Choose your sustainable clothing here
Sustainable fashion is on the rise, with more and more people seeking ethical and environmentally friendly options when it comes to personalising their clothing. At Garment Printing, we understand the importance of making conscious choices, which is why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide on how to choose sustainable personalised clothing. Here, we provide practical tips so you can personalise your garments responsibly.
1. Learn About Sustainable Materials
Before personalising your clothing, it’s crucial to familiarise yourself with available sustainable materials. Opt for options such as organic cotton, ECOVERO™ viscose, Tencel, bamboo yarn, or recycled polyester. These materials minimize environmental impact and ensure more ethical production.

2. Sustainability Certifications
Look for brands and suppliers with recognised sustainability certifications. Labels like GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or Oeko-Tex Standard 100 ensure that the clothing meets strict environmental and social standards.

3. Production Process
Research the production process used to customise the clothing. Sustainable printing methods, such as water-based screen printing or digital printing with eco-friendly inks, are environmentally friendly options. These processes reduce the use of chemicals and water.

4. Durability and Quality
Sustainability also involves the durability of garments. Customising quality clothing ensures that pieces last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacement. Opt for timeless designs that don’t quickly go out of fashion.
5. Responsible Personalisation:
When personalising your clothing, consider the quantity and location of graphic elements. Less can be more, and choosing simpler designs can reduce material and energy waste.
6. Eco-Friendly Packaging
Don’t forget to consider packaging. Look for eco-friendly and recyclable packaging options. Reducing waste at all levels, including packaging, contributes to a more sustainable approach.
7. Reuse and Recycle
Think about how your customised garments could have a second life. Reuse and recycling are integral parts of sustainable fashion. Encourage the idea that garments can be recycled or donated rather than discarded.
8. Consumer Awareness
Choosing sustainable clothing is not just about brands and suppliers; consumers also play a crucial role. Educate your customers about the importance of sustainable fashion and how their choices positively impact the environment.
