Light up fabrics
The company Philips has just introduced a new fabric which integrates LED lights into the actual fabric which light up. This fabric was engineered for the promotional products industry and will allow customers to custom design their own message to the garments. This will include fabrics for couches, hats, T-shirts, jacket and much more products that are made using fabrics. Like I had mentioned in my previous post last year most companies are moving forward into the digital age. Everything is going digital and custom programming will be required more and more in the future instead of graphic designers. Even though you may steal need a graphic designer to lay out the final design they will need to work together with an engineer to properly manufacture the final product. 2008 will bring us more lit up products to help the promotional industry step into a new era of marketing. Like everything else the price will probably be high rather than low but throughout the year I'm sure the product price will drop quickly.
