Melbourne, FL. - Taktiful is bringing the excitement of March Madness to the print industry with the launch of the 2026 Taktisphere March Madness Bracket Challenge, a friendly competition designed to bring printers, designers, operators, and industry enthusiasts together during one of the most exciting sporting events of the year.

Hosted inside the newly launched Taktisphere, Taktiful’s growing online community dedicated to digital print embellishment, the challenge invites industry professionals to submit their predictions for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament and compete for prizes, bragging rights, and leaderboard glory.
Participants will fill out their brackets before the tournament begins and track their progress as the games unfold across the tournament’s 63 matchups. Just like the print industry itself, the tournament is known for its surprises, upsets, and unexpected champions.
The goal of the challenge is simple. Bring the community together for something fun.
“March Madness is something millions of people look forward to every year,” said Eric Vessels, CXO of Taktiful. “We wanted to create a way for the embellishment community to connect outside of normal business conversations. The bracket challenge gives people a reason to engage, compete, and get to know each other while following the tournament together.”
The competition is open to all members of the Taktisphere, which is free to join and open to anyone involved or interested in digital print embellishment. Whether participants are die hard basketball fans or simply making educated guesses, the challenge is designed to be accessible and entertaining for everyone in the industry.
Beyond the competition itself, the bracket challenge highlights the broader mission of the Taktisphere. Building a vibrant global community where print professionals can share ideas, discuss technology, and learn from one another as the digital embellishment market continues to grow.

• Prizes for the Champion, 2nd Place, and 3rd Place
• Swag packs for the Top 10 finishers
