Our listeners (Regulators) do cover a broad spectrum, but for anyone unfamiliar, can you explain UV printing technology to our listeners? Aaron: What are the ideal applications for UV printing, and are there scenarios where it's not the best fit? Terry: How can UV printing complement other decoration methods like screen printing or embroidery in a shop's offerings? Aaron: What are some common challenges print shops face when integrating new technologies, and how can they overcome them? Terry: What role does automation play in modern print shops, and how can businesses start implementing it? Aaron: How do you see the future of on-demand manufacturing evolving, especially concerning UV printing? Terry: What advice would you give to a print shop considering diversifying their services with UV printing? Aaron: Looking ahead, what innovations or trends in UV printing and workflow optimization are you most excited about? Aaron: Where can our listeners learn more about your business and connect with you?

  • Why Sustainable Merch Matters: Beyond the Summit

    Why Sustainable Merch Matters: Beyond the Summit
    May 16 2025
    This week on the 2 Regular Guys Podcast, we’re joined by Jay Busselle from the Branded Merch Network and Theresa Hegel from ASI to discuss a topic that deserves more attention across the industry—sustainability. We’ll explore why so many leaders in our space are dedicating serious time and energy to creating sustainable solutions and how these efforts go far beyond a single event. Along the way, we’ll highlight the upcoming Why It Matters: Sustainable Merch Summit and what attendees can expect from this free, virtual experience. Whether you’re a solo decorator or running a large production shop, this conversation is packed with insight into why sustainable merch isn’t just a trend, it’s a necessary shift for the future of our industry.

Terry: Why is that?Aaron: Because they are exhausting. Sustainability Aaron: Welcome to the show today Jay and Theresa. You’ve both been on the show enough times that we don’t need introductions. But I want to dive right into this topic of sustainability. Sustainability is a big buzzword these days. Why is this conversation so urgent for our industry right now, Jay? JAY: Because we’ve run out of time to treat sustainability like a side project. Our industry—promo, print, apparel—is built on physical products. And that means we’re in the hot seat. We can’t ignore how things are made, the resources used to make them, where they come from, or where they end up. More buyers are demanding better answers. More brands want to align their merch with their values. And if we can’t provide answers—or worse, if our answers feel hollow—we lose relevance. This isn’t just about being green. It’s about building trust, staying competitive, and doing business that aligns with people, planet, and prosperity. Theresa and how is this playing out in the promo world? THERESA: I would agree with everything Jay said. I’ve been writing about sustainability in promo for the last three years (www.promofortheplanet.com) and we’re increasingly seeing suppliers step up, by publishing annual impact reports – sharing detailed data about the progress they’re making. There are also more options out there for sustainable products – whether it’s a tote bag with a digital product passport, detailing its sustainable supply chain, notebooks made from certified recycled materials or a reusable water bottle that helps fund ocean cleanups or has some other robust giveback element. (As part of Promo for the Planet, we have a regularly updated list called the Do-Gooders Directory, where we publish suppliers’ and distributors’ giveback programs, corporate social responsibility initiatives and sustainability certifications. … And if you’re not on it, but think you should be, reach out to me at thegel@asicentral.com.) I think we still have a long way to go as an industry – there’s definitely a lot of greenwashing happening, either intentionally or due to lack of education – but we’re heading in the right direction. Terry: Before we get into the upcoming summit, can you both tell us from your vantage points, what are the biggest misconceptions decorators or promo professionals still have about sustainable practices Theresa? THERESA: “Sustainability just means eco-friendly”: We often break it down to the triple bottom line of people, planet and profit.

When you have “upstairs Tylenol” and “downstairs Tylenol” Outsourcing Production Terry: Zach, rather than read a canned bio, tell us a little about yourself and how you found your way to this industry. Aaron: Let’s start with the big picture—why do you believe outsourcing is such a game-changer for today’s decorators? How do you recommend finding trustworthy contract decorators or POD partners for someone just getting started? Aaron: What are the most common concerns or myths you hear about outsourcing, and how do you respond to them? Terry: How should decorators price their products when using a contract or POD model while still staying profitable? Aaron: How can outsourcing free up more time or resources for business growth, especially in sales and marketing? Aaron: What’s one piece of advice you'd give to a shop owner who's hesitant to give up control of production but knows they’re stretched too thin?Terry: Where can our listeners connect with you and learn more about the tools and resources DecoNetwork customers have access to?
