October 2024 – Weifang, China
Weifang Botai Textile is pleased to announce the installation of a new EcoPrint Digital Inkjet Printing Machine at our facility. The investment, completed in October 2024, represents our continued commitment to offering greater flexibility and faster service to our brand partners worldwide.
Digital printing allows us to produce custom patterns with lower minimum order quantities and shorter lead times – making it easier for brands of all sizes to bring their unique designs to life.
Over the past year, we've listened carefully to our brand partners. A recurring request stood out: "Can you help us with smaller, more customized runs?"
For brands testing new markets, launching seasonal collections, or offering personalized products, traditional screen printing often required MOQs that were simply too high. The investment in EcoPrint is our answer to that need — giving brands the flexibility to start small, test designs, and scale up as they grow.
| Before Digital Printing | Now with EcoPrint |
| High MOQs required for custom prints | MOQs as low as 50-100 pieces per design |
| Longer lead times due to plate making | Faster sampling and production |
| Limited to simpler designs | Any pattern, any color, any detail – perfectly reproduced |
| Printing often outsourced | All done in-house – quality controlled from start to finish |
Whether you're launching a new collection, testing a limited edition, or adding personalized designs to your product line, digital printing makes it possible – without committing to large volumes upfront.
Understanding the difference helps explain why this matters for your brand:
Traditional Screen Printing:
Digital Printing with EcoPrint:
For brands that value design flexibility and speed to market, digital printing opens up possibilities that simply weren't practical before.
The new EcoPrint machine can be used across most of our product range:
| Product Category | Examples |
| Baby Sleep & Bedding | Crib sheets, sleeping bags, swaddles, blankets |
| Baby Daily Care | Bibs, burp cloths, washcloths |
| Baby Apparel | Bodysuits |
| Baby Carriers | Wrap carriers |
From playful animal prints to brand logos, from soft watercolor effects to bold geometric patterns – if you can design it, we can print it.
(Note: Due to material compatibility, digital printing is not available for nursing pads at this time.)
Digital printing opens up new possibilities for many types of brands:
| Brand Type | How Digital Printing Helps |
| Startups & Emerging Brands | Test your designs with low risk, low MOQs |
| Established Brands | Launch limited editions, seasonal collections, or collaborations |
| Licensed Brands | Produce character-based prints without high setup costs |
| Personalized / Gift Brands | Offer custom names, dates, or messages on products |
Whatever your size or stage, digital printing makes custom products more accessible than ever.
Unlike traditional screen printing, which requires making plates for each color, digital printing works like a high-quality printer: the design is transferred directly onto the fabric. This means:
For brands focused on sustainability, digital printing also uses less water and produces fewer chemical byproducts than conventional methods.
We've been testing the new machine with sample designs, and the results speak for themselves.

Q: Can I send my own artwork?
A: Yes. We accept AI, PDF, or high-res JPEG files. Our team can also help adjust artwork for printing if needed.
Q: How long does a sample take?
A: With digital printing, sample turnaround is significantly faster — typically 5-7 days instead of weeks.
Q: Can I combine digital print with other customizations?
A: Absolutely. We can add woven labels, printed care labels, custom packaging, and more — all in one order.
Q: Is there a limit on colors or complexity?
A: No. Digital printing handles unlimited colors, gradients, and intricate details with ease.
"We've had many brand partners ask for smaller runs of custom-printed products – especially startups testing new markets, or established brands launching limited editions. With the EcoPrint machine, we can finally say 'yes' to those requests. It's a game-changer for how we work with brands."
