Wild Thang make an investment of £120K to further enhance their current DTG printing machinery and ensure they continue to strive to deliver world class products and quality to their amazing clients across the UK, and the rest of the world.

Andrew Dwerryhouse, Wild Thang MD commented: 'Even in these incredibly challenging COVID times it is important to look ahead and continue to make important investments like this that will help us deliver our long term aspirational growth plans.

Even in times of economic uncertainly its incredibly important to have that dynamic and continuous improvement mindset because we understand if you are standing still and not adapting then the writing may already be on the wall for any company.

We decided as a team in order to survive and thrive as a company that we needed to continue to invest for the future. As a company we have a one solution mindset so this really compliments Direct To Garment equipment we already have in place but increases our capacity to a much more industrial level with the very latest high quality branding technology which of course will complement our large screen-print, embroidery and heat transfer departments.

Our amazing team undertook three days of training during the installation so have further enhanced their expert DTG knowledge and we are especially excited about the GTX machines environmental credentials with printer inks are manufactured according to Brother's exclusive formulation to provide the best possible results. These DTG inks are amongst the first to not only carry the Oeko-Tex® Certification, but also to be GOTS APPROVED and CPSIA compliant* to help ensure they are safe for printing and environmentally responsible.

For those who don’t know DTG printing it stands for Direct To Garment which is the process of using a modified industrial inkjet printer to apply digital designs directly to garment, it can print any number of colours to an incredibly high resolution meaning there are no longer any boundaries to create incredibly complex designs on short runs. This is the chosen method for on demand where we produce garments as one off or small orders as they are received which is incredibly flexible. We see markets changing and have demand for people to create partnerships where they don’t want to outlay big amounts in either stock or setups so this really opens another set of doors to give our clients yet another possible solution to their branding requirements.

We decided that we wanted to make the first job off the new DTG equipment a special one so we decided to support our friends over at MaxMade who will be taking part in a social distance Santa Dash in memory of Emily Jane Gore, Emily sadly passed away earlier in the year. Their team raised an incredible £5,329 with all proceeds being donated to Willowbrook Hospice. We hope you like our little video montage & photo's to celebrate this significant DTG investment and also to help promote the great fundraising initiative MaxMade are supporting.

After an incredibly difficult year with the impact of Covid we are now focused on Wild Thang looking to 2021 with great ambition and combined with the upcoming completion of our new development we believe the sky really is the limit for dynamic sales growth."

At Wild Thang you know we love all things big, huge, massive related to products we sell. Check out the world’s largest biggest ball point pen and its subsequent photoshoot in Hyderabad, India. The enormous pen was made by Archarya Makunuri Srinivasa (India) and part of its meaningfulness comes from the fact that it was inspired by a pen his mother gave him as a young boy. Engraved with scenes from Indian mythology, Archarya’s magnificent creation measures 5.5 m (18 ft 0.53 in) in length – about 38 times the size of a regular biro – and weighs a hefty 37.23 kg (82.08 lb 1.24 oz).

Research still shows that the printed pen is still king in terms of brand carrying merchandise for numbers produced throughout the industry, remember it’s not always about buying the cheapest plastic pen but the pen that will make the most positive impression and actually get used so you get a return on investment.

We just love living up to our nickname of a branding geek & have literally got bags of merchandise! Inspired by the fact that shopping like it or not is a big part of the Christmas festive season, did you know American and European patent applications relating to the production of plastic shopping bags can be found dating back to the early 1950s, but these refer to composite construction with handles fixed to the bag in a secondary manufacturing process.

The modern lightweight shopping bag is the invention of Swedish engineer Sten Gustaf Thulin. In the early 1960s, branded bags have come a long way since then with literally 1000’s of variations from a simple shopper to an executive leather laptop bag. Since the introduction of the 5p bag tax it would seem that bags for life and trendy cotton shoppers are the way forward when it comes to making a positive environmental impact which we all have a responsibility to take very seriously.

Statistics show variations of printed & embroidered bags are currently the most searched and purchased promotional merchandise products. If you would like to receive the 50 most searched promotional and corporate merchandise products just drop Wild Thang an email request. Please remember we are here to help with expert creative branded clothing merchandise and print advice. So why not take a look at the extensive range and literally bag yourself a bargain.

First and foremost I think it's important to say a big congratulations to Harry who I think won it by simply being himself which in this world of face & body beautiful is just so fantastic to see! I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here still has big pulling power of being one of the biggest TV programmes in the calendar and this year the huge figure of averaged audience of 12.6 million.

Wild Thang’s own personal excitement is with the merchandise in action and specifically the enamel mugs positioned on the desk in this photo as its one of the products we supply! From a marketing perspective if a product makes an appearance on TV or in the movies it’s well worth considering as a branding vehicle for your own campaign, promotion, gift or giveaway because you know there will be demand, you could even put a twist on it by saying I’m An Employee Get Me Out Of Here even though I love my job but we all have our moments ha ha.

Did you know branded and printed drinkware products consistently rank as one of the most purchased products for corporate merchandise, incentive or promotional items which in our view is down to the fact that market research shows it as one of the products recipients keep the longest, so it’s the promotion that keeps on promoting!

We just love this photograph, that in itself delivers impact without us even realising help the show get that brand consistency. When you get your own merchandise in action photo with your branded merchandise in clear view don’t forget to always think press release, sharing on all platforms of social media and in publication print for any marketing or promotional events.
