P&P LIVE! 2026 Review There was so much to see!
A flagship show for all garment and promotional product decorators, Printwear & Promotion LIVE! attracts so many visitors to its doors. We spoke to some of them while they walked the aisles, networking with exhibitors.
“It’s been informative, and it’s interesting to see it evolving. It was interesting to see it was all about DTF this year, and we are seeing different equipment to the forefront, but not much has changed, really. We come every year from sunny Sussex, and it is vibrant, interesting, and is what it is and always exciting. We provide teamwear and workwear.”
Vikas Chopra Head of production Premier Sports
“It’s good. I come every year, but this year feels like there is more to see. I haven’t been through to the sign part yet, but been around a few new machines and have spoken to a few suppliers I haven’t seen in a while, so it has been good. I came to see resolute DTG Midwest, and then on the clothing side, PenCarrie regatta BTC. We print and embroider mainly workwear, but also sportswear, promotional stuff and schoolwear, but the majority is workwear.”
Michael O’Brien Director Liverprint
“Really good, my ninth/tenth year coming. We meet our suppliers, meet other people who own businesses, and see what’s new and takes our fancy. We are a sport and schoolwear shop, but we do printwear, embroidery and trophies, everything that’s in here, so whether it’s corporatewear or what have you. We work with Beechfield brands. Happy Japan is our machines, and most of our suppliers we use are in this building. The show is really good, and we get money off bits we use with the show offers, so the idea is to come and have a look at what’s out there and what better offers we can get.”
Darren Fogg Managing director Chromasport
“It’s been really good. It’s seeming a bit quieter this year, but it has meant we can speak to people and speak to suppliers and have good conversations with people. We do printing and embroidery. We haven’t come to see anyone specifically, more to have a nosey and speak to Barudan, who my embroidery machines are from, but other than that it’s just for a catch-up and networking. Not specifically looking for anything new, just wanting to keep in contact with those we speak to.”
“NC: It’s been really good and great to see all the different companies that are here. We are quite interested in DTF and Embroidery, and it’s been amazing to look around it all. HO: It’s surprising to see how many suppliers there actually are, and it was a surprise walking around here. NC: The company as a whole has been around for 15 years; however, it is the first time we’ve been here as individuals. It’s a bit of an eye opener! Our boss always been away for the last few years, but he is away at the moment, so he tasked us to come and have a look. HO: We have been looking at price comparison, and we are new in our roles, so it is nice to see what we can give to the company as well. Our boss didn’t tell us anything about what to expect, but it has been incredible. NC: We’ve thoroughly enjoyed seeing our suppliers and everyone, but more so its been about meeting people and new companies to work with. We do embroidery and printing services for sportswear.”
