Founded four years ago, Smart Crafts Supplies specialises in bespoke, laser-cut acrylic and personalised craft supplies. Building on its success, the company diversified to include high-quality craft blanks, supporting a thriving community of business-to-business clients. The addition of InkTec’s DTF and UV-DTF solutions is the latest milestone in the company’s journey to meet growing demand and increase production capabilities. By integrating InkTec’s DTF printers, inks, powder, and films into their processes, Smart Crafts Supplies now offers an expanded design range.

“As a relatively new business, it’s crucial for us to invest in high-quality equipment that supports long-term growth,” said Phillip Bradford, Managing Partner of Smart Crafts Supplies. “InkTec’s DTF and UV-DTF solutions were the clear choice for us. The durability, print quality, and compact design of their DTF Shaker were standout features, allowing us to integrate these printers seamlessly into our operations and establish reliable revenue streams.”

Bradford added that InkTec’s support team has been instrumental in ensuring smooth installation and training, further reinforcing the company’s confidence in their new equipment. Smart Crafts Supplies is now able to manage every step of production—from design and cutting to supply—under one roof, giving them full control over quality and turnaround times.

Sarah Hall, Consumable Sales Manager at InkTec, comments, “Smart Crafts Supplies is a fantastic example of how companies can leverage both DTF and UV-DTF technology to build a robust, adaptable business model. We’re seeing a wide range of companies using our products, from those already established in personalised printing to those exploring new revenue streams.”

InkTec’s DTF and UV-DTF ranges include compact printers with 60cm or 30cm print widths, as well as compatible films, inks, and DTF powder, all designed for easy integration into existing operations.
