Sustainability at ToldPrint™

Made responsibly. Worn consciously.

Practical, transparent, and continuously improving. We design with purpose and produce on-demand to reduce waste and protect the Mediterranean we celebrate.

Our principles

  • On-demand first: we produce only what is ordered to limit overproduction.
  • Longevity: durable blanks, clean graphics, and care-friendly construction.
  • Traceability: we work with vetted partners and publish what we can verify.
  • Local-first logic: production is routed closer to the customer when possible.

Ethical production

All ToldPrint™ partners operate under ethical labor and environmental standards. We collaborate only with facilities that maintain fair wages, safe workplaces, and transparent supply chains.

  • Compliance with local labor laws
  • No forced or child labor
  • Safe working environments and diversity commitments
  • Partner-led audits and ongoing performance reviews
  • Transparency around sourcing regions and materials

Sustainability begins with respect — for people, craft, and the communities behind each product.

Materials

Materials are selected for durability, comfort, and reduced environmental impact where feasible.

  • Cotton blends: chosen for hand-feel and everyday longevity.
  • Embroidery & inks: industry-standard threads and low-impact inks where available.
  • Certifications: when listed (e.g. OEKO-TEX®, US Cotton Trust Protocol), they are supplier-documented and product-specific.

We avoid blanket claims. Certifications are applied only where they can be verified.

Production

  • Distributed on-demand network: multiple facilities reduce transport distances.
  • Quality controls: stitch density, colorfastness, and shrinkage checks per partner SOPs.
  • Responsible handling: misprints are minimized; reuse programs applied where available.

Packaging

  • Right-sized mailers: less void fill and lower shipping weight.
  • Paper-first approach: recyclable paper or cardboard when possible.
  • No excess: only essential inserts and care information.

Footprint & KPIs

  • Made-to-order rate: ≥95% of items produced on-demand.
  • Defect rate: ≤1.5% remakes (quality or transit-related).
  • Local routing: ≥70% of orders fulfilled in-region.
  • Packaging: ≥80% recyclable mono-material shipments.

These targets reflect current goals and evolve as our supply network improves.

Roadmap

  1. Material transparency: expand item-level composition details.
  2. Repair & care guides: practical longevity resources.
  3. Lifecycle insight: introduce estimated lifespan data where available.
  4. Take-back pilot: explore small-scale reuse initiatives.
