What B Corp certification means for your order.
Eco-friendly blanks
Organic cotton, recycled poly blends, and ethically sourced fabrics in the colors and fits your brand actually wants.
Water-based inks
Softer hand feel, lower chemical footprint, and prints that bond into the shirt instead of sitting on top of it.
Audited supply chain
B Corp certification is renewed on a 3-year cycle and verified against 200+ standards across labor, environment, and governance.

Sustainable doesn't mean compromised.
We curate eco-friendly blanks for one reason: they have to wear and print as well as anything else on the market. Allmade, econscious, organic cotton tees that feel like the ones your team already loves - without the supply chain you wouldn't want to defend on a panel.

Water-based inks. Better print, lower impact.
Most printers default to plastisol because it's cheap and forgiving. We use water-based and discharge inks whenever the design and blank allow. The result is a softer hand, less waste in production, and prints that become part of the shirt.
