Custom Gateway, a new exhibitor at the
Newtech roadshows, has described the Leeds
event at the beginning of November as “a
great success”.
“Newtech Shows are very focused exhibi-
tions with only relevant registered visitors.
Custom Gateway has just started exhibiting
at Newtech and the relaxed, almost one-to-
one format really helped us to explain how
the Custom Product Platform can work for
companies in all industries seeing the poten-
tial for on-demand and customised prod-
ucts,” commented the company’s Ian Bell.
He continued: “Custom Gateway offers a
platform and network for personalised or
on-demand products and we had a great
response from a diverse range of companies
who are keen to use our technology to en-
hance the service they offer their clients.”
Custom Gateway – previously Gateway
3D – has recently also completed a major
rebranding exercise to better reflect its cur-
rent focus.

Cottonridge goes for the burn (out) with
new fashion tees
Cottonridge has launched three new tees that will
be of particular interest to print shops operating in
the fashion arena. The Burnout Tee, slim fit Scoop
Back Tee and raw edge Slub Tee are said to be simi-
lar to the fashion styles that are currently popular
on the high street.
The company explained that the new T-shirts
complement its fashionable hoodie and sweatshirt
lines and are not designed to compete with stand-
ard promotional tees.
“The new tees are not your box standard T-shirts:
they are the same as those supplied to the Arcadia
Group – Top Man, River Island, etcetera,” Cotton-
ridge commented. “These styles will be of interest
to those print shops that are supplying the fashion
market, and with those businesses that are building
their own retail brands – particularly surf brands.”
The introduction of fashion T-shirts fits in with
Cottonridge’s corporate philosophy of introducing
only garments that are different to what is currently available in the marketplace.
Contact Cottonridge for further information and to request a sample pack.
