Stahls’ Decorating Fulfillment Center heat printing team had the opportunity to show how to fulfill decorating for a hot event recently during the 2015 NHL All-Star Weekend held Jan. 23-Jan. 25 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
The action started Friday, Jan. 23 with NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft presented by DraftKings. As team captains Nick Foligno of the hometown Columbus Blue Jackets and Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks took turns choosing players, the Stahls’ DFC team was busy printing the jerseys that each player would wear as well as a large number of replica jerseys that would be offered for sale Saturday and Sunday. These sold out.
Carl Agosta, key accounts sales and licensing, Stahls’ Decorating Fulfillment Center, who has years of on-demand heat printing experience in high-stress situations, said the team really stepped up to heat print about 500 jerseys. Production started at 9:30 p.m. Friday when names were announced and continued until about 5 a.m. Saturday morning. Custom on-site printing also took place during the competition on Saturday night and the game on Sunday.
