DIGITEX-PLAS

This project involving 8 companies (4 textile companies and 4 plastics/toy companies) and the AIJU and AITEX technology centres aims to research and develop new processes and products enabling rationalisation of digital printing on textiles and plastic materials. [...]

DecoraToy – Customised decoration of toys

Toy industry trends show that products are increasingly required with a higher degree of customisation in shorter production times. Improvement in the techniques of decoration/finishing of items largely facilitates the work involved in solving technical problems and costs to satisfy these trends. [...]
