Eco Clothing – Help Save The Planet And Make Your Clients Happy Too

Promotional Eco clothing has certainly taken off in recent years with the entire explosion of environmental concerns. However not all is a green and as clear as it first appears with this sort of promotional clothing so if you are looking to buy some Eco promotional textiles then you need to dig a little deeper for the whole story.

One of the major problems with Eco Friendly promotional textiles is the issue of cost. A great many companies will pontificate at great length about their carbon footprint, their commitment to the environment etc but when it comes to paying extra for these products they simply do not want to know.

The fact is that mass produced promotional clothing is always going to be a good deal cheaper than Eco friendly promotional textiles because it only accounts for a tiny fraction of the overall market. If you take a manufacturer makes eco friendly clothing they will have to pay a lot of money to get certificates to prove that the textiles they are selling are genuinely eco friendly. The fabrics they use can cost as much as 30% more than the non eco friendly labelled fabrics. So when you add all these extra costs into the price of a garment they can end up being as much as 30% more expensive. So if you take a client looking for say 100,000 printed T-shirts he can save himself tens of thousands of pounds by taking the non eco friendly range.

The range of Eco Friendly promotional clothes is growing every year and whereas it used to consist just of eco friendly T-Shirts you can now buy ranges of eco friendly fleeces, jackets and even eco friendly baseball caps.

But it’s not just the fabrics that you need to consider if you really want to go green for your next promotions. You should make sure that your silk-screen printer is using eco friendly inks that are phalate free. It seems crazy but it does happen that people buy great eco friendly products and then have them branded or packages with totally unsuitable materials
