Welcome back to another episode of the Garment Decorators Podcast. This week, Andy and Molly are joined by Zazie Hillsden, Brand Manager at Bella + Canvas. Bella + Canvas have some very exciting new products for the print industry in 2024 and Stahls' UK is thrilled to get the exclusive on these for our listeners and heat printers across the industry.

Staying on top of trends and being able to offer your customers something different is what separates you as a heat printer from your competitors. In this week's Podcast, Zazie talks all about Bella + Canvas' new Baby Tee Collection, which consists of 7 new womens garments. The collection is inspired by the 90s and Y2K fashion trends we've all seen across retail in recent months. Bringing the highstreet trends to the print industry.

We all know how important sustainability is to the print industry and our customers, and there are no signs of it slowing down. Bella + Canvas have introduced a new product into their collection, the new Eco Tee. Made from the scraps of the best selling 3001 t-shirt and 6 plastic bottles! Not only is this product reducing waste and dyed without water, it's super soft finish and ease to print on is already a success across the print industry.

We also got the exclusive on the yet to be released Boxy Tee, a new heavy-weight style from Bella + Canvas which will be available in the coming months to UK customers. Weighing in at 205 gsm, and coming in 10 different colours, this product is a must have for your business in 2024.

This week, Andy and Molly are talking to Andy from AWDis Brands about the new, best-selling products he's been working on. From the new heavyweight hoodie that sold out within days to new printable sliders for summer, plus lots of other new releases, AWDis has everything covered for 2024.

The JH120 was released in early 2024 and is one of the fastest-selling hoodies on the market. The Stahls' team proudly wore them to the Printwear and Promotion Tradeshow in February, but not without a favour called to Andy at AWDis to supply them as the stock was selling so quickly! These new boxy hoodies are 70% Ringspun cotton, 30% Recycled polyester and at 440 gsm they have the ultimate premium feel to them. Andy tells us all about why AWDis introduced this hoodie to their range and gives us a Podcast Exclusive for new colours and styles coming very soon!

The JC092 Sliders have been all over the apparel decoration scene since February since we carried out an activation with them, printing live on the Stahls' Stand at P&P LIVE. Released just in time for garment decorators to add them into their product offering for summer 2024, these sliders are available to purchase at just £4.99 a pair. With a small Custom Heat Transfer or HTV decoration, the profit margins on these is significant! An excellent way to increase revenue from your heat press this year. During this episode, hear about how these products came to life and the Heat Press Platen that makes printing them super easy!
