Spreadshirt, the self-expression global e-commerce company, has investment plans of a total of up to $10 million on print technology over the next 2 years.
The company, working with Kornit Digital, will renew and enlarge its printing machinery to handle increased demand and to expand into new categories.
In addition, it will set new standards in print quality and delivery times.
Spreadshirt printing more than 5.5 million items annually, recently launched a division for third-party fulfilment that is already seeing rapid growth. The company also plans to expand into polyester sports clothing.
Spreadshirt prioritizes quality and customer satisfaction and will be investing in Kornit’s most innovative print technologies in order to meet the highest quality standards and deliver fast turnaround to their customers, while increasing productivity and efficiency.
With that in mind, Spreadshirt has started testing digital direct printing on polyester products with the Kornit Digital Avalanche Poly Pro.
The machine is located in Spreadshirt's R&D center at the Headquarters in Leipzig and is one of the first ever installed in Europe.
So far the tests are looking very promising as the Spreadshirt staff put the Avalanche Poly Pro through its paces.
Spreadshirt has been testing the Kornit Avalanche Poly Pro, as they plan to expand their business into the lucrative and growing sports and athleisure segments.
The Kornit Avalanche Poly Pro is the industry’s first digital, industrial process for high-quality printing on polyester, preventing dye-migration.
The solution is based on Kornit’s patented NeoPoly Technology.
As Omer Kulka, Kornit’s VP of Marketing and Product Strategy, commented in September, “Our mission is to reinvent the garment and textile printing industry with game-changing technologies. It is exciting to see this mission come to life, with visionary customers like Spreadshirt who innovate to open new markets and new business opportunities, all while being more operationally efficient.”
