How One End-to-End Platform Is Fueling the Future of Print-on-Demand Apparel

The shift toward personalized apparel and small-batch production is accelerating, but so is the complexity of running a print-on-demand operation. With expanding product catalogs, procurement bottlenecks, costly shipping and high expectations for speed and accuracy, many apparel decorators are hitting operational limits.

GelatoConnect for Apparel changes that.

This expansion brings the full power of GelatoConnect’s AI-driven platform to on-demand DTF, DTG, embroidery production, and more – offering a single system for procurement, workflow, and logistics.
