ByThis Press Notes and Trade Updates
ByThis serves South Africa’s trades with curated starter kits and tool picks for vinyl, laser, CNC and DTF benches. Our press page carries the latest Monday shortlists, coastal DTF field news, and special launches for training centres. Each kit is fine-tuned for real workshop demands. Get the trade’s inside track on new releases, hands-on demos, and the pulse of fabrication floors from Germiston to Gqeberha. For direct press queries or kit shortlist requests, our team is ready to respond with practical info and sharp details.
Monday Starter Kit Shortlists
Every Monday, ByThis releases fresh starter kit shortlists tailored to specific workshop needs. These lists help vinyl shops, CNC benches, and laser teams lock in the essentials, no wasted budget, no extra clutter. Each kit is selected by trade specialists who work hands-on with the tools, ensuring every piece adds direct value.
Shortlists cover everything from vinyl weeding picks to finishing squares and focus gauges. Ask for them through our contact form, so you can act quickly and keep your bench moving. Expect a focus on quality, reliability, and time-saving extras, all packed from our Sunnyrock HQ.
Coastal DTF Trade Updates
South Africa’s coastal trades are fast adopting DTF garment printing, and ByThis is driving the movement with live kit demos and focused shortlists. Our Gqeberha Boardwalk appointment bay is the go-to for teams looking to see presses and powder units in action, with Fuad Isaacs on hand to demonstrate DTF workflows.
We report monthly on DTF kit trends, supply chain improvements, and coastal garment production runs. ByThis supports both new entrants and established shops, offering tailored advice and dispatching calibrated kits for quick coastal delivery.
FET Tray Launches for Fabricators
Training centres and FET colleges now have access to dedicated tray kits, designed for hands-on instruction in vinyl, laser, and CNC. ByThis worked alongside station leads like Gideon Odendaal to develop robust, curriculum-ready trays that fit South African training environments.
Each FET tray includes essential tools for new tradespeople, think focus gauges, hold-downs, and proper calibration gear. Kits are supplied with clear guides and supported by our Care and Calibration team, led by Puleng Ngqula. Institutions can book live demos at our showrooms or request starter tray shortlists for direct supply.
Monthly Trade Floor Movement
Every month, ByThis tracks what’s moving across South Africa’s trade floors. Our Pick Editor, Thembisa Magagula, highlights the most requested kits and the tools gaining traction on busy benches, from new DTF garment presses to next-gen CNC hold-down packs.
We share practical feedback from users, update kit contents based on real trade input, and flag supply trends. The monthly roundup helps shops, training centres and fabricators stay ahead, with a focus on what delivers results, not just what’s new.
