Printing tech and materials

*This method is typically used for products with high cotton fabric content, like t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, etc.

Our clothing designs are fulfilled using various methods. Many of our products are printed with the direct-to-garment (DTG) technique, which is a printing method where ink is first sprayed directly onto the garment, and then it soaks into the fabric. It’s like printing on paper, but on clothing. We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint.

The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. The Nomadic Saffa takes sustainability seriously, that’s why we take care to properly dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.

Information about embroidery

At The Nomadic Saffa, we embroider our products with Oeko-Tex™ certified threads, meaning they’re safe for both adult and children's clothing.  Compared to printing, embroidery is generally more durable and produces less environmental waste.
