HOW YOUR PRODUCTS ARE MADE
All apparel products are packed in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mailers. The amount of PCR in the packaging will differ depending on where your order gets printed, but it’s at least 50% for the outside (white or grey) poly mailer bags and at least 30% for the inside (clear) bags used in multi-item shipments. PCR packaging is made from everyday items, like used plastic bags and bottles. This material protects your order just as well as regular plastic bags, however, choosing PCR over first-use plastics reduces the environmental impact plastic has on our planet.
When it comes to printing and production, by working with Printful, La Cat Connoisseur, can honour its commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and cutting-edge technology that minimizes waste and energy consumption.
Printful collaborates with Kornit digital printers, to use water-based vegan DTG inks that they formulate, test, and produce in their own factories, ensuring the highest quality. These inks are non-hazardous, toxin-free, biodegradable, and contain no animal by-products
From direct-to-garment printing techniques that minimize water usage to post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic mailers that reduce reliance on first-use plastics, every step of the process is carefully considered to minimize environmental impact.
Each item is custom-made upon order and fulfilled through printing centres in the U.S. and Europe, ensuring a product tailored to you while reducing waste and minimising environmental impact. By avoiding mass production, La Cat Connoisseur lowers its carbon footprint and promotes sustainability. For Direct To Garment (DTG) products like t-shirts, we use Oeko-Tex™ certified Kornit Water-based and NeoPigment inks, which are safe for children’s clothing and highly colourfast. Mugs feature Sawgrass SubliJet HD ink, while select non-apparel items use EPSON SC80610/80600 ink, and tumblers and water bottles are printed with UV-DL Ink. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, slight colour variations may occur—embrace the uniqueness of your one-of-a-kind creation!
