Embroiderer, printer and transfer manufacturer Lewis Print is among the new names for 2009, along with Etikettgruppen, a Swedish badge company. And returning for 2009 are clothing brands Hanes and FTP International, a workwear and leisurewear supplier.

Other confirmed exhibitors include manufacturers such as Beechfield Brands, Gustav Daiber GMBH, and Teamwear; distributors such as Blue Max Stag, Absolute Apparel, BTC activewear and Ralawise; and equipment and service providers such as TheMagicTouch, Novachrome and Your Embroidery Services - to name but a few.

Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the Printwear & Promotion Exhibition, which last year attracted over 4,000 visitors across the three days and securing its position as the definitive event for the garment decoration industry.

There were several new additions for 2008, which will be carried through to 2009 and built upon. This includes the seminar suite, which is to be expanded for 2009 following its overwhelming success at this year's show. The seminars proved to be hugely popular, attracting hundreds of visitors during the three days. Topics ranged from making the most of your embroidery software to growing a business with heat printing.

Robin Bull from Target Transfers, which helped co-ordinate the ‘Growing a business with heat printing' seminar by Mel Meibers, said feedback from the seminar was very positive.

The exhibition wouldn't be complete without the fashion shows, which will also make a return for 2009, providing the perfect opportunity for visitors to really get a feel for the garments - as well as enjoying the professionally choreographed routines.

The 2009 exhibition takes place in Hall 9 at the NEC from March 1 to 3.
