The Power
of Human
Creativity
THIS SAME TIME last year I wrote that while the
aftershocks of the pandemic were continuing to make
themselves felt, the decorated apparel industry
looked poised to have a great 2023. I confess when
I wrote these words I assumed (hoped?) that with
the worst of the pandemic behind us, the world
would get back to " normal " for a while. However,
as anyone paying attention knows, it seems the
new " normal " is anything but.
Luckily, for all the craziness, both in Washington
D.C. and beyond, the decorated apparel
industry has had a blockbuster 12 months and then
some. Not only have all three Impressions Expos in
Long Beach, California; Atlantic City, New Jersey;
and Fort Worth, Texas, surpassed their pre-COVID
numbers in terms of exhibitors and attendees, the
overall " vide " has been outstanding. On the supplier
side, orders are strong. On the decorating
side, existing companies have shown healthy growth
at the same time legions of newbies continue to
P.5
As for the Sourcebook you now
hold in your hand, it continues
to keep chugging along as well.
Despite the supposed " demise "
of print, demand for it remains
strong, as is evident in the way
it literally flies off the shelves
at our three expos-no great surprise
given there's no better
way to create a new network or
expand an existing one than by
referring to the more than 800
industry suppliers it contains or
referring to its Product Preview
section, beginning on P. 9.
Which brings us to this year's
prediction: While the craziness
of this world continues to make
itself felt-the same as it has
since the dawn of time-it's still
safe to say there's no stopping
the decorated apparel industry.
Human beings, by their nature,
are innately expressive and creative.
And whether it's the best
of times or the worst of times,
that's a tough thing to keep a
lid on. 
