STAHLS’ Unveils Fulfill ONE Center

CHESTERFIELD, MICHIGAN (September 8, 2025) – The future of Print on Demand (POD) has arrived with STAHLS’ unveiling STAHLS’ Fulfill ONE (SF-1), a groundbreaking, first-of-its-kind fulfillment center poised to redefine the custom apparel and hard goods industry. By merging state-of-the-art decoration technologies with their revolutionary Fulfill Engine™ software, this cutting-edge facility delivers unmatched speed, sustainability, and precision, setting a new gold standard for print-on-demand production.

Disrupting the Print on Demand Industry

POD is the fastest-growing sector in garment and promotional product customization. The ability to produce exactly what’s needed, when it’s needed eliminates waste, reduces excess inventory, and streamlines fulfillment like never before. STAHLS’ Fulfill ONE is at the forefront of this transformation, empowering businesses with a seamless, tech-driven solution that accelerates growth and innovation.

Game-Changing Technology & Seamless Execution

At the heart of this revolution is STAHLS’ Fulfill Engine™, a next-generation software platform that connects brands, businesses, and e-commerce platforms with a vast network of decorators and production facilities. This is more than just automation, it’s a fully integrated ecosystem that offers:

• Unprecedented versatility by leveraging multiple decoration techniques including full-color one-off printed apparel, all types of patches from leather to embroidered, UV DTF custom drinkware, custom laser engraving and even web-to-print packaging and inserts.
• Custom printed wallpaper and wrapping paper.
• Real-time tracking & automation ensuring streamlined order management and rapid fulfillment.
• A launchpad for exclusive, cutting-edge apparel decoration methods, including LIQUID 3D™, the industry’s first 3D emblems printed on demand, available only at SF-1.
• Lightning-fast turnaround with most orders are produced and shipped within 48 hours.

SF-1 isn’t just revolutionizing POD; it’s setting the pace for the future of customization.

A Sustainable Revolution in Apparel Production

The fashion industry is at a tipping point. Every day, the world generates an estimated 92 million tons of textile waste annually, which translates to approximately 252,000 tons of garment waste per day. This waste comes from overproduction, consumer disposal, and unsold inventory, with much of it ending up in landfills or incinerators. With the apparel industry contributing 10% of global carbon emissions, sustainability is no longer optional, it’s imperative.

STAHLS’ Fulfill ONE is taking a stand against waste and overproduction with a zero-inventory, on demand model. Every product created has a purpose, ensuring nothing goes to waste. Sustainability is at the core of this innovation, with key initiatives including:

• Eco-friendly inks that reduce environmental impact.
• Recycling and repurposing materials for a circular production model.
• Energy-efficient production processes minimize carbon footprints.

By producing only what’s necessary, STAHLS’ is revolutionizing the way brands approach sustainability and setting a new precedent for ethical, efficient production.

A Legacy of Innovation, A Future of Possibilities

Founded in Detroit in 1932, STAHLS’ has built a reputation for pioneering advancements in heat printing technology. The new Chesterfield, MI facility is more than just a fulfillment center, it’s an industry hub where top brands, manufacturers, decorators, and suppliers come together to explore the future of production.

The location will also serve as a live innovation lab, showcasing the latest in decoration technology, hosting exclusive product testing, and featuring next-gen equipment from industry-leading manufacturers.

A Global Vision for the Future

STAHLS’ Fulfill ONE is just the beginning. With full capacity launch planned for September 2025, STAHLS’ is already looking ahead. Global expansion is in motion, with STAHLS’ Fulfill ONE EU set to launch in the next year, bringing the future of sustainable, on demand fulfillment to Europe and beyond.

With innovation, sustainability, and efficiency driving every move, STAHLS’ Fulfill ONE isn’t just a facility, it’s the future of Print on Demand.
