Kornit’s Avalanche 1000 system
Kornit Digital’s Avalanche 1000 printing technology has been purchased by Amazon for large scale on-demand production for personalised garment decoration.
Digital textile printing technology company, Kornit Digital, has supplied Amazon with the Avalanche 1000. The system was chosen for the on-demand production of promotional textiles as part of the company’s recently announced Merch by Amazon program.
Amazon’s Texas-based facility has been a long-term Kornit user as part of Woot, an internet based retail program which offers deals on products including printed textiles. The facility has utilised other Kornit direct-to-garment printing systems for several years and added multiple new Avalanche 1000 units during 2015 to support Merch by Amazon.
Sarel Ashkenazy, Kornit’s executive vice president of sales commented, ‘State-of-the-art mass customisation means benefiting from the economies of scale while providing a customised, high-quality product to every single customer. Kornit has a reputation and solid expertise in this field, based on its vast worldwide installed base. Amazon has been a leader in e-commerce for decades, and we are honoured to be chosen as a technology partner for Merch by Amazon.’
