water-based ink.

I use a sustainable printing company, Barrel Maker Printing, for all of my printed merchandise. They utilize water-based ink, which is an eco-friendly alternative to plastisol (a plastic-based ink). As an added bonus, water-based ink makes for a super soft print with a sophisticated matte finish!

sustainable packaging.

I order my packaging supplies from Ecoenclose. If you order:

Apparel — it will be packaged in a 100% recycled and 97% post-consumer waste paper apparel mailer which is fully recyclable and biodegradable.

Small goods (think phone cases, art prints, etc.) — they will be packaged in a 100% recycled and 90% post-consumer content rigid mailer which is recyclable and biodegradable.

Shoes: I will either reuse the original box they were shipped in or mail them via a 100% recycled and 95% post-consumer waste corrugated box. These boxes are recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable.

Paintings: I will reuse the original box the canvas was shipped in.

I also use 100% recycled and 20% post-consumer waste tissue paper that is recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable. Any tape that you might see on your package is water activated, made with 50% recycled content, and is recyclable and biodegradable.
