Organic and Eco Friendly Custom Products!
Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility, and requires a proactive role from all of us. This is why our team at Consuul has gone beyond just offering custom printed apparel with plastisol, the traditionally used ink for screen printing, and offers more environmentally-friendly options. Using water based inks and organic garments are just a few of the eco-friendly options available when creating a custom-made product. Screen printing with non-toxic, water-based inks is a great option because of its sustainability when printed on fabrics.
Another advantage of water-based inks over traditional ink is that it leaves the fabric soft, washable, and ironable without fading or releasing toxic fumes. Although water-based inks can be printed on any color fabric, we recommend printing on lighter colored fabrics to enhance the full spectrum of color in the designs and make it really "pop".
To print water-based inks on dark color garments, we add a discharge additive into the water-based inks which greatly helps in making them appear bright and in full color. Discharge water-based inks can not be used on synthetically-made garments, and must only be used on 100% cotton fabrics.
Garments made from organically grown cotton not only feel great, but are also very friendly to the environment. The market of organically grown shirts continues to grow, and every day we are seeing more and more garment options available. All of the colors for organic shirts are fairly similar and generally consist of more "earthy" colors.
Onno is a very popular manufacturer of organic shirts and fabrics. For more information about their company, you can visit their website at https://www.onnotextiles.com/.
If you have any questions about printing with organic or eco-friendly products, please give us a call, and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you!

CONSUUL IN THE NEW YEAR!
In 2010, Consuul evolved from a simple print shop to a full-service soft goods designer, producer, and shipment warehouse with an integrated online ordering system. In 2011, Consuul’s ever-expanding capabilities have allowed us to take on many more clients in the apparel industry while increasing the quality of the relationships we have with our existing clientele.
With our growing customer base came the opportunity for Consuul to grow, both in numbers and in talent.This past year Consuul hired Erik Till (Resource Manager), Brad Lubinsky (Customer service representative) and Matt Hartless (Graphic Designer). Consuul’s growth and presence in the industry did not gone unnoticed; in 2010, Consuul had the honor of being recognized as as a vertically integrated garment manufacture in the State of California and joined the Fair labor association, a national safety and health coalition. With that Consuuls’ owners became OSHA certified and implemented one of the most comprehensive safety and health programs in the industry.
These advancements have allowed us to make an even bigger impact with our clients, which in turn allows them to be at the forefront on their respective industries. We are proud to announce that we have formed a relationship with UCSD and the Triton outfitters to create licensed merchandise for UCSD in 2011 and will continue working with various departments at SDSU this year.
In addition to these exciting new relationships, Consuul clothing will be shifting its focus from creating logo-based designs that promote our printing company, to producing collaborative clothing lines that feature artists from California. In the beginning stages, we are working with a group of artists that have inspired Consuul and aided in the success of our printing company. These clothing lines will be for sale at our downtown boutique, on our website, and special events that we host. The featured artists will showcase their talents at our various events and online through different mediums. Be sure to check out the NEW featured artist section on our website for new designs by Consuul Clothing each season this year.

The Bohemian Market
Over the past weekend, Consuul took part in the Bohemian Marketplace at our Downtown location - The Industry Showroom. There were several clothing lines, fashion designers, jewelers, artists, performers, and local DJs that helped make this event a huge success. Other than the standard in-house brands (such as Consuul, JOJO Electro, Popular Naughty, and Brit boy), there were several international brands in the building, such as Fidelity and True Religion. Between the different exhibitors, you could find anything from designer jeans to handbags and even dresses. There were also several cool products such as screen printed glasses and custom MP3 players.
The event turned out to be a huge success and a lot of fun! Our production team set up a screen press on the sidewalk of Sixth Avenue and had a live screen printing exhibit! We made shirts for the event and shirts for one of our featured artists, Cory Schnitzer, whose artwork was on display at the event. We also had artist and Consuul team member Jonny Alexander painting live for people to watch. Jonny displayed his work at the Marketplace while explaining the art of screen printing to locals on 6th Avenue.
The next Bohemian Marketplace will be Saturday January 22nd. We still have a lot of cool products from this past weekend and will be getting more new gear in the new year. Come by and check it out 345 Sixth Avenue, San Diego 92101.
Enjoy your holidays!
