As professional designers, we love making the cutest personalized baby gifts we can, but as parents we’re also concerned with creating a safer, cleaner world for our kids. We’re always striving to make our products and our business practices as green as possible.
Here are three ways in which we focus on being environmentally friendly:
Traditional inks are petroleum-based, while the ink we use is a water-based solvent, making it gentler on the environment. Water-based inks also create a safer work environment for our printing company and their employees, who do not need to use harsh chemicals to clean their presses, like other companies who use petroleum-based inks do.
Not only does digital printing allow for a richer, deeper color, it allows the ink to become part of the fabric as opposed to iron-ons or silk screened images which can flake and come off over time, causing potential issues if children eat or suck on any loose pieces.
Not only are our personalized onesies and tshirts incredibly soft, they are made of 100% untreated cotton to be gentler on skin, especially important for those wee ones with sensitive skin or eczema. Many growth charts are made with treated canvas or plastic, but our personalized growth charts are made with 100% cotton canvas, with no solvents or chemicals added so they do not emit any potential toxins.
