Last week, September 10-12, we had the opportunity to participate in the PRINTING United show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Members of our Sales and Product Development team were present in our booth at the show in the Las Vegas Convention Center and walked through the exhibits, meeting with our dealers and partners.
The PRINTING United Expo brings together representatives from all aspects of the printing industry under one roof. It’s a great place to access new applications, technology, and products.
The theme of the show was “Vintage Vegas.” We were in the Imaging Supplies Warehouse booth with several other technologies. Our booth was setting around the concept of a Vegas Wedding Chapel.
Monday was our set up day. Half of my luggage was samples; we brought with us a variety of products that can be achieved with sublimation. Throughout the week, visitors were excited to see our full wrap tumbler, shimmer cosmetic bag, and light up picture frame. We also showcased how easy it is to combine crafts and sublimation by adding a candle to a frosted glass mug. We had plenty of gold mugs with a silhouette of the Las Vegas skyline and poker chip ornaments on hand to give out to anyone who stopped by.
Throughout the convention, participants could participate in a variety of sessions and panels. Dimple Patel, our Chief Product Officer, was able to participate in a panel on the present and future of dye sublimation. It delved into the trends and innovations in the industry. This panel was early on day 1 of the Expo and got us off to a great start!
Most of our week revolved around the man in the bedazzled jumpsuit — Elvis was live in our wedding chapel. We had a lot of fun sublimating everyone’s photos with Elvis onto tote bags that were provided by Greentex.
Overall, we had a great week in Las Vegas. It was great catching up with our dealers and customers as well as meeting potential users too! We were glad to have this opportunity to show off the Sawgrass system; our ink, printers, and software.
We look forward to seeing everyone next October in Orlando, Florida.
