ROQ Digital offers a range of innovative solutions designed to streamline the digital
printing and fulfillment processes for your decorated apparel business. ROQ’s unique
Print-On-Demand Ecosystems are comprised of individual ROQ solutions working
together to create a powerful workflow that significantly boosts productivity and reduces waste for decorators who are looking to do more with less.
 
ROQ has developed TWO ecosystems to serve print-on-demand businesses based on
the size and scope of their operations as well as their clients’ needs. The READY to
GO OUT Print-On-Demand Ecosystem is a great fit for digital decorators just starting
out, those bringing lower volume DTG production in-house for the first time, or
businesses upgrading from less efficient table-top machines to a more modern
workflow. Enterprise-level decorators, established brands, or those in need of higher
volumes will be better served with the increased output speeds and enhanced
capabilities of the NOW PRINT, PACK & SHIP Print-On-Demand Ecosystem.
 
Read on to learn more and discover which ROQ Digital Print-On-Demand Ecosystem is
right for your business.
 

 

The ROQ READY to GO OUT Print-On-Demand Ecosystem is a compact,
comprehensive solution designed to optimize workflow and increase production
capabilities for web-to-print and print-on-demand decorators. Types of businesses that
would benefit from this system include:


Small to medium-sized operations: The ROQ READY Pretreat Press and ROQ
GO DTG create an optimized workflow, allowing smaller businesses to increase
their production capacity and efficiency.

Businesses with space constraints: The compact footprint of the READY to
GO OUT Ecosystem makes it ideal for businesses with limited floor space, as it
minimizes square footage while maximizing production capabilities.


Companies looking to expand their offerings: This solution enables
businesses to take on complex design projects, and higher color-count, and
shorter runs, potentially increasing revenue and expanding customer base.

By implementing ROQ’s READY to GO OUT Print-On-Demand Ecosystem, businesses
in the garment decoration industry can improve their production efficiency, expand their
offerings, and compete more effectively in today’s competitive marketplace.

The ROQ NOW PRINT, PACK & SHIP Ecosystem is an automated solution designed to streamline the entire production process from printing to direct-to-consumer packaging, making it ideal for companies that need to handle higher volumes and greater variability. This solution is designed for:


E-commerce custom apparel retailers: An online t-shirt company that allows
customers to design and order custom prints can benefit greatly from the ROQ
NOW system. With its ability to handle variable data printing and small-run jobs
at speeds of around 200+ pieces per hour, decorators can quickly fulfill many
unique orders without compromising quality.

Print-on-demand fulfillment centers: A fulfillment center that works with
multiple e-commerce platforms and drop shipping businesses can use the ROQ
NOW to automate their entire workflow. The system & ability to interface with ERP
production software allows for seamless integration with order management
systems, enabling the center to process, print, and package orders with minimal
human intervention.

Promotional product companies: A company specializing in promotional
products for corporate events or marketing campaigns can utilize the ROQ NOW
to quickly produce and package large quantities of customized items. The
system & high-speed production and automated packaging capabilities ensure
that tight deadlines can be met efficiently.

Enterprise-level screen printing decorators looking to expand: A growing
screen printing business can use the ROQ NOW to expand its offerings into the
digital printing market. The system & ability to handle both large runs and small
custom orders allows the business to diversify its client base and take on a wider
range of projects.

 

By implementing the ROQ NOW PRINT PACK & SHIP Print-On-Demand Ecosystem,
enterprise-level garment decorators can improve their production efficiency, expand
their offerings, handle garment variability, and compete more effectively in today’s
direct-to-consumer marketplace.

In summary, both the ROQ READY to GO OUT and the ROQ NOW PRINT PACK &
SHIP Print-On-Demand Ecosystems streamline and optimize the workflow process,
creating efficiencies at each step, from pretreatment to order management, and from
printing and curing to final packaging and shipping.
