Most Sign & Display printers are aware of the ‘lateral’ markets available to them, thanks to many having screen or pad printing backgrounds. Tee-shirts and baseball caps are the most prominent opportunities. These can be brand using DTG or heat transfer or dye sub. This is also true for flags and bunting. All of these items can be produced quickly, on-demand. Australian Promotional Products Association has 5 Roadshows and 2 trade fairs planned for 2023.

Mutoh and Mimaki offer benchtop UV printers which can be applied to any object and left to cure for a long time. You can use your imagination to create phone covers, mouse mats or conference folders.
The APPA will engage in a busy schedule of trade shows and roadshows in 2023. This is in addition to the successful re-starting of events in 2022 due to pandemic restrictions. The Promo Show 2023 in Sydney’s Olympic Park will be the flagship event. It will run from August 16th-17th. NZ Promo Show, Alexandra Park, Auckland, will follow two days later.
APPA trade shows are a thriving tradition in the promotional products industry, and give distributors and suppliers a rare occasion to converge and conduct business in a face-to-face capacity. These B2B events are targeted at distributors and suppliers who supply products and services to the promotional products industry.
