Sustainability – Smarter Printing & Longer-Lasting Uniforms
At NS Promo, we believe sustainable printing is about more than eco-friendly inks. It’s about choosing durable garments, efficient production and reduced waste so every print job lasts longer and impacts less.
Our approach to sustainable printing
- Eco-conscious inks: Water-based pigment inks for DTF and DTG printing reduce harsh chemical use and clean up with water.
- Energy-efficient production: Modern equipment minimises heat exposure and shortens press time.
- Durability = sustainability: Garments and prints built to last mean fewer replacements and less textile waste.
Responsible garment choices
- Quality fabrics: Choosing pre-shrunk cotton, blends and recycled fibres reduces shrinkage and increases wear life.
- Workwear focus: Long-wearing polos, shirts and jackets designed to hold up on site and in wash cycles.
- Neutral base colours: Black, navy and charcoal options resist fading and extend the uniform’s lifespan.
Reducing waste in production
- On-demand printing: Only the quantities you need are printed, reducing excess stock and landfill risk.
- Efficient layout: DTF film sheets are ganged up to minimise material offcuts.
- Digital-first process: No screens, no plates, no chemical baths.
Packaging & delivery
- Minimal packaging: Orders packed with recyclable satchels or cartons.
- Sydney-based fulfilment: Local production reduces freight miles and turnaround times.
- Batch dispatch: Grouped deliveries for bulk orders where possible.
Why sustainability matters
Corporate teams, schools and clubs are under growing pressure to reduce environmental impact. Sustainable printing isn’t just about eco-badges—it’s about responsible sourcing, efficient production and long-lasting results that cut costs and consumption over time.

Do you use eco-friendly inks?
Yes. Our DTF and DTG inks are water-based, reducing harsh chemicals and enabling easier clean-up.
Are your garments certified sustainable?
We offer recycled fibre and organic cotton options on request. Standard workwear is selected for durability and long lifespan.
How does local production help sustainability?
By printing in Sydney, we reduce freight distances, cut turnaround times and keep production impact local.
Can packaging be reduced?
Yes. We can pack bulk orders in grouped cartons or use recyclable satchels with minimal excess packaging.
Is durability really part of sustainability?
Absolutely. Long-lasting prints and garments reduce replacement frequency, saving resources and cost.
