Printify: Building a Sustainable Future for Print-On-Demand

Derek Mohr

On-Demand Creativity with Environmental & Social Stewardship

At Grand Rapids Branding, we partner with Printify to bring your custom designs to life. Here’s how Printify is stepping up in sustainability—and why that matters.

ESG Accountability & Transparency

Printify publishes annual ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reports. Their 2023 ESG Report lays out initial assessments of environmental impact, and the 2024 Sustainability Report doubles down on setting and tracking ambitious goals.

Environmental Commitment & Packaging Practices

They’re evaluating the environmental impact of deliveries and plan to share results by 2026. Printify supports eco-friendly product offerings—such as items with organic cotton, recycled fabrics, biomaterials—and encourages the use of certifications like GOTS, OEKO-TEX®, FSC, and Eco Passport.

Production, Materials & Waste Reduction

Like other POD platforms, Printify avoids overproduction entirely because items are made only after purchase. They also promote eco-conscious printing methods (like water-based inks), smarter packaging, and lower-emission shipping.

Ethical Supply Chain & Governance

Printify enforces a Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure responsible and transparent business practices across their network.


Printify offers more than design flexibility—it commits to evaluating and improving its social and environmental footprint. From certified sustainable materials to forward-looking ESG standards, Printify aligns with Grand Rapids Branding’s vision of responsible print-on-demand.
