Online business is booming. With consumers opting to shop from the comfort of their sofa, retailers are offering more fabric and wallpaper cuttings so that shoppers can buy for their home with confidence.
It has been much discussed socially, professionally and politically, but who expected a year like this? Through the whole of lockdown, Pike Textiles stayed open, never missing a day of despatching and fulfilling fabric and wallpaper cuttings orders.
Like many manufacturing businesses, when the lockdown struck in March, most of our colleagues went on furlough with a core crew keeping our pattern book operation running and sending out our daily fabric and wallpaper fulfilment samples.
Along with Fake News and Brexit, the Environment is a massive news story and now more than ever, individuals and businesses alike are committing to doing everything they can to minimise environmental impact.
Pike Textiles are delighted to offer cost-effective four colour printing on the back of your wallpaper samples. We can print a room shot image, inspiring the customer with how to use your designs, or a flat shot image, giving a clear vibrant impression of the full pattern repeat.
Times are changing in retail. The diminishing High Street is a sad sight in many towns, but online sales are soaring. Soft furnishings and upholstered furniture are two verticals experiencing growth in web-based sales.
It has been a busy year for Pike Textiles, not just with fabric pattern books, fabric hangers and wallpaper books, but fabric samples, wallpaper swatches and the fulfilment of these products are growing fast.
Many people comment on UK furniture fire regulations and that they are the most stringent in Europe, and many also question why this is the case.
