Designers are empowered to produce custom garments without minimums.
It supports sustainable practices by reducing fabric waste and eliminating excessive inventory.
Common use cases:

The beauty here is in the freedom of expression — homeowners and designers can match fabric prints to moods, seasons, or even cultural inspirations, all without mass production limitations.
3. E-commerce Custom Products
In 2025, consumers crave products that are as unique as their personality — and that’s exactly what digital printing enables for online businesses.
Popular printed products:
Custom tote bags
Yoga mats with printed fabric tops
Printed laptop sleeves or apparel
Print-on-demand (POD) items like socks, bandanas, or aprons

How it’s applied:
Backdrops and stage decor
Table covers, bunting, and drapes printed with logos or themes
