Feather Flags Trade boosts efficiency with VeloBlade Nexus

Jul 8, 2024 | Industry News

Facing rapid growth and increasing demand, Feather Flags Trade has invested in the cutting-edge VeloBlade Nexus digital die cutter, to enhance efficiency and maintain their industry-leading turnaround times.

Feather Flags Trade takes pride in providing trade printers with exceptional, high-quality feather flags and guaranteeing a 48-hour turnaround. Standing out as the only textile printer in the UK offering a same day production service on all products.

Josh Candy, director, said: “We are thrilled and excited about the versatility and automation the VeloBlade Nexus has brought. The potential is now limitless. The fabric-cutting tool has eliminated the need for hand-cutting, saving hours in production time.”

With over 13 years of experience, the skilled team collaborates closely with clients to design unique, eye-catching feather flags that capture attention. Only the finest materials and state-of-the-art printing technology are used to ensure flags are vibrant, durable, and long-lasting.

As Feather Flags Trade expanded into new markets, its main challenge was managing the increasing demand without compromising their 48-hour turnaround time. The finishing of thousands of orders was done manually, making it difficult to keep up with the growing demand. Therefore, deciding to invest in a VeloBlade Nexus Digital Die Cutting system (3.3x 3.2m) was an easy decision. An automated fabric-cutting solution that allowed Feather Flags Trade to continue expanding production while keeping it in-house, maintaining control over quality and delivery times.

Working with Vivid was desirable to Feather Flags Trade as a fast turnaround was needed to keep up with increasing demand. With Vivid, the company was able to have the system up and running within a month of placing the order.

Mr Candy added: “I am thoroughly impressed with the brilliant service I received! Nathan, in particular, was excellent. He assisted me immediately and resolved my query with remarkable efficiency. Vivid’s professionalism and expertise made the entire experience seamless.”

The implementation of the 3.3×3.2m VeloBlade Nexus has improved overall efficiency, allowing Feather Flags Trade to focus more on building business and expanding its exhibition stand portfolio.

The VeloBlade Nexus range of digital die-cutting systems is built for purpose and can be adapted to any required size, ensuring they meet the specific needs of each customer.
