FESPA Preview
FESPA will be home to multiple big names across the printwear and printing industries
visitors can have a broader view of developments in graphics, industrial print, personalisation, signage and corrugated packaging – which may align with and support their textile business’s needs.
How does Textile build on FESPA’s previous textile heritage? FESPA has always had a textiles heritage, and this targeted event is the next step in that journey. For more than 60 years, our events have brought together screen and, later, digital printers producing textiles for fashion, sportswear, soft signage and interiors. In recent years, we’ve also added more content centred around sportswear, garment decoration and personalisation, reflecting how important these applications have become for the FESPA community.
Textile will allow us to cover the very specific challenges and opportunities that the sector faces today.
Visitors can expand textile connections via networking, also.
Can you tell us more about the conference programme? The FESPA conference will comprise
www.printwearandpromotion.co.uk
of a series of sessions, including panel sessions dedicated to the textile industry. The conference will take place across four days of the show and will highlight insights such as how to improve productivity and efficiency, minimise waste and reduce environmental impact, and make better use of data and workflow automation across the textile production chain. These topics will be covered by textile technology providers, printers, garment manufacturers, suppliers, garment brands and designers.
The conference will also include demonstrations on: end-to-end digital workflows, responsible material choices, circular models for textiles, and how to run textile production with flexibility and speed in mind.
What trends do you expect to surface at the Textile event? More and more textile businesses want to know how they can reduce waste and better manage their resources, so we expect sustainability to be a dominant topic at Textile. Visitors will be able to see inks and fabrics with lower impact,
ways to cut water and energy use in their production models that will help them address these needs. Another trend we are seeing is the move towards digital, agile and on-demand production. Companies want to know how they can offer shorter fashion cycles, grow their e-commerce platforms and adopt digital print, automated workflows and local or nearshore manufacturing.
As with previous years recently, we also anticipate seeing a lot of interest in personalisation and customisation, especially in sportswear, athleisure, merchandise clothing and interior décor. Textile businesses can gain a competitive edge by offering smaller runs, bespoke designs and faster delivery.
Textile will highlight how printers and brands are leveraging these trends, as well as the opportunities presented by customised products and collections.
