P&P LIVE! 2026 Review
Debuting in style It was an incredible debut year for Heathrow Embroidery Machines at Printwear & Promotion LIVE! and the response was beyond what it could have hoped for. The company engaged with a huge number of visitors, and it
was a record-breaking response. One of the highlights was the diverse range of customers staff on the Heathrow stand met, from small business owners to large-scale distributors. The company says it cannot wait to build on this success in the coming months and get to work, starting new relationships and making new connections in the business.
It was a really good show for us. We
tended to find that diff erent people came to the show on diff erent days, and we had lots of interesting conversations, but it was a really good show for us.
We love coming to P&P LIVE! It is the UK show we do. It was really nice to see our clients’ friendly faces, but also speak to new people and showcase Kit Builder and what it can do for their business, and it’s really great to see what the industry is doing as a whole.
It’s great to be out of the off ice and speaking face to face.
– Laura Moss, digital marketing manager at Kit Builder

Making an impact CraftyJet made a confi dent impact at Printwear & Promotion LIVE! 2026, welcoming a steady stream of crafters, small business owners, and established decorators to its stand. Conversations ranged from start-ups launching their fi rst product lines to established operators looking to scale with more effi cient workfl ows. The ability to see the equipment up close, ask detailed questions, and assess print quality fi rst-hand proved invaluable for visitors weighing up their next investment. As part of the wider ecosystem backed by Resolute,
CraftyJet also benefi ted from strong cross-stand traffi c, with attendees recognising the strength and stability of the parent company behind the brand. With high engagement, strong sample interest, and meaningful conversations across all three days, stand C32 marked another important step in expanding the CraftyJet presence within the UK crafting and personalisation market.
Martin Lowe, head of marketing at Resolute – “We were delighted with the response to CraftyJet on stand C32. “There was genuine excitement around UV DTF and the opportunities it opens up for the crafting market. It was fantastic to meet so many ambitious businesses looking to launch new product lines or scale their operations, and to show them how accessible and commercially viable this technology can be.”
Gaining strong momentum Resolute returned from Printwear & Promotion LIVE! 2026 with strong momentum, high-quality conversations, and clear validation of its next-generation technology roadmap. Across the three days, Stand B20 welcomed a consistent fl ow of garment decorators, print professionals, and brand owners keen to explore what’s next in DTF. Live demonstrations created real engagement, with visitors able to see, feel, and compare the latest advancements fi rsthand. Launched at the show, the V9NP uses DuPont Artistri Jettable
Adhesive as a fantastic alternative to DTF powder. Visitors responded with great positivity to the softer hand feel, DTG-comparable fade-offs, and the reduced on-site footprint. For many, it represented a practical step forward in both sustainability and effi ciency.
Existing customers visited in strong numbers, sharing positive
feedback on reliability, print consistency, and ongoing technical support. New prospects expressed confi dence in the connected ecosystem approach, where print and fi nishing technologies work seamlessly together. With innovation validated, relationships strengthened, and new partnerships initiated, the show marked another confi dent step forward for Resolute and the businesses it supports.
Colin Marsh, managing director at Resolute – “We are absolutely delighted with the number of visitors to Stand B20 this year. The feedback from our existing customers has been incredibly encouraging, and the level of interest in our new generation of equipment shows that the market is ready for smarter, more connected DTF solutions. The conversations we’ve had put us in a very strong position for the year ahead.”
