In addition to the increasing cost of outsourcing as the business expanded, it took a long time to deliver products during the busy outsourcing period, which sometimes resulted in missed business opportunities.
With the introduction of the JV330-160, together with the previously introduced UJF-6042MkII e (Mimaki UV machine), approximately 80% of goods production was done in-house, enabling delivery in a short period of time. In addition, a wide range of cost reductions have been realized by in-house production of interior decorations and pop-ups used in the company's own stores. The company plans to add more equipment in the future to increase the in-house production ratio to close to 100%.

Considering the possibility of administering original printing to the leather for their products, DAIDOHBAGS was worried by the delivery time and cost of the material, since the only means available to the company at the time was to outsource the work.
With the introduction of "UJF-6042MkII e" UV printer, the company acquired the capability to provide the original leather prints in-house, solving the problems of delivery time and cost. DAIDOHBAGS now plans to start marketing products under their own brand.
