As suppliers of what The Times called 'the ubiquitous tea towel' specially printed to commemorate the wedding of Prince Charles to Camilla Parker-Bowles, the media were seeking to portray the recent change of wedding day as 'a disaster' for suppliers of such memorabilia.

'Far from it' said Sales Director Tim Steer - 'we had already sold out of the initial batch printed with the original date, and now, due to the fact that we are able to make detail changes like this and have new product out in the market place within a matter of hours, new orders coming in are being printed and should be out in good time for the big day.'

Supreme Creations are one of the largest screen printers of promotional cotton products in the UK, and are almost uniquely placed to be able to respond to situations where competitive price and fast turn-around is essential.

'Most souvenir items are imported from the Far East or Asia, which inevitably increases turn-around times due to the distance' says Tim. 'Our in-house design and print team can make design alterations and engrave screens in minutes and, as we have vast ready-made stocks of the product in stock, getting the product into print quickly is then merely a matter of bribing the Production Director!'

Incredibly, due to the products with the incorrect date on already being featured in The Times, Guardian, and Independent newspapers, and such TV programs as BBC News and Bargain Hunt, there has also been a considerable interest from the buying public who are now actively seeking products featuring the 8th April date.

'No problem' said Tim with a glint in his eye 'we'll just set up another print run with the old date on!' For further information contact Supreme Creations on 0845 230 5996 or visit www.www.supreme-creations.co.uk.
