P&P LIVE! 2023, the UK’s only national exhibition for the garment decoration industry, will open its doors on Sunday – will you be there?
More than 5,000 visitors from all corners of the industry will be attending Printwear & Promotion LIVE! to learn more about garment decoration, seek inspiration, and explore and discover new products. Whether it’s school uniform, leisurewear or matching styles for kids and grown-ups, P&P LIVE! offers garments designed and created especially for teens, children and babies.
Schoolwear
On the school uniform front, schoolwear manufacturer One+All (A40) will be showcasing its new The Making Of brand. Find out the story behind products in this range by speaking to the team on the stand. New garments are being added to this collection throughout 2023, so watch this space. One+All will also be showcasing its range of Eco Ties and Eco Blazers.
This year will also see Chadwick Teamwear (C22) (pictured above) launch the largest number of new stock products in the brand’s history. Chadwick’s Core and iGen ranges are ideal for team sports kits. Unlined training shorts and a showerproof jacket will join the Core range in black and navy, while navy/royal is a new colourway being added to the iGen range. Chadwick is also introducing a new rucksack to its stock range that is ideal for school and teamwear.
Dedicated schoolwear brand AWDis Academy (F2) will be exhibiting its seven key styles for primary and secondary schools. Products in the collection range from raglan crewneck sweatshirts to cardigans, available in 15 classic school shades.
Babywear and childrenswear
A visit to the Larkwood stand (E32) will present a world of super-soft baby and toddler leisurewear. Styles in this collection can be perfectly matched with products in Henbury Brands’ adult ranges to create twinning across ages.
New for 2023, Danish brand Tee Jays (E50) has introduced the Junior Power Hoodie, which joins the brand’s Power Series. This heavyweight hoodie uses 70% organic cotton and is Tee Jays’ first move into the childrenswear market.
For high-quality baby clothes, visitors should head over to Cute & Cuddly Babywear (J32). All babywear items, including bodysuits, T-shirts, trousers and lounge sets, are proudly manufactured in the UK. Items are made from 100% fine-combed cotton, with organic cotton options also available.
This is just a handful of the childrenswear and schoolwear products that will be on display at the exhibition. All of these products are supplied blank and ready for you to add your own branding.
Furthermore, if you need a little help with the branding element, exhibitors at Printwear & Promotion LIVE! will be able to assist with labelling and packaging.
