Eco-friendly products in the Bonfire Catalog

Yes. We offer many eco-friendly products, from apparel and totes made from 100% organic cotton as well as an array of organic, recycled, reclaimed, or otherwise sustainably-sourced plant-based fiber blends.

Bonfire makes it easy to shop and sell sustainably. We currently have 49 eco-friendly products in our catalog and are regularly expanding the selection. We partner with environmentally responsible brands like Stanley/Stella, Allmade, Econscious, and Reclaimist to provide high-quality customizable products. These brands pride themselves on the highest environmental and social responsibility standards. Eco-friendly products are clearly marked throughout the catalog. When you are viewing items in our design tool, all eco-friendly products will be marked with this green badge:

Most of our products are OEKO-TEX® certified at the brand level, covering all dyes and components (including fabric, thread, and trims), which guarantees their garments are tested for harmful substances and are safe for human health. The following brands hold the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification: Allmade, Bella+Canvas, Comfort Colors, Econscious, Gildan, Independent Trading Co., Port & Company, Sport-Tek, and Stanley/Stella.

All of our print partners are expected to comply with applicable local, state, and federal labor and workplace safety regulations, including OSHA requirements where applicable. Partners are responsible for maintaining safe working environments, proper employee training, and operational safety procedures. In addition, Bonfire conducts annual facility visits and maintains ongoing communication with partners to review operations and help ensure expectations are being met.

Bonfire’s print-on-demand model helps reduce excess inventory and unnecessary waste by producing items only after they are ordered. Our process operates on a just in time model, including apparel purchasing, which helps avoid mass production, overstock, and unused inventory.

Our packaging is recyclable and made from 100% recycled material.

Bonfire works to reduce packaging waste by utilizing recycled polymailers for most shipments. For orders that require boxes, our print partners often reuse incoming apparel shipment boxes when they remain in good condition. When possible, orders are routed to the print partner closest to the delivery destination to help reduce unnecessary transportation and improve shipping efficiency. Our print partners also source apparel from the closest available distribution centers whenever possible.

We do not directly manage production facilities ourselves, as production is carried out through our network of print partners. However, we work closely with partners who strive to operate as sustainably as possible and who share our commitment to responsible production practices. We maintain ongoing communication with our partners and encourage efforts focused on operational efficiency, waste reduction, recycling and environmentally conscious practices wherever possible.

Bonfire's products are produced through a network of print and fulfillment partners located throughout the United States. Blank products are manufactured in Honduras, Nicaragua, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China, Mexico, and the United States. Country of origin is subject to change at any time.

Bonfire maintains a small network of carefully selected print partners to help ensure quality and operational oversight. New partners are reviewed against operational, workplace, and responsible production expectations during onboarding. We also conduct facility visits and ongoing check-ins to review operations and discuss updates.

Print partners work to minimize waste through efficient production practices, responsible disposal processes, recycling, and reuse efforts where possible, including reusing incoming apparel shipment boxes for outgoing orders when appropriate.

Bonfire works with print partners that follow applicable environmental, workplace safety, and chemical handling regulations related to their production processes. Much of our production utilizes water-based DTG inks. Partners are responsible for the proper handling and disposal of production materials, including inks, pretreatments, and cleaning solutions, in accordance with applicable guidelines and regulations. Responsible screen cleaning and reclamation practices are also standard among screen printing partners to help support water conservation and responsible operational practices.

Are your inks and dyes non-toxic or water-based?

A high percentage of the items we produce utilize water-based inks through the DTG (direct to garment) printing process. Additional print methods such as DTF (direct to film) and sublimation also utilize water-based ink systems. The balance of our items are produced through screen printing using plastisol ink, which is not water-based but is an industry standard ink widely used in apparel printing

How do you minimize packaging waste?

Bonfire uses recycled polymailers to ship most orders. For items that require a box, our print partners reuse apparel shipment boxes for outgoing shipments whenever the boxes remain in good condition, helping support reuse efforts and reduce packaging.
