  • LogoJET Announces Partnership with MakerFlo

    LogoJET has announced a strategic partnership with MakerFlo, expanding LogoJET’s blank-media ecosystem and its turnkey Print-to-Profit solutions for high-demand drinkware and tumbler applications.

    Central to the partnership is MakerFlo’s MakerTwist Tumbler. The purpose-built drinkware line is engineered to increase production efficiency and unlock full-wrap decoration on handled tumblers. 

    Designed specifically with UV printers and engravers in mind, the MakerTwist Tumbler eliminates common limitations associated with handles by allowing full 360-degree wraps without removing handles, modifying fixtures, or settling for partial prints.

    “Customers don’t just want printers. They want a clear path to profitability,” said Michele Choate, vice president of marketing at LogoJET. “Our partnership with MakerFlo, and innovations like the MakerTwist Tumbler, bring together trusted blank media, proven rotary printing capability, and real-world application support, making it easier for customers to produce more, waste less, and scale faster.”

    LogoJET notes that its UV rotary technology allows businesses to bring tumbler production in-house, reducing overhead, accelerating turnaround times, and improving margin control.

    “The MakerTwist Tumbler was designed to solve real production challenges,” said John Modi, founder of MakerFlo. “By reducing handling time and enabling true full-wrap decoration on handled tumblers, we’re helping customers be more productive with their equipment. Partnering with LogoJET allows us to pair that innovation with a proven UV-printing platform.”

    “This partnership removes barriers between setup and success,” said Sumita Patel, customer engagement manager at LogoJET. “By connecting customers to proven blank solutions like MakerTwist and backing them with ongoing support, we’re reinforcing our commitment to delivering complete, scalable production systems.”

  • Ricoh and LogoJET Announce Strategic Partnership

    Ricoh USA announced a strategic partnership with LogoJET, expanding its graphic communications portfolio with small-format, direct-to-object (DTO) UV-printing solutions. As part of the partnership, Ricoh said it will offer LogoJET DTO printers in its portfolio of production hardware, software, workflow, and services.

    The company attributes the growing demand for more customized, on-demand, and efficient printing solutions across a wide range of industries, noting that the U.S. DTO market is projected to grow at a 9.5% CAGR from 2025-2030. 

    “DTO represents a natural extension of digital production for customers looking to diversify and grow,” said Andrew Vecci, director, product & portfolio management at Ricoh USA. “By combining LogoJET’s DTO platforms with Ricoh’s expertise in production print integration, customers gain a scalable way to add new applications while fitting DTO seamlessly into their existing production environments.”

    As LogoJET’s first distribution partner in North America, Ricoh said the partnership expands access to specialized DTO technology “while supporting customers through consulting, workflow design, software integration, and services aligned with their broader print operations.” 

    “Direct-to-object printing is one of the fastest ways for print providers to expand into higher-margin applications, from signage to promotional products,” said Susan Cox, CEO and founder of LogoJET. “Through our partnership with Ricoh, we’re extending this capability across their vast network, with aligned support and a shared customer-first culture. We’re excited and proud to take this step beyond our direct sales model, and Ricoh was a very intentional choice.” 

    LogoJET’s DTO printers are designed specifically for printing on dimensional and specialty items, supporting a wide range of substrates and applications. Through this partnership, Ricoh said its customers can incorporate DTO into “mixed production environments alongside sheetfed, inkjet, wide-format, and finishing solutions.”

Their technology demands substrates that are flat, stable, and consistent. That’s exactly what TruFlat delivers.” 

    With the partnership, LogoJET said its blank products offer a turnkey solution for retailers seeking faster onboarding and assurance that materials are compatible with their equipment.
