Look our for industry-leading companies like M&R, SPSI and ColDesi, and the many products and services they provide
Among the more than 122 exhibitors expected to attend, over 30 will be new to the show, returning after a hiatus or increasing their booth space
The upcoming Impressions Expo in Dallas, Texas, set to take place Oct.21-23 is not only going to be one of the biggest ever: it’s also raising the bar with respect to the number of companies either exhibiting for the first time; returning after having been away a few years; or dramatically increasing the size of their company’s presence there.

Among the latter is veteran equipment and supplies provider SPSI (Booth #777, spsi.com). Based in Minnesota (with an Arlington, Texas, office as well), the family-owned business with more than 50 years of experience in the industry, will be doubling the size of its booth in 2026 to help accommodate the wide range of products and services it offers—including not just a wide range of embroidery, direct-to-film (DTF), screen-printing and digital printing equipment in general, but consultancy, financing and training services as well.
“Today, SPSI is entering its next phase of growth, and we’re excited to showcase the next evolution of our company, our team and our industry partnerships in Dallas,” SPSI said. “As technology, markets and opportunities have evolved, so have we, continually adapting to help our customers perform at a higher level, remain competitive, and build more profitable businesses… At the center of that evolution is the same commitment that has driven SPSI for decades: service. We believe the right equipment is only the beginning. Our focus remains simple: provide the products, service, expertise, and ongoing support that help our customers produce more efficiently, operate more profitably, and confidently pursue their next opportunity.
As for those returning after a multi-year hiatus, among them will be printing equipment supplier M&R Printing Equipment Inc. (Booth #681, mrprint.com) with its comprehensive range of screen-printing, DTF and textile printing presses and equipment.
“Impressions Expo Dallas is always an exciting opportunity to connect with printers and decorators who are shaping the future of our industry,” said M&R Printing Equipment Chief Commercial Officer, Andrea Bardenheuer. “This year, M&R is proud to showcase the innovation, performance and reliability that define our equipment portfolio, including live demonstrations of the Quatro industrial DTF printer and the Orbiter automatic DTF loading, transferring and peeling system, designed to help decorators streamline production and maximize throughput.”

According to Bardenheuer, “Attendees will also have the opportunity to see select models from our Stinger Series screen printing equipment, delivering exceptional performance, durability and value, all backed by M&R’s industry-leading five-year warranty. We’re excited to demonstrate how these technologies can help businesses increase productivity, improve efficiency, and drive greater profitability in today’s competitive decoration market.”
Also, returning to this year’s Dallas expo will be Florida-based decorated-apparel equipment and supplies provider ColDesi (Booth #805, coldesi.com). With a product line that includes everything from Avance embroidery machines to a wide range of DTF, direct-to-garment (DTG) and UV printers, the company’s booth will be another must-see for apparel decorators with business big and small.
“As exciting as it is to see so many industry leaders taking part in this year’s Dallas Impressions Expo, it’s equally exciting to see the interest on the part of the many new or returning companies and those planning on increasing their presence here,” said show director Kayla McGarry. “Not only does it make for a great event, but I can think of no better sign of a healthy industry in general.”
In all, at press time Impressions was expecting no less than 122 exhibitors to take part in this year’s show, which in turn translates into an incredible 24,100-square-feet of booth space for attendees to check out—which in turn will only be made that much easier this year thanks to the event’s new mid-week schedule.
