Printwear & Promotion LIVE 25 Recap By Stahls' UK
Missed Printwear & Promotion LIVE last week?
The Stahls' UK stand was a vibrant beacon of superhero themed colour, drawing customers in the secoind they stepped through the entrance. The Stahls' UK Cube hung from the ceiling and shone brightly like a lighthouse guiding safe passage for boats at sea.
Stand Tour:
This year Stahls' showcased a vibrant comicbook themed exhibition booth for Printwear & Promotion LIVE. Each corner of the booth drew attention to a particular heat printing product. Going in a clockwise rotation from the front desk, the first corner showcased UltraColour MAX DTF, then Stahls' CAD-CUT HTV, then InkTra Screen Print heat transfers, then UltraColour PRO along with some sportswear such as Barcelona FC Football Jerseys.
At the center of the booth stood our curved reception desk where customer collected their exclusive show sample packs from. On each corner of the booth, perforated pegboard-style panels showcased printed apparel, including hoodies, shoes andt-shirts with eye-catching designs.
The surrounding area was filled with the Hotronix heat press range. The vibrant blue, purple carpet contrasts with the red of the standard carpet, making the booth stand out in a busy exhibition hall.
In this video, Andy shows you round the stand and fills you in on whats new for 2025.

This year the Stahls' UK booth fused exclusively InkTra and UltraColour Pro heat transfer products to showcase the ease of switching to premium hot peel clear carrier product. The response was overwhelmingly positive with customers stating that the colour intensity of both heat transfer products was impressive and the speed of the alignment using the clear carrier combined with the hot peel was 'life-changing'.
The Stahls' UK stand also showcased a 'Hat Bar' activation for the first time too! Customers were encouraged to come to the hat bar, fuse their unofficial P&P25 Cap, take a selfie and tag us in it on socials to win some free custom heat transfer credit.
It's safe to say that lots of free heat transfer credit was given away throughout the 3 day event! The response to the hat bar was incredible with lots of cap selfies being tagged. We also planted 10 Golden Envelopes around the exhibition hall over the 3 days encouraging our attendees to go on a treasure hunt to try and snag some larger heat transfer credit vouchers.

Education
This year was a bumper year for heat printing education thanks to Andy and Molly's busy talk schedule. Not only did Molly have 2x sessions doing part 2 of the very popular 'How To Market With No Marketing Department', but Andy had 2x scheduled sessions for his 'How To Save 86 Working Days', 1x Sign & Digital Panel and 1x Sign & Digital talk on branded apparel.
On top of all of this, the marketing team went LIVE from the stand each day to launch and talk about the new products and finished the show off with a LIVE podcast from the front desk!
Last but not least, we got to spend 3 days with all our favourite suppliers meeting both old and new customers!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by stand D30 to say hello, get hands on, take a sample pack and see the new products. We are just a quick phonecall, message or email away if you have any questions. We are excited to work with you all going forward into 2025.
