The Sign Africa and FESPA Africa Johannesburg Expo, where industry meets opportunity, is taking place from 8-10 September 2026. Experience how digital printing can be used to produce a wide range of décor applications that transform interior spaces. 

According to Ilisna Lane, Sales Manager Southern Africa at NUtec Digital Ink, there is much happening in the world of décor from a digital printing perspective. ‘Dye sublimation continues to be a big trend in the décor space, giving consumers the opportunity to customise their interior décor, whether it’s for cushioning, curtaining, wallpaper or upholstery. Another noteworthy application is interlocking PVC tiles made from recycled PVC: custom-printed interlocking vinyl floor tiles that transform commercial spaces.’

‘Printed tiles is the space to watch out for, especially for those wanting to customise their kitchen splashbacks. Being able to offer custom tile-printing opens up an entire new space within the décor industry.’
