SPGPrints has started construction on a 700m2 Experience Centre at its global headquarters in Boxmeer, Netherlands. It is set to open on 4 September, and will be used by digital textile customers and end-user brands as a training and demonstration suite.
“The pressures on textile printers and brands today mean that understanding the new ways of production and distribution can make the difference between success and failure,” said Jos Notermans, commercial manager digital textiles, SPGPrints. “The Experience Centre was conceived to give both groups a clear and thorough picture of how digital textile printing not only ensures quality and delivery times, but shortens supply chains, reduces the costs of stock and warehousing, and makes a significant contribution to sustainability by cutting energy use and waste.”
PSPs will be able to take their own jobs and fabrics and print them, with SPG assistance, on a Pike or Javelin digital textile printers. Brand managers too will have the same opportunity to see digital textile printing in action.
