Macclesfield’s playing strips are manufactured using Mimaki print kit, available from sponsor R A Smart
Offering a range of digital and screen print services, R A Smart is headed up by director Magnus Mighall, a former Macclesfield Rugby player, who recognises the role that the club plays in the local community.
“Sport provides a fantastic opportunity for young people to extend and develop themselves in all sorts of positive ways and the club has always believed passionately in nurturing players throughout their journey from mini to junior and youth rugby and eventually into the senior game from where the National stage beckons,” Mighall says.
“Here at Smarts, we’re delighted to be able to play our part by becoming sponsors of the first team kit.”
R A Smart works in partnership with Irish sportswear manufacturer O’Neills to produce the playing kit, which features the Mimaki supplier’s logo on the jersey sleeve.

“The Mimaki dye sublimation printers favoured by O’Neills are extensively used as production machines in the sportswear and fashion markets,” Mighall says.
“Such is O’Neills’ increasing demand; additional Mimaki printers are currently on order with R A Smart to add further capacity during 2016.”
Paul Houston from O’Neills adds: “The relationship which we have developed with both Mimaki and R A Smart and the long-term support provided by both companies has allowed us to grow with confidence and develop new market opportunities.”
