Promotional textiles are considered the cornerstone of the haptic advertising market. Their popularity, practical usability, and accessibility have made them highly effective marketing tools. In 2026, as sustainability, quality, and expressive design gain increasing importance, the relevance of these products will become even more evident. Companies active in this sector will have a strong presence at PSI 2026, the most renowned trade fair for promotional products in Europe.

PSI 2026 will be held from January 7–9, 2026 at the Messe Düsseldorf exhibition center in Germany. The track record of this event shows that international experts in promotional products gather to exchange knowledge, leading companies showcase their latest innovations, and business relationships are formed that help shape the industry’s commercial direction for the year ahead.

The Importance of Promotional Textiles

Textiles have gained significant attention in the advertising industry. The combination of functionality, visibility, and emotional engagement makes them particularly attractive. Based on statistics from previous editions of the fair, it is estimated that around 60% of PSI visitors are specifically seeking textile-based promotional products. The key advantages of these products include:

•    Durability and visibility: High-quality T-shirts, hoodies, or caps are worn repeatedly. Each use translates into countless advertising impressions in everyday life, at events, or during leisure activities. Wearers effectively become mobile brand ambassadors.

•    Attractive cost–benefit ratio: The investment pays off over the long lifespan of the product, meaning that each advertising exposure comes at a very low marginal cost. This makes promotional textiles particularly beneficial for large orders, events, or employee apparel.

•    Emotional brand connection: Design, comfort, and perceived value create a positive brand experience. Product quality symbolizes trust and professionalism, strengthening brand loyalty.

Sustainability as the New Standard in the Promotional Industry

Today, sustainability is no longer an optional choice but an expectation placed on companies by society. Consumers increasingly value environmental and social responsibility. The use of sustainable textiles—such as those made from organic cotton, recycled materials, or produced under fair-trade conditions—has become increasingly important. These products stand for durability and recyclability and help build a conscious brand image that demonstrates alignment with global sustainability goals.
