Quality

Whether you're buying a Fine Art Print, mug, t-shirt or tote bag, quality is my top priority.
I've spent over a year carefully testing the durability and wear of the durable t-shirts, sturdy mugs, photographic papers and other high-quality materials that I've chosen to represent me and the quality I stand for.
This ensures that both the product itself and the printed design look great and last a long time.

I also make sure that my choices leave the smallest possible footprint on Mother Earth. Everything I have an influence on is as sustainable and long-lasting as possible.
This applies to everything from t-shirts, printing inks and photo paper to glue and packaging.

Every single item is inspected and handled by me - wearing silk gloves during production, inspection and packaging before it's shipped - so that you can see, feel and sense how careful I've been with your order.    Now I just hope you'll enjoy it for many years.

Photo Paper & Ink Sustainability
Eco-Certified Paper: The Canon paper types I use come exclusively from recycled fibers or responsibly managed forests (FSC® / PEFC™ certified).
They carry the EU Ecolabel and the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, guaranteeing strict limits on CO2 emissions and harmful chemicals during production.

Archival Quality (ISO 9706): The Fine Art paper is completely acid-free, ensuring your print will last for generations without fading or breaking down.

Safe & Non-Toxic Ink: I use professional Canon LUCIA PRO pigment inks. They comply fully with strict EU safety legislations, meaning they are thoroughly tested, low-hazard, and completely free from dangerous solvents or heavy metals.

Responsibility & Sustainability

OEKO-TEX®
The garment products I use are Oeko-Tex 100 Standard certified. This is a worldwide certification system for textile materials. It guarantees that the fabrics are safe and free from harmful chemicals that could damage your health.

FAIR WEAR FOUNDATION®
The suppliers follow the Fair Wear Foundation Code of Labour Practices. They are committed to maintaining fair and safe working conditions. The Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) works to improve labor standards in the textile industry worldwide and monitors factories to ensure workers are treated properly.

FAIR WORKING HOURS GUIDE®
This code of conduct is based on the International Labour Organization conventions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The standards include:
No child labor
No forced labor
Safe and healthy working conditions
Legal employment contracts
Fair wages, freedom of association, and the right to collective bargaining
No discrimination against employees and no excessive working hours

Mug Certification & Ethics
SGS & FDA Certification: The BestSubs Class A mugs I use are certified by SGS (the world's leading inspection company) and approved according to US FDA standards and European regulations for food contact. This means that the special coating (the surface used for printing) is completely non-toxic. The mugs are tested and proven free from lead and cadmium, even when exposed to hot liquids.

BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative): The ceramic and coating factories have passed official BSCI audits. This is a very important certification regarding responsibility. It guarantees safe and proper working conditions for the employees, compliance with local labor laws, fair wages, fixed working hours, and a total ban on child labor or forced labor.
