dramatically. Digital printing has lowered the barrier to entry, spawning countless direct-to-consumer brands and pushing much of the market towards faster, cheaper production.
At the same time, manufacturing in the UK has grown steadily harder - rising minimum wage, national insurance, energy and substrate costs all bear down on margins. Surface Print have embraced all of these challenges - and stand resolutely prepared for the future.
From Helsinki's printing mill to Paris's Le Marais, discover how Marimekko is scaling a design-led brand with purpose, craft, and bold innovation.
But what makes Marimekko's story compelling is not just its aesthetic legacy?
The word "toxic" carries weight. It conjures danger, harm, and things best avoided.
“Yet in the textile industry - Where between 3,000 and 10,000 chemicals move through the supply chain, a reflexive fear of the term is one of our biggest obstacles to progress.”
This article distils the key takeaways and what buyers, designers, and brands should be asking right now.
What Is the Digital Product Passport?
At its core, a Digital Product Passport is a digital record attached to a physical product - For a printed textile product, this means the DPP would capture data on the substrate, inks and dyes used, the printing process and technology, chemical compliance, environmental impact (including water and energy use), supply chain traceability, and end-of-life instructions.
The Market Gap that Changed Everything
Future Fashion was founded in 2019, timed deliberately to coincide with a pivotal moment in global textile technology: the commercial launch of the EFI Reggiani BOLT Single-Pass digital printing system.
The founders recognised that single-pass architecture had fundamentally changed what was industrially possible - and that Pakistan's domestic market had yet to catch up.
Print is no longer defined by the inefficiencies that once characterised it…as advances in production processes and technology have significantly improved its environmental performance.
Taran Rai, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Epson explains why?
The story of what happens when young designers access digital technology is still being written.
What once was a theoretical sustainability goal seems to have shifted into an active regulatory reality.
Is the Textile Market Finally Recovering?
After a difficult few years, there are genuine reasons for optimism. Duncan was candid about the challenges: "The market for textiles has been very difficult over the last three years. I'm not going to hide the truth there. But the tide is turning.“
A profound shift is currently reshaping the sector
Changing consumer expectations demand greater design diversity, faster turnaround times, and sustainable manufacturing practices.
To thrive, interior brands must adapt their supply chains, bringing production closer to the end consumer and moving away from bulk manufacturing.
Digital textile printing offers a definitive solution to these operational bottlenecks.
Digital transformation doesn't announce itself.
It accumulates - one innovation at a time - until an entire industry looks back and realises the ground has shifted beneath its feet. That's precisely where textiles stands today.
The conversations happening now about AI, automation, sustainability, and digital product passports are not theoretical. They are shaping decisions being made on factory floors and in boardrooms right now.
