In the ever-evolving print-on-demand (POD) space, UK-based T-Shirt & Sons has redefined fulfillment efficiency and eco-conscious printing by integrating Kornit Apollo, a next-gen smart DTG production system. Known since 1989 for delivering quality and sustainability, the company faced increasing pressure from surging online orders and a need to scale without compromising standards.
According to Adam Golder, Managing Director, “We had the vision, but lacked the tools—until Apollo.” Faced with operational bottlenecks and mounting demands, T-Shirt & Sons turned to automation with intelligence.
The Kornit Apollo platform offered a seamless shift to high-speed, data-driven production. More than a hardware upgrade, it’s an end-to-end fulfillment solution—from order entry to shipping label. Integrated software, real-time data dashboards, and automation enable the company to now process over 35,000 garments daily, with near-zero errors.
Key outcomes:
-
Dramatic reduction in turnaround times
-
Enhanced quality control
-
Waste and water use significantly minimized
-
Real-time analytics for continuous optimization
Golder likens the transformation to “flying a plane on autopilot”—a smoother, smarter operation with full visibility and control.
This evolution isn’t just a company milestone—it’s a blueprint for the industry. T-Shirt & Sons proves that sustainability, speed, and scale can coexist, setting a new POD standard driven by innovation.
