2018 REGGIE Awards Finalists
Aaron: Nearly 200 nominations this year, so thanks everyone for turning out. Again, just a reminder, we have nothing to do with the nominees. We don’t pick them, or decide one over the other. The people/companies who were nominated the most times are the ones who will be vying for the REGGIES
1) Best New Product
Bling Anything (The Rhinestone World)
Embrilliance Stitch Artist 3D foam underlay
Epson F2100 DTG Printer
The Design Wizard Software from TRW
WALAKut Express from HTW
Others Receiving Nominations:
996MR – really has played a key role this year because of the fleece outages
Allmade T-shirts
Bwm Hopkins Flood Bar.
Coloreel – It hasn’t landed yet, but it’s very interesting. It’s a thread dying system that colors a polyester thread while it’s being stitched on the machine so that you only ever spool up one cone of white thread and use one needle to achieve logos. If it holds up, there’s some real potential there for a certain segment.
