We believe your brand should look good and do good. That’s why we’ve partnered with PrintLocker, a Melbourne-based leader in sustainable garment printing. Together, we ensure every piece of merch is created with a focus on ethical labor, eco-friendly materials, and waste reduction.
1. Ethically made and sweatshop-free
We refuse to compromise on human rights. All garments sourced through our store are guaranteed to be sweatshop-free. We only work with suppliers who hold the following gold-standard certifications:
✅ WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production): Ensures lawful, humane, and ethical manufacturing.
✅ FLA (Fair Labor Association): Guarantees fair working conditions and protects workers' rights globally.
Our primary garment partners, such as AS Colour and Gildan, are known for their transparent supply chains and dedication to social responsibility.
2. Eco-friendly printing technology
Our printing process is designed to minimize environmental impact. We use Kornit digital printing technology, which is a world leader in sustainable textile solutions.
✅ Waterless Process: Unlike traditional industrial printing, this technology is 100% waterless, saving thousands of liters of water annually.
✅ Vegan and Non-Toxic Inks: They use high-quality, water-based pigmented inks that are 100% biodegradable, toxin-free, and entirely vegan-friendly.
✅ Certified Safe: Their inks meet the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, meaning they are safe for both the environment and the wearer.
3. Sustainable operations and local impact
By working with PrintLocker, we significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with international shipping.
✅ Print-on-Demand: They only print what you order. This "no minimum" model eliminates the massive textile waste caused by overproduction and unsold inventory.
✅ Natural Fibres: They prioritize garments made from natural fibres like organic cotton and bamboo whenever possible.
✅ Waste Reduction: From reducing plastic packaging to setting internal green goals at the Alphington warehouse, they are constantly working to keep the overall operation as lean and clean as possible.
4. Support local
Every order placed supports Australian jobs. All our printing, quality control, and shipping are handled right here in Melbourne. By choosing us (and Printlocker), you are supporting a locally owned business and a local community of makers.
