This is a quality item that is crying out for some decoration,” says the brand. “Our fairtrade sales have grown year on year and the introduction of our W801 and W810 styles last season were an immediate success.

TheMagicTouch says mugs remain one of the top promo items
TheMagicTouch
It’s not just T-shirts!
TheMagicTouch is keen to make printers realise that, while T-shirts and apparel remain a major part of the decoration market, there are a large number of other products that offer the same great marketing appeal and can be decorated using the company’s image transfer solutions.
“Over recent years the demand for short-run decorated umbrellas has increased, especially as customers are no longer subjected to high set-up costs, minimum orders and can enjoy quick order turnaround using TheMagicTouch transfer process,” says the brand. “Equally, having the ability to decorate sports bags and holdalls opens many new potential markets that again had been restricted due to the same issues experienced with the umbrellas.”
One of the top promotional products worldwide remains the decorated mug, reports the brand. Its White Toner technology offers people the ability to print any colour mug with any colour design. The company has more than 24 years of experience in the UK offering its services and continues to supports all products and applications with what TheMagicTouch says is its “outstanding technical and customer support”.
