CLARION EXPANDS FABRIC PRINTING CAPACITY

December 2011

Clarion Printed Products has increased its fabric printing capacity by 50% repositioning the print company as the largest retail graphic printer in the Western Cape.

Clarion has added a further 3.2m dye sublimation machine to its already significant fabric printing machinery division. The technology within the fabric division of dye sublimation ensures enhanced colour output as well as top quality retail graphic prints are produced.

"Taking our fabric equipment capacity from two 3.2m dye sublimation machines to now three 3.2m dye sublimation machines was a strategic decision to ensure we can service the ever increasing demand for fabric printing within the retail sector.

"With our dedicated fabric printing department that works 24/7 and print capacity we are able to offer our clients a quicker turnaround time on their retail graphics" says Caroline Currie, National Sales Manager for Clarion Printed Products.

Clarion offers a full fabric printing and framing solution with a dedicated fabric finishing department. Clarion has also appointed a dedicated finishing manager within its fabric division to ensure top quality finished product.

Clients that have entrusted Clarion with their retail graphics include giants Woolworths, Queenspark, Green Cross, Sunglass Hut and Truworths.
