Case Study: Vaughn Hockey achieves rapid, high-quality custom goalie designs with CorelDRAW

Leading equipment manufacturer chooses CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to customize their products

Vaughn Hockey, a leading Ontario-based manufacturer of ice hockey goaltending equipment, faced growing demand for distinctive, custom designs—from seasonal collections to customer-submitted artwork—while operating under tight timelines and at scale. For the past 15 years the company has relied on CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to manage diverse file formats and deliver the unique looks that differentiate its products.

Using CorelDRAW Graphics Suite (including Corel PowerTRACE), Vaughn Hockey can import almost any customer file, trace and recreate graphics twice as fast, produce quick design samples, and output laser-cut templates and embroidery patterns for high-volume production. CorelDRAW enables faster customization and consistent quality—helping Vaughn turn around intricate custom pads and roughly 5–6 thousand pairs of team pants a year—making the vendor an integral part of their design and manufacturing process.
