Rafa’s Textiles personalises t-shirts and all kinds of clothing with screen printing, direct (digital) printing, silkscreen transfer, sublimation, and embroidery, serving European-based B2B clients who sell via web stores, both integrated with Amazon and independently. There are no colour limitations, and hand feel and durability are retail-quality. On a typical day, they will handle 200-300 print-on-demand orders, though those numbers spike with key holidays; this past Christmas, for example, saw a peak of 1,300 orders in a single day. Regardless of volume, with digital production capabilities in house, these orders are printed individually within 24 hours and shipped directly to all customers.

“We chose the Kornit system mainly because of its pre-treatment system, which increases production capacity,” Sergio Alfaro Lloret, technician at Rafa’s Textiles, said in a press release. “When we found out about this new system whereby you put the shirt on and the pre-treatment was done inside the same machine, we immediately thought the time saving was enormous. The quality is even better than screen printing, and they are totally ecological, so everything is perfect.”

For Rafa’s Textiles, implementing Kornit’s digital production technology was simply the best means to meeting the challenges and capitalising on new opportunities of the e-commerce age. Sergio attributes his business’s success despite recent market disruptions to their focus on e-commerce, which aligns with buyers’ increased preference for web-based purchasing.
