It’s ideal for end users who prioritise quality, comfort and style.

100% ORGANIC COTTON

Organic cotton is cultivated through organic practices, abstaining from pesticides and genetically modified organisms. Organic cotton farming reduces environmental impact and preserves biodiversity. This approach extends to water conservation and  efficient irrigation methods.

Ideal decoration techniques for 100% organic cotton:

Water-based screen printing: an eco-friendly option for organic cotton, this method uses inks that penetrate fibres, creating soft, breathable prints without harmful chemicals.
Discharge printing: this method removes dye from fabric, which is ideal for darker organic cotton garments, revealing the fabric’s natural colour to produce soft, vintage-style prints.
Digital printing: also known as DTG, digital printing directly prints designs onto fabric using inkjet printers, offering high-resolution prints with vibrant colours – ideal for intricate designs and minimising waste.
Heat transfer printing: heat and pressure transfer designs onto organic cotton, making it perfect for small batches or custom orders and ensuring vibrant, durable prints with quick turnaround time.
