QTCO, Australia’s highest-volume fulfiller of digital direct-to-garment (DTG) imprinted apparel, has installed an additional two Kornit Avalanche HD6 systems for on-demand production. The move follows QTCo’s increased order volumes in recent months, which management attributes to the company’s rapid delivery times and increased web-driven business resulting from COVID-related precautions and regulations.
Having grown since its inception 25 years ago, QTCo provides a diverse array of DTG, screen printing, and sublimation services for apparel, headwear, bags, drinkwear, and promotional products, with clients encompassing major apparel brands, independent e-tailers, and private consumers.
Investing in Kornit Digital technology has empowered the business to guarantee customized pieces are shipped within 48 hours, making small orders profitable “We could see market opportunity in short run, on-demand printing—run lengths were consistently coming, and customers wanted their jobs in less time,” said Darren Fraser, Managing Director, QTCo. “The Kornit systems had the industrial scale needed to make the switch to digital a success.Kornit’s single-step, eco-friendly platform for on-demand DTG fulfilment is well-suited to that new market landscape.”
Fraser noted QTCo has supplemented its Kornit DTG systems with popular web-based design and POS platforms, which further streamline the end-to-end process, eliminate errors, minimize time to market, and free up resources for continuous investment in operations.
