Go Digital with Your Garment Business
With so many digital production options on the market, it's been tough to get a complete, hands-on perspective ... until now! SGIA evens out the direct-to-garment digital learning curve with a workshop that addresses your questions and concerns about adding digital capabilities to an apparel production line.

SGIA's Direct-to-Garment Digital workshop exposes you to today's leading apparel decorating technologies:

• Direct-to-garment platforms
• Digital desktop and large-format sublimation
• Digital print-and-cut vinyl applications
• Digital heat transfer systems

The two-day seminar includes the latest digital platforms, one-on-one time with the experts and the chance to review your artwork samples on all the systems being reviewed. Also included is a review of "Best Practices — Digital Printing," a wide-ranging review of ways to eliminate costly workflow errors and maximize employee productivity. You’ll take away the skills and knowledge to make sound decisions for technology purchases and production issues — plus the confidence to enhance your garment operation's abilities.

Learn:

• Critical questions to ask equipment suppliers
• Digital workflow and resource management
• Market reviews — short-run cotton, performance apparel, boutique and direct-to-consumer
• Investment levels and cost controls
• Costing, pricing and profit analysis
