After months of preparation, we were delighted (and relieved) to exhibit at PRINTING United Expo 2022. The Ultraflex exhibitor booth was one of 700+ exhibitors, and energetic, curious attendees flocked to our booth to see the newest and greatest products on display. Our products were creatively showcased in many applications using a Mad Men-era, retro NYC-inspired theme. Below are the highlights of what was featured in our exhibit.
VorTex™ Soft Signage Solutions is a leading industry fabric and textile line and a popular choice for many application-driven printers.
VorTex™ Bolero S225 is a woven polyester fabric with a bright white point that enhances this subway-style design.
The backside of our deck structure showcases VorTex™ Grand Display D223, a crease-free, tight-knit fabric with a billboard-on-brick design.
Within this “office,” a stunning cityscape view using VorTex™ Backlit Event T202 reveals the textile’s crisp and brilliant high-resolution capabilities when printing wide-format graphics.
The office décor also featured DecorFlex upholstered chairs, VorTex™ Triple White D251 curtain prints, and Wallscapes Plus wallcoverings.
PVC-free and phthalate-free products, such as the ReSource™ Backlit S180, made with recycled woven materials, were also displayed. PVC-free materials are in high demand as the sustainable industry grows and consumer interest increases. The EcoVantage line was among the top attractions as attendees sought the latest sustainable products.
The new product showcased was VorTex™ Transfer Paper, a revolutionary dye-sublimation transfer paper available in 65gsm, 85gsm, and 105gsm weights. On display was a comparison of different weights of paper to fabric, showing the difference in color density and vibrancy.
FabriTac® and UltraPoplin® PES S240 were used in this newsstand-inspired greeting station where attendees were welcomed.
FabriTac® and Signetics® Magnetic Receptive Media were creatively combined into a retro hot dog cart.
Floorscapes, a durable clear vinyl floor graphic media was utilized throughout the entire booth with a NYC street and sidewalk print graphic.
PRINTING United Expo was a huge success, and we thank everyone who visited our booth. We look forward to seeing you at the next PRINTING United Expo on Oct. 18-20. 2023.

Ultraflex Systems Holiday Party marked many milestones and accomplishments this year. A special award was presented to employees who have been with us for more than ten years. Those recognized were Kylie Schleicher (10 yr), Louis Lopez (15 yr), Claudio Izquierdo (15 yr), William Lyon (17 yr), Annalie Carter (21 yr), Susan Schleicher (20 yr), and John Schleicher (30+ yr).
“For over thirty years, Ultraflex has invested in providing the highest quality products to our valued customers. Ultraflex has invested in tools and equipment throughout the years to help manage, handle, and sell its high-quality products. While these two assets (products and tools and equipment) are highly important to the company, I believe our most important asset is our employees.”
Ron Schneider- President and COO, Ultraflex Systems
In addition, Ron Schneider was announced as the company’s new President and COO by John Schleicher, Ultraflex Systems CEO.
The evening full of dancing, celebrating, and toasting the holidays brought together Ultraflex team members from across the country and made it memorable for years to come.

It’s hard to believe a year has gone by since the beginning of the pandemic in America. During the past months, we’ve had to rethink the way we work, learn, play, and more. We’ve also had to figure out how to keep businesses going – and growing – despite significant obstacles.
Technology has helped us adjust to a new environment. And even though we miss the in-person connections with customers and co-workers, a virtual approach may be our reality for a while longer.
We jumped in with the first Ultraflex virtual trade show in October 2020. Our next one is March 17 – more about that in a moment. Since our first show, we’ve hosted and participated in many virtual trade shows and training sessions. Along the way, we’ve learned a lot.
Technical glitches can create a major disconnect. We’ve had our fair share and learned early on to devote enough time for a full run-through with technology and presenters. Our advice is to have a backup for anything and everything, such as the loss of an internet connection, a video that lags or won’t play, or a presenter who may or may not have experience with screen-sharing.
Check out this great guide for hosting online events, including options for event technology and platforms, or explore SAE International’s best practice guide for virtual meetings.
We’ve all attended a virtual meeting or event where one talking head presents slide after slide. About 45 minutes later, the presenter announces: “Are there any questions?” By that time, many attendees have zoned out.
The challenge is to find ways to engage with participants throughout the event. Yes, it takes some work and creative thinking, but the extra effort will pay off. The best solutions are often born after engaging with customers who talk about their needs or concerns – things you may have never considered before.
If you want to keep participants on high alert during your virtual event, show videos, demonstrations, panel discussions, give them polls to answer and quizzes to take. Here’s a good article on how to keep attendees engaged before, during, and after your event.
Without face-to-face contact, your customers may not realize how much you care about their success. Whenever you engage virtually with customers, make sure they know you are thinking creatively about how to meet their needs.
For example, when businesses began reopening last summer, we helped customers learn how to implement signage, seat covers, wall and floor coverings, and more to help consumers feel safe while navigating seating, directions, and social distancing.
We don’t know when we will be together again. In the meantime, virtual events can help us stay productive and allow us to continue inventing new and amazing solutions.
During the past few months, Ultraflex virtual trade shows have given customers a place where they can see, learn, experience, and talk about new applications, trends, and challenges for the industry.
Our next virtual trade show is March 17. We’ll be looking at important market trends, including green initiatives that allow products to evolve in an environmentally friendly way. Learn more and register for the March 17 virtual trade show here.

Is your printing business facing tough times? We have an idea that could help printers expand into new markets, fuel profits and keep customers coming back for more.
Now is a great time to offer décor solutions that turn on the WOW factor in any space, from corporate lobbies to golf carts. Wherever people work, shop, play, study or even stand, décor solutions can create a more vibrant, compelling environment.
Think about it: People are more aware of their surroundings than ever before. What are the messages your customers need to send about their brand? With your excellent printing capabilities and our extensive lineup of décor solutions, you can create a truly customized feel for any space.
We’ve got you covered!
We offer a comprehensive lineup of décor solutions:
• Wallcoverings
• Canvas

• Flooring
Need to help your customers transform walls from bland to grand? Our wallcoverings come in multiple options to fit unique settings. We have PVC and polyester options that can brand any space, such as hospitals, restaurants, daycare centers and other facilities of any size.
Need to create a stunning graphic for a special event or location? Glassless canvas prints are the way to go. Our canvas gallery wrap materials can be used in homes, restaurants, galleries, hotels and other indoor locations that need a show-stopping graphic.
While you are creating the ideal environment with wallcoverings and canvas graphics, why not reimagine seating areas, golf carts, corporate lobby chairs and more to tie it all together? Our highly durable suede and leather upholstery solutions provide an eye-catching pop to any environment.
And don’t forget the floor! Graphic flooring is an excellent way to create visual interest in any location. We have an extensive line of graphic flooring materials that direct consumers to a destination or inspire customers to support a brand. You can see our flooring materials everywhere, such as in bars, restaurants, office buildings and retail stores.
Seeing is believing
Under normal circumstances, we would be demonstrating our décor solutions during an interactive in-person trade show. We miss the trade show experience but have come up with another way to help you connect and explore new solutions that can benefit business growth.
You are invited to the Ultraflex virtual trade show where we will show you the latest innovations in décor solutions. The trade show is free. Simply register here. You can join us or watch the show on demand. A another virtual event on the Decor products takes place Nov. 18. It’s free too, and it’s easy to register here.
