Sustainable Ways to Refresh Your Custom-Branded Apparel
At GetBold, we understand the hidden costs of fast fashion: trend-driven cycles, limited use, and constant pressure to buy new. We believe in the power of classic apparel that represents your brand for the long haul. Here, we'll explore sustainable ways to refresh your company's look while keeping your team stylish and consistent.
The Environmental Impact of Apparel Production
The apparel industry's extensive supply chain, from agriculture to retail, leaves a significant environmental footprint. However, the tide is turning towards eco-friendly practices, making sustainable apparel production more accessible than ever.
Sustainable Custom Apparel Done Right
GetBold offers sustainable solutions for custom apparel printing in Vancouver, including embroidery, screen printing, and custom design services. Here are some key strategies to refresh your company swag without contributing to fast fashion:
- Eco-Friendly Garments: Choose high-quality, ethically made garments from brands that use recycled materials or innovative fabrics like recycled plastic. While the initial cost might be slightly higher, these garments are more durable and last longer, providing better value in the long run.
- Design for Longevity: Classic designs that transcend trends are key to sustainable apparel. Consistent messaging and timeless visuals ensure your branded apparel remains relevant for years to come. Consider evergreen designs that embody your brand's core values, with additional variations offering choice to your team.
- Colours that Endure: Avoid trendy colour palettes that quickly become outdated. Stick to brand-consistent colours that reflect your company's identity and culture. While incorporating limited-edition colour options for specific campaigns might be appropriate, prioritize a classic colour scheme for your core apparel.
- Water-Based Inks: Opt for water-based inks instead of plastisol inks. Plastisol inks, made from PVC, are harmful to the environment and don't last as long as water-based alternatives.
