Frequently Asked Questions

What sustainable t-shirt brands does Custom Ink carry?

We carry a growing lineup of styles from brands specifically built around sustainability: Allmade, Marine Layer Re-Spun, Royal Apparel USA-Made Organic, Hanes EcoSmart, District Re-Tee, and more.


What's the difference between recycled and organic cotton shirts?

Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Recycled fabric — like Marine Layer's Re-Spun — is made from pre- or post-consumer textile waste. Both are meaningful choices; the right one depends on whether you prioritize the growing process or reducing waste from existing materials.


Are any of these shirts made in the USA?

Yes. Royal Apparel USA-Made Organic Cotton and Marine Layer Re-Spun are both produced domestically. If USA manufacturing is important to your group, look for the "Made in USA" label when browsing in the Design Lab.


How does Allmade differ from other sustainable brands?

Allmade shirts are made from a blend of organic cotton, recycled polyester, and modal — a combination that creates a soft, durable fabric with a meaningfully lower environmental footprint. Allmade also publishes its social and environmental impact metrics.


Do sustainable shirts cost more than regular tees?

Premium eco brands like Marine Layer and Allmade are priced higher than standard basics, but options like Hanes EcoSmart and District Re-Tee are budget-friendly sustainable choices. Full pricing is visible in our Design Lab.


Can I print or embroider on sustainable t-shirts?

Yes. All styles in our sustainable lineup support custom decoration. Organic and recycled fabrics take ink and thread very well — our team selects the best method for each shirt type.


Is there a minimum order for sustainable t-shirts?

Many styles have no minimum order. Minimum quantities are listed on the product selection page.
