The company demonstrated its latest heat press technology and transfer solutions to industry professionals seeking advanced decoration methods for custom apparel and promotional products.
The three-day event provided Insta Graphic Systems an opportunity to connect with screen printers, embroiderers, and custom apparel decorators while showcasing their comprehensive range of heat press machines and transfer technologies. Attendees visited the company’s booth to explore manual heat press options, automated heat press systems, and specialty equipment designed for various production needs.

During the expo, Insta Graphic Systems highlighted several key product categories that have gained significant traction in the custom decoration market.
