What Makes Corporate Apparel More Eco-Friendly?

When companies talk about eco-friendly apparel, they’re usually referring to two main factors:

🌱 1. The Garment

Eco-conscious apparel often includes:

  • Soft, lightweight shirts designed for digital printing

  • Fabrics that use efficient production processes

  • Garments built to last longer (reducing waste over time)

Underground Printing offers a wide selection of apparel well-suited for modern digital printing methods that support sustainability-minded programs.

πŸ’§ 2. The Ink & Printing Method

This is where digital printing stands out.

Digital Printing = Water-Based Inks

Digital printing uses water-based inks that:

  • Feel soft to the touch

  • Absorb directly into the fabric

  • Require no heavy plastisol layers

  • Work especially well on lighter-weight garments

This makes digital printing a popular choice for companies looking for a more eco-friendly decoration method.

Why Digital Printing Is Ideal for Eco-Conscious Corporate Apparel

Digital printing checks many boxes for sustainability-focused programs.

βœ” Uses water-based inks

βœ” Minimal setup waste

βœ” Excellent for detailed, full-color designs

βœ” Great for small runs or variable designs

βœ” Soft, modern print feel

Can Eco-Friendly Apparel Still Look Professional? Absolutely.

One misconception we hear is that eco-friendly apparel means compromising on appearance. That’s not true.

When paired correctly:

  • Digital printing delivers clean, vibrant designs

  • Modern garments look polished and intentional

Many companies mix methods—for example:

  • Digitally printed t-shirts for events

  • Embroidered polos or quarter zips for daily wear

Underground Printing helps you choose the right combination for your brand.
