Textile printing

In his own company, he began to offer not only textile design, but also textile printing using the sublimation process. In this production method, ink is printed on paper, which is then placed on the fabric and worked into the fabric with hot irons. Unfortunately, his 3 biggest customers bailed out and started their own production. This forced Rafael to develop a new distribution model. He now offers a kind of club membership for small businesses to retain customers and offer them support that they would otherwise not be able to afford or have the necessary skills. Rafael develops an attractive selection of garments and provides a digital catalog. Club membership is required to order.

Rafael realized that he needed support with the company's organization, financial control and strategic direction. That's why he turned to the BPN Foundation. Rafael reports that his mindset has already changed since working with BPN. With clear goals in mind, it will be easier for him to achieve them. In the future, he plans to make textile production more attractive to larger businesses and schools with creative overall solutions and larger sublimation formats.
